Back from the ashes:
The Electric Celica
What began as a 12-year-old’s dream to transform a worn-out Celica into an electric machine became a reality with the original build. Although that first chapter ended when the car was wrecked beyond repair, the story was far from over.
Same model. Same legacy.
More power.
Now driven by our Systems Control Module 2 (SCM2) and its advanced thermal management system, this build is engineered to perform under pressure and in real-world conditions—all while retaining a 5-speed manual transmission for a truly connected driving experience.
350 horsepower. 750 lb-ft of torque.
The Electric Celica isn’t just back—it’s
on another level.
