The rear of that car is as delivered from the factory here in Australia. Perhaps it is different in Europe, but they've always been called GT Fours in Australia. I've owned two myself (an ST185 and an ST205).

My list would be.

1. 99 Subaru WRC
2. Alpine A110
3. Escort Mk1
4. Delta Integrale

It actually seems that we are both right. Consulting the 1993 FIA "Yellow Book", the car is listed with two different names. Homologation no. A/N 5451, Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD/Toyota Celica 2000 GT-Four RC (ST185).
The reason for listing the car with two names could be that identical models produced in Australia (and possibly also USA?) are homologated with their "domestic" names. The cars produced in Japan - which are also the cars marketed and sold in Europe - is called Celica Turbo 4WD (dull name btw.) The factory Gr. A rally cars, built and numbered by TTE, should then be Turbo 4WD`s.

It really is a question of minor details, I admit that, but interesting nonetheless. I have rallied all three Celicas + the Corolla WRC during my career, and they have one thing in common. They are all built like tanks, IMO a great asset when it comes to rally cars.

Certainly is interesting :)

BTW I don't think that the Celica was ever made in Australia.

1. Citroen Xsara kit-car (1999 factory spec)
2. Citroen C4 WRC (2009 spec)
3. Citroen Xsara WRC
4. Lancia Delta S4

seems like the GT-Four RC`s export version is called Carlos Sainz Limited Edition.

even though 4 would not be enough, I'll add mine and show my bias!!!!

Ford RS200 evo
Ford Escort RS Cosworth (not WRC, that front bumper is ugly!)
Ford Escort RS1800
Fiat 124 Spider



If I could afford those 4 then I could also afford these!

Trabant P 800 RS
Lancia Stratos,
Porsche 911
Lancia Integrale
Ford Escort RS1600
Lotus Cortinas, mk1 and 2
Audi Quattro
Toyota Corolla WRC
Toyota GT-Four
Ford Falcon GTHO phase 4 (as rallied by Hoddo)

and so on.......
