Celicas

Celicas are a series of sports cars produced by Toyota from 1970 to 2005. The name "Celica" is derived from the Latin word "coelum," meaning sky, reflecting the car's sporty and agile nature. The first generation Celica, introduced in 1970, was a two-door coupe based on the Toyota Corolla. It featured a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, which was a departure from Toyota's conventional front-engine, front-wheel-drive design. This unique configuration contributed to the Celica's sporty reputation.

The second generation Celica, introduced in 1978, was a significant departure from its predecessor. It featured a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, similar to other Toyota models. This generation introduced the GT trim, which was a high-performance version of the Celica. The GT featured a more powerful engine, improved handling, and a sportier interior.

The third generation Celica, introduced in 1985, was a two-door coupe with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. This generation introduced the GT-Four trim, which was a high-performance version of the Celica with all-wheel drive. The GT-Four was a popular choice among enthusiasts for its sporty handling and all-wheel-drive capability.

The fourth generation Celica, introduced in 1999, was a two-door coupe with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. This generation introduced the TRD Sportivo trim, which was a high-performance version of the Celica. The TRD Sportivo featured a more powerful engine, improved handling, and a sportier interior.

The Celica was known for its sporty handling, agile performance, and unique design. It was a popular choice among enthusiasts and collectors alike. The Celica's production ended in 2005, but its legacy continues to live on in the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world.
