In-game Description[]
This description is taken from the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2:
By 1995, Toyota's evergreen Celica was into its sixth incarnation and was, unlike its competition, a purpose-built coupe, rather than a rebodied saloon car. Its looks were as distinctive as ever. A set of four faired-in front headlights provided a smooth appearance, while the aesthetics of the rear were improved with large curved quarter windows and colour-coordinated bumpers. It was aerodynamic too, with a cD of just 0.32. Under the bonnet was Toyota's two-litre four-cylinder twin cam 16-valve engine which was fettled enough to give 173bhp at 7,000rpm. Torque was equally impressive with 137 lb/ft at 4,800rpm. The resulting performance was on a par with any hot hatch. The Celica took just 7.9 seconds to get to 60mph from a standing start, while 139mph provided a more than reasonable maximum. Power was put down to the front wheels via a five-speed gearbox, while the car also boasted ventilated disc brakes at the front (solid at the rear) as well as an ABS system as standard. Like the previous two generations, this version of the Celica also came in turbo nutter GT-Four guise. It added turbocharging, permanent four-wheel-drive, a super advanced ABS system and super strut suspension to the Celica's basic ingredient. With nearly 240bhp to call upon the GT-Four could turn in some impressive performance times too. Should you dare to stamp on the accelerator, the Four would lash to 60mph in 6.1 seconds and wouldn't run out of steam until it had hit 153mph. This incarnation of the Celica was lighter, stronger, and more powerful than anything that had gone before and it needed to be if it was to take on other rally-bred racers like the Escort Cosworth and Delta Integrale.

Trivia[]
- Due to a bug in international versions of GT1, the opponent performance data used for this car in the Gran Turismo World Cup, Grand Valley 300km, and Special Stage Route 11 All-Night Endurance Race I events uses that of the Toyota Corona Exiv 200GT '96 instead.
- In international versions of GT1, a duplicate car internally named
tceenexists as a hidden car. It is both visually and statistically identical to the used version (internally namedtcegn) although lacking a car logo or description text. Interestingly,tceenhas proper four-wheel drive behavior, whiletcegnbehaves as if it's a front-wheel drive car. It seems during development Polyphony Digital did try to fix this issue, but it never materialised in the final release. Because of this extra data, the above bug occurs when it's car setup is loaded.[1]- Several 4WD cars in GT1 also suffer from this issue, namely the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR '95, Mitsubishi GALANT VR-4 (J) '96, and Nissan Pulsar GTi-R '91, because their rear torque split value is set to zero.
- Because the car appearing in GT2 has a larger rear spoiler (compared to the version appearing in GT1, with it's low-profile rear wing also used on the SS-II model), it can be assumed that the GT2 version is based on the WRC edition model, as the larger rear spoiler was not a factory option until the 1997 model year.
