FactThe Japan-only 2000GT paired its twin-cam with a Porsche-type synchromesh five-speed and claimed 200 km/h.
The T100-series Corona was introduced on 31 August 1973 as two- and four-door sedans, a two-door hardtop coupé (T110) and a station wagon, with T120 codes used for late Japanese models with TTC-C emissions engines. It kept rear-wheel drive with 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0-litre engines, and North America used the 2.2-litre 20R; the UK knew it as the Toyota 2000. Japan alone had the 2000GT sedan and hardtop with the Yamaha-headed 18R-G twin-cam. Sales grew after the 1973 oil crisis, and it was the last Corona offered as a two-door sedan.

The tenth Corona, built for Japan from January 1996 to December 2001, was the last to carry the Corona name there; its automatic offered Normal, ECT PWR and ECT MANU modes.
T190s assembled in Thames, New Zealand got their own spring and damper settings, developed by racer Chris Amon.
To mark 10 million Coronas sold, Toyota built 500 Corona Super Roomys in 1990, each with 210 mm more wheelbase.
In 1983 this front-wheel-drive Corona liftback carried the first digital color LCD gauge cluster fitted to any Japanese car.
This Corona sedan outlived its own model run by over a decade, staying in Japanese taxi production until April 1998.
On this Corona the American engine changed mid-generation, swapping the 20R shared with the Celica for the 22R after the 1981 facelift.
The Japan-only 2000GT paired its twin-cam with a Porsche-type synchromesh five-speed and claimed 200 km/h.
Only 2,222 units of the 1600GT were built in 13 months, a Yamaha twin-cam head grafted on as a budget 2000GT.
Toyota styled this Corona's front end after the 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird, exporting it as the Tiara after the Crown flopped in America.
The first Corona was patched together from cut-down Crown and Master body panels after a hurried restyle.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
