The 12 Awesome Toyota Road Cars We Want to See Back in Racing Games

This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

My entry for the oddball category.

​

 

Aside from dreaming about road cars (I’d also love to see the Sera, both gens of MR2, and the return of the Caldina GT-Four, and as far as something new to the series, how about a Previa?) , I’d just be happy if they brought in the Gazoo C-HR that raced at Nurburgring as a Gr. 4 car, an FF counterpart to the 86.

 

Minolta!


And Celica:

 

I’d like to see the 6th gen Celica
And my personal car: the
Toyota Altezza/ Lexus IS300

 

How about the WiLL VS? Another wacky one for fans of Darth Vader.

 

The article says the only exception of Toyota road cars is GT86 but what about S-FR?? The car is featured in GTS since launch.

 

The SF-R isn't a road car, it's a concept car.

 

You forgot Chaser, Levin, Mark II, and Soarer.

 

We also think livery gurus would have a field day with it too. Between all the professional drift cars, there’s a huge wave of replicas that could make their way onto the community. We’d give it about 15 seconds before Fujiwara Tofu Shop showed up on one.

In the words of Neil buchannan and anyone of blue Peter. Here's one I made earlier



Here's my fujiwara tofu x toyota gr4 livery

 

All I want is a second-gen Aygo X-Play. :3

But on a more serious note- the Lexus LFA is a must! It already sounded good in GT6 and will sound even better in GTS!
I would also love to see a Yaris GRMN, Tacoma X-Runner '04, Toyota 7 '70 and Toyota Castrol TOM'S SUPRA '00

 

Errrr...... THE best red Toyota is already in the game!

 

Might be an Aston Martin cygnet

 

It’s criminal they didn’t give us the Roomy.

 

Needs more Chaser and/or Mark II...


And for extra VIP goodness, a Century, preferably the V12-powered second-gen.


Also, the AE82 Corolla FX16 GT-S!

 

I owned an AW11 MR2 for a brief time. Wonderful car and the 4AGE is brilliant, second only to the V6 Yamaha under the hood of my first car

 

I put another vote in for the Sera. I owned this one a few years back, and loved it (even though it was severely underpowered, and the glass roof gave me heat stroke, it was still great fun!).





And the original Celica GT-FOUR (ST165) has always been on my dream car list in a video game. The 'standard' model in GT5-GT6 didn't do it justice.

 

The GT-One Road Car needs to come back. That car was a beast on GT2 and 3. And while it's only a concept (at least for now?), the GR Super Sport too.

Also, the pink Vitz.

 

Okay, I don't mind the Mirai, but of all the cars Toyota has made, that?

 

I loved the MR2 in FH2, great ride and great sound. Pretty bummed Turn 10 fails yet again to include all major car brands in their game (after missing VW in FH3). Let's hope for FH4 all troubles with the car manufacturers are ironed out.

Meanwhile, GT:Sport seems to be filling up with Toyota's nicely and Project CARS 2 has a few of them as well.

 

GT's pretty much always had weird, oddball cars in it, which is why we suggested it. Plus, like we said, the i3 needs some competition.

 

7th gen celica, weighed 2400 ibs, had a lotus Elise 190 engine with toyotas Lift cam system. Crazy good handling.

 

Am I the only one who wants the Tacoma X-Runner back?

 

I was going to say the Altezza/IS300 as well. But I'll do my Sportcross/Gita.

Quite a few of my favorite Toyota road cars have been named already. So...I suppose I'll try to find something to add.

Toyota Caldina GT-Four.


Toyota Aristo/Lexus GS (2nd generation)


I'm pretty obsessed with the GS F right now and I don't see any representation in video games right now.

Also bringing back the IS F would be nice. Feels like a forgotten icon for Lexus. The one that started the F performance model.


I know I have more, but I can't think of any off the top of my head right now.

 

Want the mk2 MR2 back myself, as I used to own in IRL. Best handling car I've ever owned but also the worst to work on as regards the engine. Even changing an alternator belt was a nightmare.

None of the game versions have ever managed to put across that light, turn-right-in front end IMO.

 

I always thought the AE111 was a good looking car also.

 

Great car, too. A friend of mine had one, blacktop 4age + 6 speed.

Of course I have to chime in with the ST185

 

I´d like to finally see TS010 in Gran Turismo. One of the best looking Group C cars.

 

I whant a 1981 toyota corona and a 1971 toyota celica
