Toyota updated the seventh generation of the Celica in 2002 when it performed a few visual upgrades for the already appealing coupe.

In January 1999, Toyota unveiled an exciting-looking coupe named XYR at the Detroit Motor Show, and soon after, it launched the production version of it, the seventh generation of the Celica.

It was one of the best sport-compact coupe vehicles from its era, with huge success due to its World Rally Championship titles. The street version though was a different story.

The 1990 Toyota Celica will remain in history as one of the most successful rally-cars ever made, with over 30 WRC wins and world titles for the team or its drivers.
