More Info When Toyota launched its all-new Celica last October, fans of the nearly 30-year-old marque may have thought the auto manufacturer had engineered the ultimate sporty subcompact. They would have thought wrong. Toyota, along with Rod Millen Motorsports and Toyota Racing Development (TRD), has engineered the Ultimate Celica, a 500-horsepower, all-wheel drive powerhouse. It will make its debut at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, January 8-16, in the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Ultimate Celica is the extreme in driving excitement. It features a race-bred suspension, custom exhaust system, Recaro sport seats with four-point belts, an integrated rollcage, a racing fuel cell, performance tires and wheels, and Champ Car-inspired styling. The Ultimate Celica concept was developed by the same trio of enthusiasts who conceived the Lexus Street Rod and the Toyota Retro Cruiser - - Toyota executives Jim Press, senior executive vice president, Yale Gieszl, vice chairman, and Bryan Bergsteinsson, group vice president and general manager of the company’s Lexus division. “We knew from the beginning that we wanted to build a 500-horsepower Celica,” said Bergsteinsson. “Of course, with that much power we knew it would be built as an all-wheel drive car. At that point we sat down with Rod Millen and began detailed discussions and development of the ultimate Celica.” To reach the 500 horsepower goal, TRD immediately began work on tuning a four-cylinder production powerplant previously used in the Celica All-Trac (1988-1993). It is a derivative of the power-laden engine used in Toyota’s championship-winning IMSA GTP race cars of the early ‘90s, and Rod Millen’s record-setting Pikes Peak Hill Climb runners. The bore and stroke were increased, a turbocharger installed and Rod Millen Motorsports custom-built a set of headers made out of inconel and a stainless steel exhaust. As a result, the Ultimate Celica produces 500 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and creates 340 lbs.-ft. of torque at 5,500. In order to handle the increase in power and torque, the Celica’s production, front-wheel drive powertrain had to be converted into an all-wheel drive system. “Toyota has a great reputation for all-wheel drive technology,” added Bergsteinsson. “We drew on our knowledge from years of successful world rally competition and engineered a strong powertrain with five-speed manual transmission for use in the Ultimate Celica.” Modifications also were made to the Bilstein struts and springs to balance and support the vehicle’s additional weight, and the All-Trac’s racing-inspired over-sized brakes were installed for more efficient braking power. To help stiffen the vehicle’s chassis, Rod Millen Motorsports built a custom rollcage. The front tubes of the cage were welded to existing body work and hidden behind the interior panels, while the remainder of the rollcage is only visible behind the front seats. The interior of the Ultimate Celica is identical to the production model, except for the additional feature of front, custom Recaro sport seats equipped with four-point racing harnesses. The Ultimate Celica’s distinctive look was created at Calty, Toyota’s U.S. design center in Newport Beach, Calif. “When Calty styled the 2000 Celica production vehicle, we used Champ Car design influences,” said Dave Hackett, Calty executive director. “We simply took the theme a step further for the Ultimate Celica by designing a box-shaped rear wing and a unique front fascia that mimics a formula car-styled nose and front suspension.” The Calty-styled front fascia, rear body panels and wing were built by the Aria Group in Irvine, Calif. The new body pieces widen the vehicle by 3.8-inches in the front and 3.2 in the rear. Further sharpening the Ultimate Celica’s appearance are 245/35 Michelin Pilot performance tires wrapped around 19-inch BBS magnesium racing wheels with knockoffs, and the vehicle’s unique color was developed and applied in a special, three-stage process at the Calty studios. “Helping Toyota assemble and build the Ultimate Celica has been a blast,” commented an enthusiastic Rod Millen. “And they’ve already said I can start giving some rides in it....some really, really fast rides.”

They were trying for an F1 inspired look but it just comes off looking cheezy. Nice job on the mods though...I'd take one, but I wouldn't pay what it cost. :)

What i dont like about it is the way the wing goes right down past the boot. Look better with a wing on the top of the boot only.

Toyota TRD and RMM took a step backwards to create a monstrous car using the previous generation 3S-GTE from the GT4/all-tracs as a foundation, instead of the newer 2ZZ-GE. Was this a good idea, or bad one? If anyone is inclined to comment, please do so at this thread (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t4587.html).
And DVSNCYNIKL, LOL about that "You are here" thing. Mind if I use that pic? :D

Actually it's a Champ car look. I forgot to add, for those of you who don't like the nose, try and take a standpoint from definition rather than visual appeal. The nose says CART all over it. The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach comes into mind. Meanwhile, CALTY is near all of this action. It's no wonder why the Ultimate Celica looks the way it does--it's a American statement for our japanese products.
