It's alive.

"The Turbo-A was Toyota's evolution model for [Group A] Japanese Touring Car Championships (JTCC) all over the world which required a minimum homologation run of 500 units which were only sold in Japan and was produced between August and September 1988. Thus the term 88 Spec A. Some noted differences between the standard Supra 3.0 GT and the Turbo-A model are both cosmetic and mechanical. The stock CT-26 turbo had a slightly larger inducer and can be identified by a stamped "E" on the raised casting on the compressor housing. The turbo-A had a 65 mm (2.6 in) throttle body and accompanied larger diameter crossover pipe, instead of the standard 7M-GTE 60 mm (2.4 in) and "3000" cast original unit. The Turbo-A also benefited from a larger volume steel air cleaner, instead of the factory plastic unit."​

One of the most attractive cars of the '50s in my eyes. Sadly not all T26s looked like this.
