1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo emerged during an era when Japanese manufacturers were pushing compact performance to new levels. Using the fourth-generation EP82 version as its starting point, the GT Turbo was designed primarily for the domestic Japanese market, where demand for lightweight, high‑output hatchbacks was growing rapidly. Toyota positioned the Starlet GT Turbo as a small but serious performance car, combining everyday usability with motorsport‑inspired engineering.

Underhood, Toyota’s 1.3‑liter 4E‑FTE turbocharged inline‑four produced approximately 133 horsepower when new.. Standard equipment included an intercooler, sport‑tuned suspension, disc brakes, and 14‑inch lightweight alloy wheels. Inside, the GT Turbo featured sport seats, a tachometer, and a driver‑focused layout. Its low curb weight and strong aftermarket support made it a popular performance hatch.

Finished in black with a black cloth interior featuring patterned seat inserts and matching door panel upholstery, this right-hand-drive Starlet GT Turbo is optioned with a 4-speed automatic transaxle and shows less than 53k kilometers. The seller reports purchasing the vehicle in August 2025 at which point the oil and filter were changed.

This 1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo is now offered with import records and a clean New Jersey title in the seller's name.
