FURIA and FORMULA RETRO Series [ GUISVAL ]
[...]
"For some reason (maybe the appearance of the Italian 1:43 models by Bburago), Guisval launched in 1984 a brand new series between “Fuego” (1:36) and “Campeón” (1:64).
The new series was named “Furia” and these toys were clearly more simplistic than “Escorpión” or “Fuego”.
[...]
"For the first “Furia” wave the available models were:
-Porsche 935
-Lancia Beta
-Toyota Celica
-Ferrari BB512
Each model was available in several colours (at least 3) and there were three different decals for each model, that means, the decals from the Ferrari, (...) would only fit in the Ferrari."
[...]
"It is also interesting to mention, that the same cars were available with and without a pull-back motor.
The series with motor were named “Formula Retro” and available from 1985."

Toyota Celica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Toyota Celica (Japanese: トヨタ セリカ Toyota Serika) /ˈsɛlɪkə/ or /sɛˈliːkə/ is an automobile produced by Toyota from 1970 to 2006.
The Celica name derives from the Latin word coelica meaning "heavenly" or "celestial".
In Japan, the Celica was exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships Toyota Corolla Store.
Throughout its life span the Celica has been powered by various four-cylinder engines.
The most significant change occurred in August 1985, when the car's drive layout was changed from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive.
During the first three generations, American market Celicas were powered by various versions of Toyota's R series engines.
The four-wheel drive turbocharged model called GT-Four worldwide (All-Trac Turbo in the US) was produced from 1986 to 1999.
Variable valve timing came in certain Japanese models starting from December 1997, and became standard in all models from model year 2000.
Through seven generations, the model has gone through many revisions. It has also spawned design forks that were spun off to become separate models, including the Toyota Celica Supra (later Toyota Supra). The Celica was available as notchback and liftback coupes, as well as a convertible."
[...]
Third generation (A60; 1981–1985)
"August 1981 saw the introduction of the third-generation Celica. The car was initially available in notchback coupe and liftback forms with many buyers preferring the liftback."
(...)
"Fuel injection became standard on all North American Celicas started from August 1982, therefore the 22R engine became 22R-E (or 22R-EC with California emissions equipment).
In August 1982, Toyota added the GT-S model to the North American market to re-inject the sports image that Celica had lost as it grew larger and heavier with each subsequent model. The GT-S included larger 14x7" wheels and 225/60HR14 tires, fender flares, independent rear suspension, a sports interior including special seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob.
Most of these came from the Supra."
(...)
"The Celica was facelifted in August 1983 for the 1984 model year. The revision included fully retractable headlights, restyled grille, and airdam. The rear combination lamps were also revised. The Japanese Celica 1600 GT got new 4A-GE engine, and the 1600 GT-R also powered by the same motor was introduced. Another new model was the turbocharged 1800 GT-TR.
The GT-S convertible, built by American Sunroof Company (ASC) in California, was originally released in a limited 200 units in 1984. 4,248 more were built for the 1985 model year."
