This particular example of the 1994 Toyota Supra was listed without a reserve price and has been picked up at an astonishing amount. To give you perspective, that's about the same price as the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Coupe in the US. The new owner will get extensive documentation about the car and a certificate of authenticity as well.

The F&F Supra was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, California. The same car was later overhauled into Slap Jack's Supra that featured in 2 Fast 2 Furious. After the shoot ended, the car was then returned to its famous appearance from the first film. The car is indeed special as it became the poster child for the American tuner scene for that era.
