The meaning is the same as in English (peregrine falcon).
The third-generation Tercel used the Starlet platform that had switched to a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout earlier in October 1984. The wheelbase was 2,380 mm, or 50 mm shorter than that of the previous model. The engine was no longer placed lengthwise but was mounted transversely, and the MacPherson strut rear suspension was replaced with a trailing twist beam system. The 3-door model featured sporty fastback styling, whereas the 5-door model had a practical, wagon-like look with an extended roof. The sporty version of the 3-door model came with retractable headlamps.
The choice of power units included 4-cylinder SOHC 1.3- and 1.5-liter gasoline engines and a 1.5-liter turbo diesel (1N-T). The transmission could be chosen from 4- and 5-speed manual and 3-speed automatic. The GP turbo model with an intercooled turbocharged 3E-T engine was introduced in September 1986. The engine adopted a 2-mode turbo charger to produce a net output of 97 PS in the low mode and 110 PS in the standard mode (which was further enhanced to 115 PS/17.5 kgm in May 1988). The EFI 3E-E engine, which became available at the same time as the 3E-T, produced 88 PS/12.2 kgm. The GP turbo model came with 4-wheel disc brakes, and an electronically controlled suspension (TEMS) was made available.
