The engine with the largest displacement was the 22R in-line four-cylinder with 2347 cc, as used in the facelift (rectangular headlights), including in the Celica GTA "10th anniversary" special model (RA4 # Coupé).Ĭompetitor Nissan was at least one step ahead with the Datsun 280ZX. The Datsun 280 ZX (type code S130 from 1978 to 1983) was available both as a 2-seater and as a 2 + 2 with a 2734 cc six-cylinder and put Toyota Celica under pressure. (JDM brochure Celica XX 1978: left MA45, right MA46)Īfter the introduction of the TA / RA40 series, Toyota started developing the extended Celica. The wheelbase grew from 2500 mm (98.5 inches) to 2630 mm (103.5 inches). (In principle, the L model could only be distinguished by the wheel size and the rim design of S and G) In Japan, the Multiply-Choise system remained true and three trim levels (L, S, G) were offered with two engines, 2 liters and 2.6 liters To express this in the type designation, the model was called Celica XX (double X means large). Type code MA45, MA55 (JDM): M-EU six-cylinder machine (OHC) with 1,988 ccm (125 SAE-PS at 6000 rpm) was the further development of the M engine presented in 1965 in the Crown MS4. The JDM model was sold in Japan for tax reasons and was available in all equipment variants. There were almost no visual differences from MA45 to MA46. The MA46 had a 2.6 sign in the bottom left of the T-grill. Another difference could be seen from the equipment, the G model had 195/70 HR14 tires, while S and L had to make do with 185/70 HR14 and clumsy rim design. (extensive equipment, automatic as an option) Model maintenance from August 1980 to July 1981 received the type code MA55. Type code MA46 (JDM): Almost identical vehicle to MA45 but with 4M-EU six-cylinder machine (OHC) with 2563 ccm, 140 SAE-PS at 5400 rpm.
