It has often been criticized for Toyota to build vehicles that boring, without soul. And often, it was deserved.

Except that in the course of its 80 years of existence, Toyota has also built vehicles sensational, models that have marked the automotive history. Afraid of nothing, we decided to establish our own top 10 Toyota vehicles of the highlights.

It is gone!

10. Toyota Hilux

We do know that very few in North America, but elsewhere in the world, the Hilux has gained a reputation for invincibility. Going to do a tour in central America and you will find hundreds, all most amochés each other. But they always drive!

The show british Top Gear had done a story where she tried to kill a Hilux. Even after having been thrown to the sea and to have placed at the top of a building that was then blown up, the truck would always start!

9. Toyota Prius

Notable, the Toyota Prius? Certainly! With the Prius, Toyota has put hybrid technology on the map. At the turn of the years 2000, it was the car green by excellence, the one that all the stars wanted to lead. Take a trip to Los Angeles and try to count the Prius on the road, just to see.

8. Toyota Celica

The first generation of the Toyota Celica has marked the 70’s. At a time when Muscle Cars americans were still the masters of our roads, Toyota stood out by offering a smaller vehicle, but not less fun to drive. The name Celica remained at Toyota until 2006.

7. Toyota 86

Formerly marketed under the banner of Scion, the FR-S has become the Toyota 86 in North America. Developed in partnership with Subaru, this small car is rear-wheel drive sports is one of the vehicles the most fun to drive on the market at this time. A classic in the making!

6. Toyota MR2

A car two-seater with a mid-engine, it is far from boring. And yet, the MR2 is a Toyota! The second generation of the model (1989-1999) remains, in our opinion, more impressive.

5. Toyota Supra

The Supra is another excellent example of the know-how of Toyota sports cars. The fourth generation (1993-2002) of the vehicle that we particularly like, especially in his version of the twin-turbo 320 horses!

4. Toyota Corolla AE86

Yes, this sublime car bears the name Corolla! A true legend in the world of drifting, the AE86 deserves, indeed, its place among the Toyota, the most significant of all time. Also, for the little story, the Toyota 86 has just been named in honour of the AE86.

3. Lexus LFA

Marketed under the luxury division Lexus, the LFA 2012 is considered as one of the sports cars the most spectacular of his era. Built in 500 small pieces, the LFA is powered by a V10 engine of 4.8 liters.

2. Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Unlike the LFA, the Land Cruiser is not intended for race tracks, but the dirt roads. It is one of the best off road vehicles ever built, alongside legends such as the Jeep Wrangler and the Land Rover Defender.

1. Toyota 2000GT

No ambiguity here, the 2000GT is definitely the Toyota the most significant of the story. Built from 1967 to 1970, she has proven to the world that the Japanese were able to develop the sports car worthy of the name. Today, a 20000GT in good condition can be worth over a million dollars.
