Based off the 6th Generation Celica, the ST205 was the most powerful Celica to date (and still is) with a highly tuned 3S-GTE engine and AWD with a new type of suspension, known as Super Strut. This 3rd Generation GT-Four saw some success in motorsport but its career was cut short before it could reach its prime.
The GT-Four name was not brought out of the cupboard again until 2002, when Toyota released the Toyota Caldina GT-Four (known as the ST246). This used an updated version of the 3S-GTE engine found in the Celica GT-Fours (and certain previous Caldina models), and unlike the Celica GT-Fours was a four-door sports wagon, in a similar vein to Subaru's Impreza WRX Wagon. Production of the Caldina GT-Four ended in 2007, and saw the demise of both the 3S-GTE engine and the GT-Four name.
