The Toyota Glanza was based on the 90 series chassis of the Toyota Starlet, and was first introduced in 1995 as a successor to the 80 series' Toyota Starlet GT Turbo. It was powered by a turbocharged version of a Toyota's E Engine, the 4E-FTE, and boasted power figures of 135 bhp (101 kW) @ 6400 rpm which, for the extremely light Starlet, was enough to propell the car from 0-100 km/h in under 7 seconds. At the time, acceleration times like that were only found in expensive coupe's and large cars and thus its' "affordable power" created an instant market for the car.

[edit] Culture

simlilar to it's predecessor, the GT Turbo, as the Glanza V became available as a used import it spawned a cult of drivers in right hand drive countries such as UK, Malta, Barbados, Jamaica and Ireland. It became typically popular of young male drivers as it was, in most countries, cheap to obtain road tax, insurance and cheap to run, providing a lot of "bang per buck." The performance of the car can also easily be increased by a host of modifications readily available, from cheap, "sporty" induction kits to all out car rebuilds with massively powerful engines. Some owners have achieved more than double the engine's stock specific power output![1] The popularity of the car is now maintained by clubs that have been set up by enthusiasts and their forums on the web.
