Under the Hood
The 1.8-liter VVT-i (variable valve timing with intelligence) four-cylinder engine in the Celica GT develops 140 hp. A 1.8-liter dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder with a different design and VVTL-i technology goes into the sportier GT-S edition, which churns out 180 hp at 7,600 rpm. The GT has a standard five-speed-manual gearbox, and the GT-S manual has six speeds. A four-speed-automatic transmission is optional for both models, but the one in the GT-S offers manual gear selection using four buttons on the steering wheel. While the GT engine runs on regular gasoline, the GT-S requires premium fuel at the pump.

So, guess there was no "battle of v6's" so thread done.
