The celica, used to be used by toyota in wrc. There was a model available in japan called celica all trac gt4
It had a turbocharged 2.0 liter turbocharged motor, and all wheel drive.
It was a homologation model for the wrc rally car, just like the lancer evo, and subby wrx sti were.

When tuned properly, with the right parts, they could easily make these kind of horsepower numbers.

These toyota celicas were toyota's homologation wrc cars before they switched to the hatche back toyota corolla back in 1998 I think, can't recall the year.
Some of you may have recognise the corolla wrc, from the Gran Turismo video game back in the day. But before that car was used, the celica was the wrc homologation car for years.

Most of you have never even seen one of those celicas in real life as they rarely made it outside of Japan, but I have had the pleasure of seeing a few. I think, Toyota did import an all wheel drive celica to the us, breifly. Like less that 100

When I get home I might find some useful links to show you guys. Ah, then again, maybe not, since you guys know everything.
You do realize we had All Tracs here, right? And there were many more than 100 of them here. And you do realize that USDM and JDM 3S-GTEs are nearly identical, right?

You're a tard.
