MK1
( 1979-81 )
In 1970,
when the first Celica was introduced into the Japanese auto market. Toyota, known for its reliable, basic transportation,
felt that its position was strong enough for it to offer its first sporty model. The Japanese economy was strengthening, and
with it, the desire to drive something more exciting than the traditional, spartan Japanese automobile. This new attitude
by Toyota was reflected first in 1967, with the 2000GT, a swoopy sports car built for Toyota by Yamaha. Featured in
a contemporary James Bond film, the 2000GT, with its DOHC inline-6, would later become the inspiration for the Supra (the
2000GT name was also used on later Japanese Celicas and Supras) . As a sidenote, the legendary Datsun 240Z appeared in the
same time frame, and may actually have been designed on the same concept as the 2000GT.
