500bhp celica..what they SHOULDA MADE!! Options

[95st-celica]

The result is the RMM Ultimate Celica . The car started life as a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S in FWD form . The end result was a raging 4wd monster . The engine and driveline came from the ST-205 Celica GT-FOUR , and was then shoehorned in . This is a classic example of what Toyota "should" have made . The engine whipped out 500 bhp [372.9kw[ at 8000rpm and 460.9nm [339.9ftlbs] of torque at 5500rpm . Around the 19"x8.5" wide wheels on each corner is 245 / 35 - 19" rubber and inside that is 312mm disks for some serious stopping power .

The end result is facinating !



that car is f*ckin sick...wish toyota wouldnt have sucked it up when they were designing these..the fron is ugly as hell but the rear is sexy...but with 500 awd brake hp who is complaining??

isn't the reason they stopped selling the gt4 in the US because they couldn't sell them? it was just too expensive. hell the 6gc was expensive just for the gt model. that's one of the reasons not many people have them. i do think it's sad but the fact of it all is that it wasn't a profitable car. also what happened to the 7gc vert? got cut because there wasn't as much of a market for them and it would cost more to mass produce then they could earn.
car companies lose money on sports cars because they aren't economical and most people could care less what there car looks like or how fast it is. as long as it gets them where it needs to go. that's why toyota stopped any and all production sports cars for a few years. the sportiest thing they have out right now is probably the tc and it's still not a sports car.
maybe with the l-fa (whatever it's called) will break that trend.
