Modified Toyota Celica With 700-HP Reaches 325Km/h — Video Included

The video below allows you see what it’s like going over 200 miles per hour (320km/h). The Fensport modified Toyota Celica GT4 recorded a top speed of 202.2 mph (325km/h) on the 21st of November at an airfield near Ipswich in the UK.

The man driving was Adrian Smith and he controlled the heavily modified Celica to the finish line.

This Celica GT4 is no ordinary model, in fact it has a highly modified 2.1-litre turbocharged engine with 700-horsepower and all-wheel-drive.

“I started fine. I got wheel spin on the slippery start in the first three gears, but once in 4th the car settled nicely,” said Smith. “At around 180 MPH a crosswind again started to move the car off-line. However, I kept my foot in and thankfully the car stayed straight and the wind subdued.”

“I checked the speed and it was 201, then 202! I was thinking ‘Yes it is going to do 205/206,’ but then there was a tiny misfire and the speed dropped to 201 again. By then it was time to brake. I had done 202.22 MPH, what an amazing feeling.”

The 202.2mph time was achieved in about 1.1 miles from a standing start.
