The Celica and Corolla were previously in Forza Horizon 3 and the MR2s were previously in Forza Motorsport 6. The MR2 has been among the top 100 most requested cars in the forum community wish lists thread after previous requested models were satisfied. With these four cars, the game’s search menus list a total of 696 models in the game menus (695 for Horizon Promo).
The MR2 GT is a B-class car while the other three are D-class. MR2 GT comes with Aftermarket body part options, and the Celica has a widebody kit as well as Street level body parts from Toyota.
The cars were profiled in the Update 23 article.
1973 Toyota Corolla SR5
In 1970, Toyota’s second generation of Corollas arrived and by 1973 that included the SR5 coupe model, which was only made in ’73 and ‘74. Sold in Japan as the Corolla Levin, the SR5 was intended to expand Toyota’s reach into new markets, which explains its unusual-at-the-time design: metal fender flares, unique front struts and springs, and a thicker front sway bar. It sported a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with five-speed transmission. Complete the Seasonal Championship “The Corolla Express” to unlock.
1974 Toyota Celica GT
The Celica GT was a JDM legend that did much to pioneer the international market for Japanese imports. It was a direct descendant and much more accessible version of the 2000GT and at the time was comparable to the Mustang, which had been reduced in size significantly in recent years. That being said, the Celica only weighed about 2,200lbs, while the Mustang quickly moved on to bigger and heavier engines. The Celica housed a 2.0L four-cylinder that put out 90 hp (versus the Mustang’s 105 hp). Complete 50% of the Spring Playlist to unlock.
1989 Toyota MR2 SC
Dubbed a “budget exotic car”, the Mister Two was Toyota’s mid-engine entry in the late 80’s. It featured the familiar 4A-GE engine found in the AE86; a 16-valve, twin-cam 1.6-liter inline-four and in 1989, a supercharger that bumped it up to 145 hp and shaved a second off of it’s 0-60 time. That supercharger required certain aspects of the MR2, such as the springs and wheels, to be reinforced, plus the addition of raised vents on the engine cover.

1995 Toyota MR2 GT
In 1991, the MR2 received a full redesign that made it sportier and more Ferrari-like in appearance. By ‘95, due to rising prices and insurance premiums, it was ending its production run, making this model especially prized by collectors. The GT featured a 2.0 L 200 hp five-speed engine mounted behind the seats that put it on equal footing with cars like the Ferrari 348. The MR2 name would make its return when Toyota attached it to the Spyder convertible. Complete the Seasonal Championship “Track Toyotas” to unlock.
