Homologation-special cars are always the coolest cars to nerd out on, especially anything WRC-ralated. I rarely see these Celicas around town nowadays so it was a treat to find this amazing example at Super Lap Battle in COTA last week. Aaaaannnnnndddddd I'm now on Craiglist looking for one....

@superfast30 Жыл бұрын

Buddy of mine had one of these back in the early 2000's. Had a slightly larger turbo, had removed all badging and had fitted a hood from a regular Celica so it was fairly stealth. He would regularly show up to local street races where it was mainly comprised of muscle cars and a few imports. The muscle car guys had absolutely no clue what it was even it had all the badging and hood. The import guys were aware of the GT four but they were rare enough that they would not even think that it was a GT four in disguise. Car upset quite a few muscle car guys.

The ST165 Celica has some of the best AWD handling despite having a very primitive AWD system. Mine cornered as if on rails. You need to get hold of the period correct OZ roulette wheels for them too.

Celica GT4 is not the GR Yaris predecessor. It's the Toyota Starlet Remix (Japan only) or Starlet X (US version). Starlet evolves to various nameplate as Echo, Vitz, and currently Yaris. Starlet X or Remix (AWD 5 speed manual) was in limited production and was also in rally.
