Toyota SF (Sport Fastback)

Overview

Toyota SF is an abbreviation for "Sport Fastback". It is the general name given to the sport coupe variant available on the Celica platform (T160/A60 based) from 1983 to 1987. This model was presented as a coupe variant following the Celica Supra (A60) lineage but with a lighter, more sporty character. In some markets it was sold under the name "Celica SF".

The 2.0L 3S-GE DOHC engine (128 hp) — one of the most advanced Japanese sport engines of the era. The Yamaha co-developed 4A-GE 1.6L DOHC (128 hp) gives a lighter, more agile driving character. T-VIS (Toyota Variable Induction System) in the 3S-GE ensures a wide power band. Both choices created perfect pairings for sport intent.

In Azerbaijan, the Toyota SF is an extremely rare find. As Celica/Supra collector interest has increased, the value of this model has also risen. 3S-GE engine parts can be sourced from MR2/Altezza/Corolla AE networks, and 4A-GE parts from the Corolla Levin/Trueno network. Body-specific parts require Japanese import resources.
