Toyota is preparing the new Celica , which will be released under the name Celica Sport and will be four-wheel drive. Mechanically, it will be equipped with the new 2,000 cc turbo G20E engine , with an output of up to 400 horsepower, with the engine being either a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.
Gazoo Racing Marketing Director Mikio Hayashi said:
The 1.6-liter engine [used in the GR Yaris], for example, cannot meet emissions regulations. So we have to look at the possibility of a 2.0-liter.
We are thinking about different sizes, but we are not at a stage where we can tell you exactly what size it is. Nothing has been decided yet on whether it will be a standard hybrid or a plug-in hybrid system.
We continue to develop the new 2.0-liter engine. We have high expectations. We can't give a timeline, but we can say that we are making steady progress.
