JAKARTA - Toyota through its Gazzo Racing (GR) division officially presents the GRMN Corolla, which comes with several special touches on this high-performance hatchback to turn it into the best.
The above model is designed to provide a confident driving experience, especially the GRMN Corolla's aerodynamic performance tested in the Super Taikyu Series and honed at the Nürburgring, where the car is constantly driven at high speeds and requires maximum performance.
Through these tests and races, Toyota was able to develop aerodynamic performance components for the GRMN Corolla to improve road grip, which includes air ducts on the hood and fenders, front spoilers, and rear wings.
Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman and Master Driver Akio Toyoda, stated that if it will bear the name GRMN, the car must be able to handle the Nürburgring well.
"The development team honed the Corolla GRMN on the most challenging race circuit in the world. Maximum testing at the Nürburgring, which provides road input and surface variations not found in regular test circuits, highlights the weaknesses of a car. Developing the Corolla GRMN at the Nürburgring made it possible to create a car that can be controlled at will at all speeds, even on rough surfaces," he said, quoted from the official website, Tuesday, June 2.
Toyota also refined the GRMN Corolla suspension at The Green Hell, where the road surface triggers suspension behavior at high speeds that cannot be experienced at any other circuit. This high-performance hatchback is equipped with front and rear monotube shock absorbers that increase inner wheel traction when cornering. Suspension tuning also improves high-speed cornering performance.
In addition, Toyota also modified the electric power steering system on the standard Corolla GR to provide greater assistance torque on the GRMN version when cornering at high speed. This car also gets a 4WD control system that is specially tuned to optimize rear torque distribution when driving straight and improve stability when applying steering input at high speeds.
GRMN Corolla will be available in limited quantities, mainly in Japan, North America, and Australia. In Japan, the plan is to accept sales negotiation requests via the "GR app" smartphone app starting around autumn 2026, with sales scheduled to begin in 2027.
