The
7th and final generation Toyota Celica went into production
in 2000. The Celica came in two different models. The ZZT230
powered by an economical 1.8 L 4-cylinder 140 hp 1ZZ-FE engine
and the ZZT231 powered by a higher-performance 1.8 L 4-cylinder
180 hp (191 hp in Europe and Japan) 2ZZ-GE version, co-developed
with Yamaha. Both of these engines featured Toyota's signature
VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) system, which
continuously varies the camshaft timing.
The different versions of the Celica were sold under different
names depending on the market. In the USA and Canada the base
model was called Celica GT, and the higher performance model
the Celica GT-S. In Europe the base car was named simply the
1.8 VVT-i, while the top spec car went by the name of Celica
1.8 VVTL-i or T-Sport. Japan referred to the two cars as the
SS-1 and SS-2 models. While in Australia the cars were called
the Celica SX and Celica ZR.
Due to declining sales production of the Toyota Celica ended
in 2006, a full 36 years after the first generation Celica was
introduced.
