1995 Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205 w/ OZ Racing Wheels (w/ startup)

A silver 1995 Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205) arriving at and leaving Carcadia. Built for the Japanese, Australian, European, and British markets, the ST205 GT-Four was a homologation special built for Group A World Rally Championship (WRC) competition and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 3S-GTE four-cylinder engine. This imported example has been modified with OZ Racing wheels.

If you grew up somewhere where there was even just a little interest in JDM cars, chances are you've seen numerous Celicas or known someone who had one. They're fun, stylish, and budget-friendly cars that were certainly not meant to be considered exotic. But as with many common JDM performance cars, there are certain variants that make enthusiasts drool with delight, and the fact that they were never sold in the States only multiplies their desirability here. The Celica GT-Four was one such forbidden fruit - a competition-proven rally monster that was kept from us unfortunate Americans until the 25-year import rule allowed examples to be brought to our shores. To some, this may just be an old Toyota with the steering wheel on the wrong side. But for fans of JDM culture and rally racing history, it is undoubtedly a highly prized possession.
