The One-of-One Celica Speedster Concept Car!
The Toyota Celica is an automobile produced by Toyota from 1970 until 2006. The Celica name derives from the Latin word coelica meaning heavenly or celestial.
The fifth-generation Celica was introduced in September 1989 for the 1990 model year. The Celica received new Super Round organic styling, upgraded wheels and tires, more powerful GT-Four (All-Trac Turbo in the U.S.) with better cooling system, and for the Japanese market only, the four-wheel steering (4WS) models. Toyota engineers claimed that the round styling and lack of straight edges increased strength without adding weight.
What our award winning presenter Shervin Nakhjavani is showcasing today it's the 1990 Toyota Celica tsunami by ASC. This is a speedster version of the 5th generation Celica by the American Sunroof Corporation who made the official convertible version of the car. The Tsunami features a removable panel behind the front seats that tuned it into an open 4-seater though with the roof in place it only seated the driver and front passenger.
