8th Gen Celica, You decide! Options

[BloodyStupidDave...]

Okay, a little diversion...

Someone posted a thread on another Celica forum and I thought I would do the same here. If you were lead designer for the Celica department at Toyota, how would you style the 8th Gen celica?

The rules:
* You may only post in this thread if you include an illustration in your post. Even if you are only replying to someone else.
* No duplicate images. You may modify someone elses image to illustrate your point.
* No bending of the rules (that includes trivial changes to an image just so you can post a reply)
* Anything goes (No judgements on quality of ideas or quality of draftsman skills, please)
* Its just for fun

Okay, to get the ball rolling... I dunno where this came from or even if it is Toyota (probably not). Google found it.



* Mercedes Benz CLK syle headlights for a modern take on the Gen6 look
* Quad Ferrari-shaped afterburner taillights
* Vanquish style rear end, hatch, rear quarters
* Supra style rear vents/scoops
* 6th gen GT4 style mid air intake
* all-wheel drive

Image isnt working for me...

edit: K I see it now. IMO, I think its too exotic looking

oh and Jason, I see you viewing the thread. Don't even talk about your toy car

Is that the Volta?

[azian_advanced]

if the volta (above) comes out, that'll definitely be my next car!

[DeW_H0e_GT]

that's not a volta. the greenhouse looks suspiciously like an fd rx7, as do some other appointments.

i'll have a sketch of my ideas this weekend sometime.

stay tuned.

[CelicaST202]

it is FD3S RX-7

[hurley97]

that would be a Mclaren F1

thats a bit too expensive looking for a Celica

[WannabeGT4]

IMO this is the 8th gen celica:

[Consynx]

at least hurley knew what i meant, lol

but about the volta, i thought it WAS out, just not on this side of the shore, and that it sells for >$100k

well, i was working on a 3d model of a 6gc. and a day before this thread got started i was thinking about what i'd do for an 8gc.

my 6g is rough, but has a slight interior, which i had to gut to make this. which is still pretty rough, but i need to get back to my life right now. so this is "her good side", her butt is ugly at the moment.

basically a 6gen body, wider rear wheel wells, and bigger rear wheels to accentuate the 6g's hips more. slightly longer engine bay. slightly sportier rear-quarter window. i didn't have time to get the lights together right (i'd have them look more like a 6g and less like a old porsche). and i was trying for the nostrils of the ferrari 360.

spec wise i was thinking it'd be cool to re-merge the celica and supra line. have the durable 3.0 longitudinally mounted straight 6 of the supra (available in na or tubro) with options for rwd or awd. the only problem is that toyota would sell so many that the car wouldn't be rare anymore.

[celica3sgte]

A 2 door for sure, similar to an '06 civic body with the 6th gen wide rear end look to it. The front end would be a new style of the 6th gen gt4. Sorta like the 06 camry.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Based on the Echo/Vitz/Yaris.
FWD
Possible lower roof line if affordable
It comes with a new designed 1.6lt turbo ~180hp ~155lb-ft (similar to 4age, but new and redesigned) (maybe vvti)
Sports suspension developed with TRD.
optional 8 speaker sound system with cd player.
Wing/sideskirts/front lip optional.
5 speed manual only
Base model has 1.8 echo motor (7afe, or similar) with vvti
All wheel disk brakes on turbo model and optional on Base
~$18,000 for Turbo
~$15,000 for Base

I think that would be a pretty marketable car. I would buy one in a heart beat. Gives a good option to the SRT-4, but Toyota. As long as they don't build it like a tin can, it should sell well. Even if they built it cheap, it would still sell. The lower roof would help performance, but if it costs more to do I don't think it would be a good idea. If they just offer a sportier Yaris, I'll buy that. No 4 door option of course. That just ruins the models look.

BTW, any plans on the continuation of 3SGTE? Or is it all gonna be AZ and ZZ series from this point on? If so, that's gay.
