Toyota Fest Ireland

01/04/2026

Today marks a very special milestone for Kellys Toyota Letterkenny as they celebrate 50 years in business.

The Letterkenny branch story began on April 1st, 1976, when they first opened their doors. Thirty years later, on April 1st, 2006, the modern garage and dealership we all know today was officially opened.

Without the support, facilities, and generosity of Kelly’s Toyota, Toyota Fest Ireland simply wouldn’t be what it is today. Their backing has played a huge role in helping us bring the Toyota community together and raise vital funds for charity.

From all of us at Toyota Fest Ireland, we want to say a heartfelt thank you and congratulations on this incredible milestone.

We wish everyone at Kelly’s Toyota many more years of happy and successful trading.

And if you’re thinking about changing your car, be sure to drop in or give the team a call. You’ll be in great hands!

- With thanks from the Toyota Fest Ireland Team 👏🚘

🔥 Pocket Rocket Toyota Yaris GRMN 🔥

One of Toyota’s most underrated modern heroes will be making an appearance at Toyota Fest Ireland 2025 – the Yaris GRMN.

Before the GR Yaris stole the limelight, Toyota gave us a taste of rally-inspired madness with this limited-run hot hatch. Powered by a supercharged 1.8L engine, developed in partnership with Lotus, the Yaris GRMN (Gazoo Racing Meister of Nürburgring) delivers 212hp through a 6-speed manual and a mechanical limited-slip diff – all in a lightweight, 3-door chassis.

Only 600 units were produced, making it one of the rarest performance Toyotas of the modern era. It was Toyota’s statement that they hadn’t forgotten how to make proper driver’s cars – raw, responsive, and race-bred.

You’ll get the chance to see this supercharged weapon in the metal on Sunday, June 1st at Kellys Toyota, Letterkenny.

🚘 KE70 Takeover at Toyota Fest Ireland 2025! 🚘

One car you're guaranteed to see plenty of at Toyota Fest Ireland is the legendary Toyota KE70 — and we couldn't be happier about it!

Originally launched as the follow-up to the KE30, the KE70 brought with it more space, comfort, and those unmistakable boxy 1980s lines we all love. It was a hit with Irish families back in the day, known for its reliability and everyday practicality.

But as time moved on, the KE70 found a new life in the hands of modifiers and grassroots drifters. Once people realised that everything from an AE86 could bolt straight in, it quickly became a cult classic. Whether you're into 2-door, 4-door saloons, or even the wagon versions — the KE70 became the perfect canvas for creativity, performance, and style.

We’re expecting a great turnout of KE70s on Sunday, June 1st at Kellys Toyota, Letterkenny, and we’d love to see more!

👉 Are you bringing a KE70 along? Drop a photo below – we want to see it!
📍 Preregistration is open on Eventbrite – link in our bio to secure your goodie bag.

🏆 The 1990 WRC-Winning Legend – Carlos Sainz’s Celica GT-Four 🏆

We are absolutely thrilled to announce a piece of motorsport history will be on display at Toyota Fest Ireland 2025 — the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165, driven by none other than Sainz during his legendary 1990 World Rally Championship-winning season.

This car is rally royalty. The ST165 was Toyota’s first Group A WRC machine, and in 1990, it powered Sainz to his first-ever world title, marking Toyota’s first WRC drivers’ championship win — a historic achievement for the brand and the beginning of an incredible WRC legacy.

Wearing its full Repsol Marlboro livery, complete with rally armour and period-correct details, this Celica is preserved just as it would have appeared flying through the stages of the world’s toughest rallies.

📍 See it in person on Sunday, June 1st at Kellys Toyota, Letterkenny.
🎟️ Pre-register via Eventbrite through the link in our bio to guarantee your goodie bag — after that, it’s first come, first served!
⏰ Gates open at 12 noon.
