Anti-lag is a tuning setup used on turbocharged cars to keep the turbo spinning when the driver lifts off the throttle, which creates the distinctive pops and bangs in the exhaust. The Toyota Supra, long popular with tuners for its strong turbo engine, became a favourite subject for this sound in car videos on social media. Short clips of Supras crackling at meets, on dynos and in drift footage spread through car edits and memes, and the sound is still used because it instantly reads as modified, loud and fast.

The loud pops, bangs and crackles of a Toyota Supra anti-lag system, used in car edits and memes to make a launch or drift clip feel more aggressive.
An anti-lag Supra sound captures the raw, unfiltered noise of a modified Toyota Supra with its anti-lag system active. Instead of a smooth engine note, you hear sharp pops, rapid crackles and deep exhaust bangs as unburnt fuel ignites in the exhaust, usually between gear changes or when the driver lifts off the throttle. The bursts feel sudden and violent, almost like small explosions, and they instantly signal power, tuning culture and street-racing energy. In a video, that harsh, rhythmic crackle grabs attention, makes a car feel faster than it looks, and gives even a short clip a punchy, aggressive finish.
