Toyota Celica XX
Encyclopedia
The Celica XX is the Japanese domestic market name of the MKI and MKII Toyota Celica Supra. It was offered in Japan
during the years 1978-1986, with it being redesigned in 1981. The Supra was sold as the Celica XX only in Japan at Japanese dealership sales channels called Toyota Corolla Store , as elsewhere it was sold as the Celica Supra, although they remain popular as grey imports to New Zealand
.
The 2000GT was the flagship model of the XX range. Featuring the smaller 2.0 litre 6 cylinder DOHC 24 valve 1G-EU, Yamaha took the base 1G-EU and improved it, resulting in the 1G-GEU significantly upping the output of the engine, which also served in the 1985 Toyota Soarer
. The smaller capacity engine meant taxes were less than the bigger 5M-GEU of the 2800GT. 1G-GEU made 160 PS (118 kW) at 6400 rpm.
The 2800GT was the most powerful of the range, featuring the 2.8 litre 6 cylinder DOHC 5M-GEU making 175 PS (129 kW) at 5,600 rpm.
The 2000G/S with M-TEU with intercooler made 160 PS (118 kW) at 5400 rpm, as much as the 1G-GEU, but made more torque lower down the rev range, 23.5 m·kgf
(230 N·m
at 3000 rpm.
The lower range models, being 2000G/S, were the least powerful, featuring the 1G-EU, which made 125 PS (92 kW) at 5,400 rpm. They also lacked a lot of features found on other models in a effort to lower cost.
