Forza Horizon 4: One of the two Celicas (Part One)

There are two Toyota Celicas making a comeback in the Series 22 update of Forza Horizon 4. The first one is the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST205, which I've won from the Series 22 Horizon Summer Playlist. Now that I got my hands on it, let's talk about it before driving it.



Based on the 6th generation Celica, the GT-Four is a homologation special that is limited to 2,500 units to comply with the WRC regulations. The ST205 model is the most powerful Celica ever made with the 2.0L 3S-GTE turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 252hp of power while mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Although the Celica did find some success in rallying, its controversy easily overshadowed the Celica's rally success story because of the illegal turbo restrictors that cost them their 1995 Tour de Corse win, therefore Toyota is banned from the WRC a year later.



Controversy aside, let's take the ST205 for a nice drive on the dirty side of Fortune Island to see if it tries to shake off its dirty image, literally.


Job well done. There's nothing else I can say.

Enjoy your new ride!
