Recently, it has announced that a more hardcore version of the Toyota GR Corolla is coming soon. More specifically, it will be one that is ‘born on the track.’ Oh yes, please
The development vehicle pictured - which wears the same camo costume as the mid-engined GR Yaris concept and all of the recent Gazoo Racing prototypes - gains a bigger rear wing and improved cooling with additional inlets on the bonnet and vents on the front wheel arches.

Toyota’s also said this version will also get a ‘bump’ in torque and a unique tune. Considering the current car gets from 0-100kph in around five seconds, courtesy of a 300hp turbocharged three-cylinder, it’ll be interesting to see how much extra punch is supplied.
The hot hatch received a facelift last summer too, which brought with it the option of an eight-speed automatic gearbox, plus a sportier suspension tune with new rebound springs and coilovers.
It’s already a quick car, the Toyota GR Corolla. Just how much quicker this potential track special will be remains to be seen.
