Toyota Celica '93 Monte-Carlo
Celica GT-4 '93 Monte-Carlo Rally
When the curtain went up on the 1993 World Rally Championships, the '92
title winning Toyota Team of Europe were ready to take on their capable
rivals Lancia, Ford, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and the others, making this
Monte Carlo Rally a very exciting event for motorsports fans. Toyota's
highly sophisticated Celica GT-Four RC, with driver Didier Auriol at the
wheel, showed impressive performance by out-running all competition to
dominate this first round of the season.
Regarded as one of the most technologically advanced and potent rally
racing machines available today, the Celica GT-Four RC is powered by a 2
liter, liquid cooled in-line four cylinder DOHC, turbocharged engine,
capable of yielding 299 HP and 45.9kg/m of torque. This tremendous power
is channeled via 6-speed gearbox to all four wheels. The electronically
controlled torque-splitter distributes 50:50 front/rear power under
normal operations, but is capable of automatically shifting to other
ratios when the power distribution sensor detects a change in road
surface conditions or even driving style. Night running equipment used
during Monte Carlo Rally included quadruple spot-lamps plus cornering
lamps that made the racer look even more massive. |
