RACING INSPIRED THIS CAR. NOW IT’S RETURNING THE FAVOR.
With moves that were born on the track, it will have you thinking you were, too. The 2003 Toyota Celica boasts
precise handling and quick reflexes. Of course there’s the strength part, too. The GT-S is powered by a 1.8-
liter VVTL-i engine that delivers 180 hp—100 hp per liter. Which means commanding the 6-speed manual
or 4-speed Sportshift automatic transmission will accelerate your spirit in no time at all. Another model that
corners with authority is the GT. It too has an aggressive stance inspired by Indy cars. Add the Action Package
to either model and you’ll also flaunt rocker panels, a rear wing spoiler and distinctively styled aero front and
rear bumpers. A few minutes in the driver’s seat might just inspire you to hire a pit crew.
GT-S shown in Solar Yellow with available Action Package and 16” aluminum alloy wheels.

4The Toyota driver, front passenger and front seat-mounted side-impact air bags are Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS). The driver and front passenger air bags are designed to inflate in a severe
frontal collision. The side-impact air bags are designed to inflate in severe side-impact collisions. In all other accidents, the air bags will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying air bag,
always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible from the air bag modules and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an air bag or around the seat-
back. Do not use rearward-facing child seats in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying air bag SRS may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further instructions.
5Requires power moonroof.
