On this episode of The Gated Shift, we're diving deep into the history of a true automotive icon: the Toyota Supra Mk IV (A80). Join us as we trace the Supra's lineage, from its origins as a Celica variant to its status as a JDM legend. We'll explore the development of the legendary Mk IV, the groundbreaking 2JZ engine that powered it, and the cultural phenomenon it became, thanks in part to its starring role in The Fast and the Furious. We'll also uncover the Supra's often-overlooked motorsport history, including its participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its dominance in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC). Whether you're a die-hard Supra fan or just curious about the hype, this episode is your ultimate guide to one of the greatest Japanese sports cars ever made.

This week episode, we announce a new format to the show going forward.
Topics.
While this may sound relatively basic, Gated Shift has something no other automotive podcast has....someone that is a millenial, and someone that is Gen Z. So over the next few weeks, we will be breaking down topics from different points of view. Listen to a gen z take vs a millenial take on different topics in a fascinating discussion. This week? Takeovers. Automotive takeovers has been a black mark on a the passion we all share. But how did they start? How did we get here? Is there a way out?

Gated Shift has something no other automotive podcast has....someone that is a millenial, and someone that is Gen Z.
So over the next few weeks, we will be breaking down topics from different points of view. This week? Tesla Cybertuck and Fanboys. With what is likely the biggest automotive launch in the last decade, the Cybertruck is finally here. But what do we think? Do we want one? Is it just a slab of metal with no soul? The conversation starts there and then quickly moves to the concept of being a fanboy as a whole. What that means, how that has evolved, and how you can shake it.

Explore the genesis of Porsche's 'RS' legend with The Gated Shift! This week, host Thanasi dives deep into the iconic Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Born from the necessity to dominate Group 4 GT racing, this homologation special became one of the most revered classic Porsches ever built. We'll uncover the obsessive lightweighting philosophy behind the M471 Sport version, contrast it with the M472 Touring, and dissect the engineering marvels like the potent 2.7L air-cooled flat-six engine with Bosch MFI and Nikasil cylinders. Discover the story behind the legendary 'ducktail' spoiler (Bürzel) and how it improved aerodynamics. We'll also discuss the widened rear track, Fuchs wheels, stiffened suspension, the dominant racing success of the RSR it spawned (winning Daytona, Targa Florio, and its class at Le Mans in 1973), and its enduring legacy on future Rennsport models. Plus, we touch on the current market value of this blue-chip collector car. Subscribe to The Gated Shift for your weekly dose of automotive history and German sports car analysis!
