Through 7 generations, the Celica has gone through many revisions and design forks. The best known of these forks was the Celica Supra "Ferrari Killer" offshoot. Others include a 4 wheel drive turbocharged GT mostly seen in the 5th Generation between 1991 and 1994, a hatchback, and a convertible GT variation common in many generations, but then dropped from the 2000-2003 line.
In racing the Celica is known for its Rally racing prowess, and it is well thought of among the street racer as an easily customizable and easily controllable speed machine.
