Introduced in 1992, the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 was the most successful evolution of the Celica rally lineage. Building on the foundation laid by the ST165, it featured improved aerodynamics, enhanced suspension geometry, and a more refined version of the turbocharged 3S-GTE engine. With drivers like Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen behind the wheel, the ST185 earned Toyota a dominant reputation in early 1990s WRC competition.
The ST185 featured a water-to-air intercooler system and strengthened drivetrain, improving heat management and durability under rally stress. Toyota Motorsport also introduced subtle aero tweaks for better stability at high speed.
The ST185 became a championship-winning weapon in both driver and team hands, blending performance and reliability across gravel, tarmac, and endurance rallies.
The ST185 was balanced and grippy, with excellent traction from its AWD system and forgiving handling over rough terrain. Drivers praised its predictability and resilience in long events. While not the sharpest car on twisty tarmac, it was a benchmark in rougher rallies.
