Brands like Ford and Acura have had great success recently bringing back cars that had been discontinued. Toyota could be looking to go in the same direction. Reports are claiming that the automaker plans to revive their own Celica, out of production since 2006.
goes back in time to reflect on the history of the Celica. When the Celica was first produced in 1970, it was a hardtop coupe. In the second generation, though, Toyota introduced coupe and liftback versions of the car.
The first Celica convertible was introduced in 1984, and 1999 saw the introduction of the seventh-gen Celica, again a coupe, which would turn out to be the final generation for the model.
In 2004, Toyota announced that it would be halting production of the Celica due to low sales, and production stopped in 2006. The
reports that Toyota is working on a new type of combustion engine that is fueled by hydrogen. The hydrogen combustion engine is a modified version of a regular combustion engine, but it’s better for constant load use than traditional car engines.
This new hydrogen engine is expected to be what powers the rumored new Celica. A rendering of the modern Celica shows it being a two-door with a high belt line and low top that give it a sports car-type look. Toyota wants to sell 1 million vehicles with alternative power by 2030, so making a hydrogen-powered Celica will help the company achieve that goal.
