In-game description[]
"The Celica's first full-time 4WD model with incredible driving performance."
For the fourth-generation Celica, Toyota decided to wipe the slate clean, and redesign and reengineer the sports coupe from scratch. When the car made its debut in August 1985, it was evident that Toyota changed the very soul of the popular compact.
The most notable of these changes was the switch from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. The engine, now mounted transversely, powered the front wheels. Although it wasn't a popular choice for enthusiasts, the car's exterior design was. It sat lower to the ground and was wider, and its aerodynamic shape accounted for a drag coefficient of 0.31. Toyota called this new styling "stream surface". It came only in 3-door hatchback form.
Three different powerplants were offered at first, a 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter SOHC inline-4, and a 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder called the 3S-GELU. It produced 158 BHP and came with the top-of-the-line model, the GT-R. Despite switching to FF (Front engine, Front drive), the Celica still possessed competent handling, thanks to its fully independent suspension that consisted of struts at front and rear. It also stopped well, with ventilated front disc brakes. In October 1986, the all-wheel-drive GT-Four was released, with a 2.0-liter engine that pumped out 182 BHP. A WRC version of this car was created, and in 1990 won the Driver's title with Carlos Sainz behind the wheel.

Trivia[]
- In the NTSC version of Gran Turismo 2, when this car is encountered as an opponent in the first rally race at Tahiti Maze, it will be referred as TOYOTA ST185 GT-FOUR during replays. This trait, probably a leftover from the NTSC-J version of the game, also happen in other cars. However, it was fixed in the PAL version of the game.
