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

There are two Toyota Celicas making a comeback in the Series 22 update of Forza Horizon 4. The last one is the Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185, which I've won from the Series 22 Horizon Winter Playlist. Now that I got my hands on it, let's talk about it before driving it.



The 5th-generation Toyota Celica was launched in 1989 and it is popularized by the Japanese TV commercials featuring comedian Eddie Murphy, bearing the "WANTED: NEW CELICA" slogan on it. In 1991, they've launched a GT-Four RC model, which serves as the homologation-base for Toyota's Group A rally car made to compete at the 1992 World Rally Championship. The GT-Four RC features an improved cooling system courtesy of water-based intercooler, better heat dissipation, improved exhaust system, and metal turbocharger turbines. All of the improvements are capable of pushing the 2.0L turbocharged engine's power output to 235hp.

Only 5,000 Celica GT-Four RCs are sold worldwide with 1,800 of these are sold in Japan.



Having heard stories about the ST185's rally success that gave Toyota their first WRC win, let's move away from the pack and head to LEGO Valley where I'll give this ST185 a minor herculean task to see how capable this WRC-winning machine is.

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

Enjoy your new ride!
