It began in 1978 as a longer, six-cylinder version of the Celica and became a model of its own in 1986. The fourth generation, sold from 1993 to 2002, is the famous one: its twin-turbo 2JZ straight-six takes far more power than it left the factory with, and a starring role in The Fast and the Furious did the rest. The name came back in 2019 on a car developed with BMW.
