Toyota started out as a division of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, a company that made textile looms. I think the new Scion series made by Toyota may be inspired by the appearance of these textile looms. Seriously though, Toyota has been around since 1933, and now they are among the most reliable cars in the world. Toyotas tend to be fairly inexpensive, making them popular with younger buyers who want something they can drive fast and modify to their liking. It is a little known fact in the tuner world that adding a massive spoiler to a Toyota will increase the top speed of the car by 200 mph and lower the 1/4 mile time to under 8 seconds. Each sticker also adds 50 hp.

Toyota to Bring Numerous Race Cars at Goodwood Including a 700HP Celica GT4-X and the Lexus LF-A

At next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed that runs from July 3 to 5, Toyota plans to bring a variety of race cars led by the Lexus LF-A that will be making its first appearance on British soil. The V10-powered supercar will be joined by another competition Lexus, the racing IS F that competed along with the LF-A at this year's Nurburgring 24-hour endurance race.

Panasonic Toyota Racing will be back at Goodwood with the TF108, the last F1 Toyota to be designed before FIA introduced its current restrictions on wing sizes and additional aerodynamic elements. Toyota's F1 driver Timo Glock will be present at the event to drive the TF108.

The Toyota Sprint Series will be represented for the first time on the hill climb with the 700HP Fensport Celica GT4-X AWD. Other Toyota cars that will be on show (but won't compete) at the Goodwood event include Alain Prost's Andros Trophy Auris that features a carbon fibre bodywork and a tuned version of the Lexus RX 3.0-litre V6 engine, the Aygo Crazy and iQ Gazoo plus various rally cars such as the Group B Celica Twin-cam Turbo, Celica ST185, Celica GT4 ST205 and the WRC Corolla.
