Fuelled by recent rumours about the rebirth of the Toyota Celica, BestCarWeb of Japan has released rendered images of what the rebirth Toyota Celica could look like. As a spot of context for the rumours, WRC legend Jari-Matti Latvala entertained the crowd with a demonstration run in a classic Celica GT-Four ST165 during the Shinsiro Rally 2023 in Japan, including a taxi ride for Chairman Akio Toyoda, who is also a skilled rally driver known as Morizo.

Decked in iconic Castrol colours, this 1998 JGTC Toyota Supra is undoubtedly one of the more iconic cars of our generation. If you’re anything like me and have spent some years playing Gran Turismo on the PlayStation, then you probably know this car.
