The GT-Four is a turbo-charged, four wheel drive, coupé style sports car produced by Toyota, and is a derivative of the Celica range. Confusingly, it is not known as the GT-Four in all markets. In the US, it goes by the name of All-Trac. In Europe, it is badged 4WD Turbo. Other markets know it by the name GT-Four - We use GT4 as shorthand.

This Wiki is run by staff and members of the GT4 Drivers Club http://www.gt4dc.co.uk
  
The GT4 hails from the days of rallying when manufacturers were required to produce road going versions of their Rally cars (In actuality the reverse is true. Manufacturers had to produce their rally cars from their road going variants. Either way the end result is the same :-)

The purpose of this venture is to further the knowledge and enjoyment of the GT-Four
  
Model runs were quite limited, which probably explains why you are reading this part of the FAQ although the GT4 has been in production in various guises since 1987 and has been successfully rallied by Toyota and privateers for many years.
 
  
All variants feature turbo charged engines and full time 4WD 5 speed transmissions
 
In the later Caldina variants the transmission is automatic and all Celica variants use a manual transmission
 
  
There have been 5 generations of the GF-Four dynasty to date. In chronological order these are
