Toyota Celica GT-S Convertible

(Click to Enlarge)

Introduced in 2000 this convertible would have probably been a more realistic concept to be produced. This concept Celica is based off of the 2000 Celica GT-S, same chassis and engine.

The designer of this Celica must have pushed for it, but sadly it never happened. Imagine how cool it would be to see these on the road.

1999 Toyota Celica Cruising Deck

The Toyota Celica Cruising Deck has the same engine configuration as the GT-S. This concept vehicle has a rear seat built right into the trunk compartment, you may call it a convertible but the designer and owner calls it a "deck". The view must be magnificent and unique, but what happens when it rains, snows?

The trunk space is reconfigured in a trailer, the time and money invested in this project car must have been plentiful. Overall it turned out nice, would be weird to see thousands of these on the road.

The XYR Concept, Reality!

The XYR concept is what we see on the roads today, configuration can be compared to the GT-S with a 1.8L engine which was tuned by Yamaha to 180-190 HP

...One concept that became a reality.

Rod Millen: Ultimate Celica Aka F1 Celica

(Click to Enlarge)

A enthusiasts dream, this "Ultimate Celica" was designed to be a realistically produced concept however being realistic but quite pricy. This "Ultimate Celica" was planned to cost $500,000; The engine was lifted from a 6th generation GT4 and redesigned 7th generation body was thrown on top. Powering this $500k beauty is a over bored 3S-GTE with a Garrett turbocharger, this beast puts out just under 500 HP.

Sad enough to say this car seems to be a no go, as tests concluded by various magazines showed less than expected acceleration times. On top of tests, rumors were abroad that the body of the "Ultimate Celica" was/is extremely fragile. More than likely this car has been built all for show, only the creator of this concept Celica Rod Millen knows for sure.

Also you can note, overseas this concept model was named "F1 Celica". Based on information by magazines and rumors it is more than likely Toyota has no interest in creating this so called "beast" or "F1 Celica".

What really stinks is the time and effort put into this concept.

Bug Eyed Station Wagon: Sixth Generation

This concept Celica is based off of the sixth generation T200 series. Whether its photoshoped or not, you can see part Toyota Camry wagon in there. No other pictures have been linked to this concept, would be neat to see the interior and options it would possibly include.
