ST185

ST185 refers to a specific designation within the automotive world, most notably associated with the Toyota Celica. It is the chassis code for the fourth generation of the Toyota Celica GT-Four, a high-performance variant of the Celica sports car produced from 1986 to 1989. The ST185 generation is particularly recognized for its rally heritage, having been a successful platform in the World Rally Championship (WRC).

Key features of the ST185 GT-Four include a powerful turbocharged engine, typically a 2.0-liter 3S-GTE, and an advanced all-wheel-drive system. This combination provided exceptional performance and handling, making it a formidable competitor both on the road and in motorsport. The styling of the ST185 was also a departure from previous generations, featuring a more angular and aggressive design.

Within the ST185 designation, there were further sub-variants, such as the RC (or Carlos Sainz Edition), which featured enhancements for homologation purposes in WRC. These included a different turbocharger, intercooler, and other mechanical upgrades. The ST185's impact on Toyota's performance image was significant, and it remains a sought-after model among enthusiasts and collectors.
