2023 Toyota GR Corolla
The All-New 2023
A Legend Arrives.
Born on the Track.
Bred by Champions.
Built for Enthusiasts, by Enthusiasts.
Introducing the NEW GR Corolla – it hasn’t competed in a single race, and yet it has already won the hearts of automotive enthusiasts across the globe. Built in collaboration with professional TOYOTA GAZOO Racing drivers, the GR Corolla is the exclusively manual-transmission sports car that stays true to its hands-on rally racing roots.
Core and Circuit
GR Corolla will come in two primary grades, Core and Circuit Edition. A third edition, the GR Corolla Morizo, will also be produced in the first year but in a very limited number of only 200 units. The Core Grade will be available later this year in white, black and Supersonic Red. It will have a color-keyed roof with rear lip spoiler, GR-Four stamped side rockers and wide-fender flares. On the inside, seating for five will come with GR logoed fabric sport seats. The Circuit Edition will also be a limited run special launch edition. Final production numbers have not yet been released.
Race-Inspired Engineering
Engineers were tasked with building a beast that would be better than the infamous “All-Trac Turbo” that cemented Toyota into the Rally Racing Record Books of the 1990s. They more than succeeded.

Turbo-Charged Engine
Toyota stuffed a mighty 3 Cylinder Turbo into GR Corolla – one that is compact-yet-powerful with increased power. Displacing 1,618 cubic centimeters, this mighty monster produces a maximum power of 300 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque.
GR-FOUR
At the heart of the new GR Corolla is the GR-FOUR All-Wheel-Drive system. With the twist of a dial, GR Corolla can adjust four-wheel drive performance to fit the driver’s needs: 60:40; 30:70, or a 50:50 distribution are all available.
Shift
The shift lever has a shortened stroke for a quick throw between gears. Positioned where the driver’s arm is naturally lowered from steering, the action is light with short shift strokes, adding to the performance quality.
GR Factory
Toyota established a dedicated GR Factory at its production facility in Motomachi, Japan. It’s the birthplace of legends such as the Lexus LFA and Supra A80 and is now home to the first GR production line, where GR Corolla and GR Yaris are precision built.
