Let me add the last two gens Supra which also came with a NA and turbo version from day one.

In the last 25 years, Toyota has not really bumped the power on their sporty cars during a model run outside of minor tuning changes which may have resulted in a little (very little) more power.
Fair call.
SW20 for the US market, yes. Although the JDM Beams engine was a pretty significant increase.
Celica actually offered just the 2ZZ in Australia.
ZZW30 did get a turbo from the UK.
