Toyota unveiled the GRMN Corolla for track enthusiasts.
Toyota unveiled the new GRMN Corolla, the most advanced version of the sports hatchback. The acronym GRMN stands for Gazoo Racing Meister of Nürburgring and is used exclusively for extreme models tested on the famous Nürburgring track.
The car features a lightweight design without rear seats. The hood, front fenders, spoilers, and rear wing are made of carbon fiber. This reduces the car's weight by approximately 30 kg compared to the standard GR Corolla.
Engineers also increased engine torque from 400 to 409 Nm. Under the hood, the 1.6-liter, three-cylinder turbocharged G16E-GTS engine remains, mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
To ensure stable performance at high speeds, the car features an intercooler system and an upgraded suspension with components more commonly found on rally and racing cars. The GRMN Corolla is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, BBS forged wheels, and a reinforced brake system.
Production will begin at the Motomachi plant in Japan. The new model is expected to cost around $55,000.
