For 1994, Toyota
completely revamped the Celica line. It was only
available in ST and GT trims in the US for the 1994
model year, but the addition of the optional "Sports
Package" to the GT produced GT-S-like handling. The
ST had a new 1.8 liter 7A-FE engine, while the GT
was powered by the carried-over 2.2 liter 5S-FE,
which were also be found in the Corolla and Camry,
respectively. In Canada, the GT Liftback with
"sports package" is badged GT-S. Styling of the new
Celicas was acclaimed by most publications as
"Supra-esque" with four exposed headlights. Celicas
were available in either notchback (coupe) or
liftback form, with the GT sports package available
only on the liftback. New safety equipment in the
form of driver (and then later passenger-side)
airbags was standard, and anti-lock brakes were
available on all models. Many Celicas also sported
CFC-free air conditioning.
Initially the Japanese domestic market (JDM) models
were SS-I and SS-II. The ST205 GT-Four was launched
in February 1994, and the Convertible in the Autumn
of the same year.
Production of the All-Trac, or GT-Four ST205 as it
was known outside the US, continued for the
Japanese, Australian, European, and British markets.
This version was to be the most powerful Celica
produced to date, producing between 240-250 hp from
an updated 3S-GTE engine. Influenced strongly by
Toyota Team Europe, Toyota's factory team in the
World Rally Championship, the final version of the
GT-Four included improvements such as an all
aluminum hood to save weight, four-channel ABS, an
improved CT20B turbocharger, and Super Strut
Suspension. The 2500 homologation cars built to
allow Toyota to enter the GT-Four as a Group A car
in the World Rally Championship also sported extras
such as all of the plumbing required to activate an
anti-lag system, a water spray bar for the front
Intercooler and an extender spoiler mounted on
risers. The car proved to be quite competitive in
the 1995 World Championship. However, the team was
banned from competition for a year after the car's
single victory due to turbocharger fixing - a device
that meant there was no air path restriction on the
intake - when the jubilee clip was undone this would
flick back in to place so as to go un-noticed by
inspectors (or at least that was the plan!) Toyota
have always claimed that they knew nothing of the
fix - but opponents say it was one very cleverly
engineered device! In some respects this car is a
true sports car; in order to qualify for rallying it
has a lot of special features and a unique strut
arrangement (interestingly - so strange they
replaced it with normal mcpheresons for rallies).
In Australia, the ST204 (2.2 liter) was offered in
SX and ZR trim levels. The ZR has standard fog
lights, alloys, and other features. The ST205 is the
final GT-Four Celica which was only available in
Australia in 1994. There was a limited delivery of
only 77 ST205's with each vehicle including an
individual numbered plaque in the cabin and Group A
Rallye badges on the hatch.
1995 saw the introduction of the third generation
convertible. Built off of the GT coupe, the
conversion took place in the ASC facility in Rancho
Dominguez, California. The vehicle arrived in the US
as a partially assembled vehicle. At ASC, the roof
was removed and a three-layer insulated and
power-operated top was installed, producing a
vehicle that was virtually water and windproof.
n August 1995, the SS-III was added into Japanese
line up. The 1996 Celica received optional side
skirts to improve its aerodynamic efficiency, as
well as a redesigned rear spoiler. Also available
were optional driving lights in the redesigned
grille area (standard on GT models). To celebrate 25
years of Celica, the SS-I and SS-III Special Edition
were released in Japan, and the 25th Anniversary ST
Limited and GT Convertible marked this occasion in
the USA.
For 1997, the only change in the North American
Celica was the discontinuation of the GT coupe.
Another minor change was given to JDM Celica in
December 1997. Projector headlights are optional for
all models. The 3S-GE engine on SS-II and SS-III
received VVT-i, the SS-III was given a BEAMS Tuned
3S-GE engine. WRC style high rear spoiler returned
on the GT-Four and also standard on the SS-III.
In 1998, the underpowered ST model was discontinued,
leaving only GT models. In addition, the GT coupe
returned after a year's absence. The Celica lineup
was simplified even further for 1999 by eliminating
all coupes, leaving only the GT Liftback and GT
Convertible. The GT-Four was still offered in Japan.
Also in 1999, Toyota released pictures of their XYR
concept car, which would soon become the next
Celica.

Toyota Celica Seventh generation / T230 series (2000-2006)
In 2000, Toyota began
production and sales of the seventh generation
Celica. It closely resembled the XYR concept with
the exception of the front bumper and rear spoiler.
The 2000 Celica was an element of Toyota Project
Genesis, an effort to bring younger buyers to the
marque in the United States.

The Celica came in two different models. The ZZT230
powered by an economical 1.8 L 4-cylinder 140 hp
1ZZ-FE engine and the ZZT231 powered by a
higher-performance 1.8 L twin turbo 4-cylinder 381
hp 2ZZ-GE version, co-developed with Yamaha. Both of
these engines featured Toyota's signature VVT-i
(Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) system,
which continuously varies the camshaft timing.
For 2003 model year, the Celica received a face
lift, with a revised front bumper, revised tail
lights, and the addition of several new colors to
the lineup. The GT-S was also now equipped with a
drive-by-wire (DBW) throttle body in the manual
transmission model.
North America
In the USA and Canada the base model with 1ZZ-FE
engine is called GT, and the higher performance
model with 2ZZ-GE engine is GT-S. The GT-S had a
more extensive and advanced system called VVTL-i
(Variable Valve Timing with Lift and Intelligence),
which is similar to the VVT-i except until 6100 rpm,
when maximum intake valve lift is increased a
fraction further to provide an increase in top-end
power, accounting for the 41 hp difference. The GT
was available in both a 5-speed manual and 4-speed
automatic and the GT-S was available with a
close-ratio 6-speed manual and a 4-speed manually
shiftable torque converter automatic by Tiptronic.
Unfortunately, Toyota was too late to the sport
compact party. However, the Celica enjoyed the
spotlight for about a year or so, being that it was
one of the few vehicles offering 100 hp/L for under
$27,000 USD. In 2001, Honda released its Integra
replacement, the Acura RSX for the 2002 model year,
the Type-S model with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder 200 hp
engine, which competed directly with the Celica GT-S.
In 2004, for the 2005 model year, the RSX Type-S
raised the hp to 210.
In 2002 Toyota also made some changes on the Celica
GT-S, with the revs being limited to 7800 rpm, down
from 8250 rpm on the original 7th generation. (The
RHD Celicas did not incur the reduction in the
redline rpm) This difference results in a big hit to
performance, as the 2ZZ is primarily a high-revving
engine.
In July 2004, Toyota announced the Celica (as well
as the MR2) would be discontinued in the United
States at the end of the 2005 model year because of
increasing competition and lack of sales. [1] Celica
sales hit 52,406 units in 2000, but dropped sharply
to 14,856 in 2003. Just 8,710 Celicas were sold in
2004, and only 3,113 were sold in 2005. Many
attribute the 2004 loss in sales to the introduction
of the cheaper Scion tC.
Japan
Japanese models continued to carry SS-I and SS-II
trim levels. The SS-I is powered by 1ZZ-FE engine,
SS-II comes with 2ZZ-GE engine. The SS-II also can
be ordered with Super Strut Package with super strut
suspension, rear strut bar, 16-inch alloys, metal
pedals, and colored rocker panels. The SS-II has
climate control AC with digital display. Optional is
the choice of Elegant Sports Version with front lip
spoiler and headlight cover, or Mechanical Sports
Version with full body kits. The JDM Celica got
minor change in August 2002.
Europe
All the European models have the 6-speed manual transmission, and was just marketed as 1.8 VVT-i and 1.8 VVTL-i 190 or T-Sport, which are the GT and GT-S, respectively.
In 2005, Toyota GB released the Celica GT. This is not the same as GT in North America. The British GT is actually the T-Sport with additional body kits and bigger alloys.
