About the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205
The ST205 generation Celica GT-Four was the most powerful iteration of Toyota's rally-homologation series, designed to conquer the World Rally Championship. It featured the advanced 'Super Strut' front suspension and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system with a Torsen rear differential. While the road car was highly capable, its competition history was cut short by a controversial WRC ban in 1995 due to an illegal turbo restrictor. Today, it is a highly sought-after JDM icon, prized for its robust 3S-GTE engine and direct connection to Toyota's golden era of rallying.
