"Celica" is Spanish for "celestial" or "heavenly."
The two available engines were both 2-liter DOHC 16-valve units, with either "high-mecha" or sports twin-cam mechanisms and producing 140 PS and 180 PS, respectively. The top-end model adopted the newly-developed super strut suspension, enabling sharp steering responses and steady road-holding performance that won high acclaim. In February 1994, 2,100 units of the WRC-homologated GT-Four were released specifically for the Japanese market.
With regard to the third-generation convertible released in September 1994, the hydraulic top of the preceding model was replaced with an electric-powered one. The storage space was made smaller to give more room to the rear cabin, which became as spacious as that of the coupé.
