The Toyota Celica IMSA GTO was sold directly by Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. to their championship-winning driver Chris Cord, and it now incorporates all of the latest performance developments, including a revised suspension setup, a carbon fiber body and driveshaft, a more robust gearbox, and aerodynamic improvements.

The Celicas are powered by a production-based, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 128 cubic-inches of displacement, and competed against cars with engines ranging in size from 300 to 360 cubic-inches. The Toyota engine produces substantially less horsepower than the competitors (approximately 450 hp for the Toyota vs. 600+ hp for the V8 powered cars), yet the Celica’s excellent downforce, high-speed stability and effective use of advanced construction technology helped make it the class of the field.
