Hotchkis Tuning KNOWS Celica like nobody else!
Perhaps you’ve heard of our first little project…
The first Hotchkis “project” Celica, introduced to the world at the SEMA 2001 show.
“Aggressive alignment settings, adjustable parts everywhere and super sticky tires
make it among the most fun cars we’ve ever driven on a racetrack. With superb
balance and instant communication between the driver and the road, the Hotchkis
Celica can easily put the hurt on far more powerful machinery.”
Sport Compact Car, August 2002 Issue “Celica Bash”
This Celica has graced many magazines and been used for extensive testing. As a result of its
travels and event participations, it currently holds one and shares another handling record of Sport
Compact Car. This vehicle owns the SCC record for the 600ft slalom at 76.9 mph average, which
bested the previous record speed of 73.8 mph, set by a modified MR2. It also shares the SCC
braking distance record of 97ft in a 60-0 stop, which bested the previous record of 105ft. Toss in a
skid pad reading of 1.03g (within .01g of another SCC record) and you’d think we’d be happy
right? Well, we’re not even close to being finished with Celica development! Wait until you see our
new project…
