In a twist that’s turning heads in the automotive world, a classic Toyota Sera, a car that still manages to look like it zipped out of a sci-fi movie, has been spotted for sale. The 1990’s gem, known for its unique butterfly doors and glass roof canopy, is making waves in Maharashtra with an asking price of just INR 6 lakh.
This red dazzler, sporting the registration number NL02C4493, hails from Nagaland. While it lacks a No Objection Certificate (NOC), the car is in running condition and comes with its RC book. Underneath its futuristic façade lies a robust 1500 cc, Inline-4 cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. This little red speedster boasts 104 horsepower and 132 Nm of torque, sure to give its new owner a thrilling ride.
The Toyota Sera, model designation EXY10, is a 3-door 2+2 hatchback coupe that was only officially sold in Japan. It ruled the roads from February 1990 to December 1995. Originally debuted as the Toyota AXV-II concept car in 1988, the Sera came to life at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show. This model is not just a car; it’s a slice of automotive history.
One of the most striking features of the Sera is its butterfly doors, which tilt up and forward, reminiscent of the iconic McLaren F1 and Saleen S7. In fact, the McLaren F1’s designer, Gordon Murray, cited the Sera as the inspiration behind the F1’s door arrangement. These doors aren’t just for show; they’re supported by a robust gas strut, making them as functional as they are stylish.
Inside, the car doesn’t skimp on comfort. Front bucket seats equipped with three-point seatbelts offer easy access to the rear, where a bench seat awaits, complete with a fixed central armrest and either two or three-point seatbelts.
This 1995 red Toyota Sera, a marvel of its time, is now available for someone looking to own a piece of automotive history, or perhaps just wanting to turn heads as they cruise down the streets. This blast from the past proves that some cars, like fine wine, only get better with age.
