2013 Toyota Celica Review Pictures
The 2013
Celica is a 2-door, 4-passenger family coupe, or sports coupe, available
in 4 trims, ranging from the GT to the GTS Action Package. Its closest
competitors include the Acura RSX, the Honda Civic Si, and the Volkswagen
New Beetle. Celica GT-S' combination of Variable Valve Timing with
intelligence and high-lift cams is going to make all the difference.
This is true performance. VVTL-i, or "Variable Valve Timing with Lift
and intelligence," optimizes engine breathing by adjusting intake
valve timing as engine speed and load vary. When the engine reaches
6,000 rpm, high-lift cams take over and the power curve really spikes.
Much of the credit's due to the VVTL-i system incorporated in the
GT-S 1.8-liter double overhead cam (DOHC) powerplant. This technology
helps produce 180 horsepower - 100 horsepower per liter of displacement
- giving the GT-S one of the highest specific output engines on the
planet.
Upon introduction, the GT is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4,
140-horsepower engine that achieves 27-mpg in the city and 33-mpg
on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard,
and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The
GTS Action Package is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 180-horsepower
engine that achieves 23-mpg in the city and 32-mpg on the highway.
A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed
automatic transmission is optional. The 2013 Celica is a carryover
from 2003. 2013 Toyota Celica GT comes with a 1.8-liter double overhead
cam (DOHC) 16-valve 4-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence
(VVT-i) engine. VVTL-i is why the Celica GT-S' engine breathes easier.
