About the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185
The ST185-generation Celica GT-Four, known as the All-Trac Turbo in North America, replaced the angular ST165 with a 'super round' bio-design aesthetic. It features the second-generation 3S-GTE engine with a twin-entry turbocharger and a permanent four-wheel-drive system utilizing a viscous coupling centre differential. This generation became Toyota's most successful rally car, securing three consecutive WRC Drivers' titles from 1992 to 1994 and two Manufacturers' titles. While the standard road car is more of a grand tourer than a raw rally special, its robust engineering and motorsport pedigree make it a highly sought-after modern classic.
