GAZOO Racing debuted the GRMN Corolla as a limited-run, 2-seat flagship version of the GR Corolla, with Japan sales requests due around autumn 2026 and deliveries starting in 2027.
415 Nm of torque, 30 kg less weight and Nürburgring-tuned 4WD, suspension and aero upgrades are meant to deliver what Toyota calls a full-throttle, high-unity driving experience.
Super Taikyu racing and Nürburgring testing shaped the car’s hood and fender ducts, adjustable rear wing, monotube dampers and wider 245/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.
GR said lessons from the program already fed into the 2026 GR Corolla, including 13.9 extra meters of structural adhesive and a new cool-air duct for high-load driving.
A 5-seat GR Corolla MORIZO RR with GAZOO Racing’s automatic transmission is also in development, while both models are on display at Fuji Motorsports Forest through June 28.
