About the Toyota Celica 6th Gen

The Toyota Celica, manufactured globally from 1994 until 1999 in its sixth-generation form, is widely celebrated as the "baby Supra" due to its distinctive quad-headlight fascia and smooth, muscular curves. Built on the T200 chassis, this generation represents a dual identity in Australia: a stylish, reliable cruiser in its front-wheel-drive forms and a rally-bred monster in its all-wheel-drive flagship. In the 2026 Australian market, the sixth-gen Celica has moved beyond its "P-plater" roots to become a definitive hero of the 90s JDM revival, with the local buyer pool now consisting of serious collectors and track-day enthusiasts who frequently dominate roll racing nights and hill climbs like the Rob Roy Revival. Desirability has reached a fever pitch in 2026 following the widespread hype for the all-new 2027 GR Celica, which has redirected intense attention toward the original ST205 GT-Four as the spiritual ancestor of Toyota’s modern AWD performance era. While the Australian-delivered ST204 SX and ZR models—and the final-run SX-R—remain popular and accessible due to their bulletproof 2.2-litre 5S-FE engines, they are increasingly being used as bases for high-end "restomods" involving 3S-GE Beams swaps. Consequently, the market value of the sixth-gen Celica in Australia has seen a significant split; while high-kilometre naturally aspirated models offer excellent value for budget-conscious fans, the genuine ST205 GT-Four Group A Rallye—of which only 77 were officially delivered to Australia—has ascended into the realm of blue-chip investments, with pristine, numbered examples now being hoarded by investors as prices continue to climb toward record territory.
