About This Artwork
The artwork presents the 1997 Toyota Starlet Glanza V from a low front three-quarter angle, emphasizing the tiny three-door hatchback body, short hood, distinctive front fascia, and planted compact stance. Clean black-and-white linework defines the subtle front lip, compact multi-spoke wheels, and tidy street-tuner fitment without cluttering the shape. The proportions make the EP91 especially recognizable to Japanese performance-car fans. Use the vector artwork for cutting, decals, shirts, garage signs, posters, digital layouts, and other DIY projects where crisp outlines and scalable detail are useful.

About the Vehicle
The 1997 Toyota Starlet Glanza V was the turbocharged performance version of the sixth-generation Starlet, built on Toyota’s compact EP91 platform for the Japanese market. Its 1.3-liter 4E-FTE four-cylinder used electronic fuel injection and a turbocharger, sending power through a five-speed manual transmission to the front wheels. The three-door hatchback body kept weight low and gave the car a notably short, tidy footprint.
For 1997, the Glanza V represented the later EP91 evolution of Toyota’s small-car performance formula, following the earlier EP82 Starlet GT Turbo. Factory equipment and styling centered on a sportier front treatment, compact dimensions, and turbocharged response rather than large-car power. Limited official sales outside Japan helped make the Glanza V relatively uncommon in North America, where it remains a specialist JDM import and tuning-community favorite.

Fun Facts
- The Glanza V used Toyota’s 1,331 cc 4E-FTE turbocharged four-cylinder, a member of the same compact E-series engine family found in other Toyota performance applications.
- The EP91 Starlet Glanza V drove the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, pairing turbocharged power with a lightweight hatchback layout rather than all-wheel drive.
- Toyota’s Starlet performance lineage immediately before the Glanza V included the EP82 GT Turbo, making the 1997 car part of a two-generation run of turbocharged hot hatches.
- With a three-door body and a short overall footprint, the 1997 Glanza V followed the Japanese-market tradition of building serious performance versions from compact economy-car platforms.
Why Enthusiasts Love It
The 1997 Starlet Glanza V appeals to enthusiasts who value response, light weight, and compact dimensions over sheer displacement. Its front-wheel-drive layout, 4E-FTE turbo engine, five-speed manual, and three-door body create a focused Japanese hot-hatch experience that feels very different from larger rear-drive performance cars. Because the EP91 was not broadly sold in North America, imported examples attract JDM specialists, period-correct builders, and owners who enjoy a relatively uncommon platform with strong tuning-community interest.
