Toyota's 2026 GRMN Corolla: Nürburgring-Tuned Track Monster

Toyota Gazoo Racing unveils the 2026 GRMN Corolla, a track-focused evolution of the GR Corolla developed through Super Taikyu racing and Nürburgring testing. It increases engine torque to 302 lb-ft from a 1.6L turbo three-cylinder producing 300 hp, sheds about 66 lb for a curb weight of roughly 3,219 lb, and adds aero, suspension, and AWD tuning for heightened handling. The car features exclusive aero parts, carbon-fiber components, a race-inspired cockpit with dedicated seats, a five-position rear wing, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and a lightweight 2-seat interior. Production is at Motomachi for North America, Japan and Australia; full specs and price to be announced.
