6th Generation Celicas

1994 - 1999

 The 6th Generation Toyota Celica was regarded by many enthusiasts as the best to date, and some will prefer its smooth lines compared to the new, more angular generation 7 car.  

USA Gen 6 Celicas

G6 cars were available in the USA from 1994 with a choice of two engines.  The lower spec car - the ST - used the 1.8 litre double overhead cam 1.8 litre 7A-FE engine and was discontinued in the USA in 1997.  The more powerful GT used the 5S-FE engine as fitted to the 2.2 litre MR2 of the time.  Confusingly, the car is generically known as the ST204 and you'll find that if you have a GT then the chassis number will include the code ST204.  However, the chassis number on ST models will include the code AT200.

Celica ST04 Specifications

Specifications for the two models of the Gen6 Celica are:-

Celica ST - (AT204) - 7AFE Engine

* Note that In 1996 and 1997 the the ST models engines were reduced in output to 105bhp @ 5200 rpm and had correspondingly lower torque outputs.

**  in California, emissions regulations resulted in a lower spec for the 2.2 litre engine.

Other Specifications

Outside of the USA, Gen 6 Celicas were normally fitted with the 2.0 litre 3S Engine range (as were MR2s of the time).  This range includes the 3S-FE engine, the more powerful  3S-GE and the very potent turbocharged version of the latter - the 3S-GTE.

 Celica GT-4

The GT4 Celica featured four wheel drive and the 3S-GTE engine which produced over 250 bhp.  These cars are still highly sought after today as they were relatively rare, and offer very good handling combined with lots of power.  GT4s are somewhat heavier than the FWD cars at a little over 1400Kg, but the extra power gives them a 0-60 time of just over 6 seconds.  Insurance groups for GT4 cars is 17.

Gen 6 Celica Cabriolet

The 6th generation convertibles were fitted with the 3S-GE engine and weighed around 1300Kg.  Their 0-60 time is about 8.5 seconds, and they get an insurance group rating of 16.
