2.4 22R-E Coupe (US)

A60 · 1982–1985RWD

The notchback coupe of the US third-generation Celica ran from 1982 to 1985 with the fuel-injected 2.4-litre 22R-E four-cylinder, rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. It shared its engine with the liftback and appealed to buyers who wanted the traditional coupe roofline.

STORY

The Celica was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1970, alongside the Carina, and went on sale in Japan that December. The name comes from the Latin coelica, meaning heavenly. The first generation, coded A20 and A30, offered 1.4 to 2.2 litre engines, including the twin-cam 1.6 litre 2T-G. The all-wheel-drive GT-Four arrived in Japan in October 1986 on the ST165, and the line moved through seven generations to the T230 of 1999. The last Celica was built on 21 April 2006.
