I like this bit
Quote: | "The innovation was the clutch pack central differential which controlled the torque between front and rear axles. I think the ST165 must be the best car in its day that TTE ever rallied. In its day the Lancia and the Mazda were the main rivals, and the ST165 was better than the opposition. By this yardstick the ST165 was probably the best car we have ever had.

They did very poorly, as you would expect from such a large and heavy car. Toyota only campaigned them as a stopgap while they developed the GT4.
