Toyota quickly sensed the demand for a lightweight, agile coupé combining reliability with sporty flair.
Thus was born the Celica line, spanning several generations, gaining not only a loyal customer base but also success in motorsport.
As the 1980s approached, the brand opted for a front-wheel drive system, which raised concerns about the new model's handling.
However, Toyota engineers rose to the challenge admirably.
The model, factory-designated ST162, lived up to expectations, proving its worth both on regular roads and on rally stages.
Furthermore, in addition to the closed-top version, the Celica was also offered as a convertible, primarily for the American market.
