When you say a fast Toyota, most people tend to imagine the Supra. I think most viewers of this video would instead say Celica GT-Four. I think it's so much cooler than the Supra. Maybe that's just the rally fan in me speaking. Or the guy who doesn't want the same car that everyone wants. Either way, Celica GT-Four > Yaris GR >>> any Supra. Happy to see Toyota back in rallying, hoping to see them steal the title back from Hyundai.
I'm obsessed with this car, in the Castrol livery. It's beautiful. When I hear the word "Rally" I see this car. The only other car on the same level of beauty is the Alitalia livery Lancia Stratos. I guess you could add the Lancia Delta HF Integrale with Martini Racing livery. Does that ring a bell?
To be frank the restrictor thing was a gateway for cheating. In practice those cars had bigger engines than Group B, but much smaller turbos. Putting a restrictor instead of enforcing a unified turbo spec (like they do now) allowed to putting any turbo you wanted, you just had to put that piece there to restrict the intake. If you look at WRCs of the period that teams and pilots preserve, all can go way higher than 300HP with those turbos. I've heard the Imp '95 goes to 365HP without said restrictor.
@3213232 1231223 yeah but point being made is the Toyota Celica was good enough they didn't have to cheat they could have still had a very good chance win the title . So they really messed up twice
I am not sure which of the Group A cars is the best looking, but this one definitely looks the most focussed in its design - not a four door, low slung, purposeful.
No one likes a cheat! Solid car my friend had one, once tuned seriously capable however it was a bit skitty on the limit and cramped inside. I much prefer driving 96 STI.
