GR Corolla RZ , a model that combines the convenience of a 5-seater while maintaining the sport driving at will

• New model GR Corolla (Japanese specification / prototype)

The GR Corolla is equipped with a 1.6L in-line 3-cylinder intercooler turbo engine with a maximum output of 304PS, and the Toyota
genuine sports 4WD system GR FOUR is optimized for the GR Corolla specifications.
I finished it.
In addition, by using the body of the Corolla Sport as the basic skeleton,
while inheriting the high-speed stability created by the long wheelbase, the
front is 60 mm wide and the rear is 85 mm wide tread to achieve high turning performance.
You can enjoy sports driving at will with confidence.

<Main features of GR Corolla>

• ・Compared to the Corolla Sport, which has the basic skeleton, both front and rear are about 30mm wider on one side.
  With a wide stance, it gives a feeling of wild driving.
• ・The 3-out muffler created to further increase the output of the 1.6L in-line 3-cylinder intercooler turbo engine emphasizes the powerful and sporty rear view unique to the GR Corolla.
• ・As a result of thoroughly training cooling performance and aerodynamic performance on all roads such as circuits, dirt roads, and snowy roads, we have installed intakes on the front bumper and outlets on the front fender and hood bulge.

• ・A short-stroke shift lever is used, and the arm is placed in a position where the arm is naturally lowered from the steering, enabling quick shift operation.
• ・A guide type is adopted for the parking brake with a view to vehicle control applications in the limit range such as drift driving.
• ・Newly adopted Full TFT meter developed exclusively for GR vehicles. Taking the opinions of professional drivers as a model for racing cars, we have improved visibility during sports driving.

• ・The exhaust efficiency of the engine has been improved with the aim of further increasing the output of the compact, lightweight, high-power unit mounted on the GR Yaris.
  By adopting a three-out muffler with a valve, both exhaust pressure reduction and sound deadening performance are achieved.
  The engine is finished so that you can feel the overwhelming acceleration and the comfortable increase in the number of revolutions.

• ・With the body of the Corolla Sport as the basic skeleton, while maintaining the excellent running stability of the long wheelbase, the
  front is 60 mm wide and the rear is 85 mm wide tread to improve high-speed turning performance.
  Stability and controllability during sports driving have been greatly improved, and you can enjoy running in the limit range with confidence.

• ・Like the GR Yaris, it is equipped with the sports 4WD system "GR-FOUR" that uses an electronic multi-plate clutch to change the front-rear driving force.
  This time, by separating the 4WD mode that controls the drive distribution and the drive mode that controls the accelerator response and steering, it
  is possible to select according to the driver's preference and driving environment.
  In addition, we are working on making bushes into pillow balls, optimizing springs, absorbers, and alignment,
  and transmitting the optimum driving force distribution of GR-FOUR to the road surface.
  Achieves overwhelming turning performance.
• ・It aims to respond quickly to the driver's operation and strengthens the body rigidity.
  In addition to the high-rigidity basic skeleton realized by production at the Motomachi Factory GR Factory,
  we have improved steering stability performance by adding braces between the rear wheel houses, underfloor tunnels, and under the floor in front of the tank. In addition, the roof panel made of CFRP ^{* 7} material, which is molded by the SMC ^{* 6}
  method, which has a high degree of freedom in shape like the GR Yaris , not only increases rigidity but also contributes to weight reduction.
• ・Equipped with an opposed caliper brake that realizes stable braking force and controllability.
  You can enjoy driving on the circuit with confidence.

• ・The latest preventive safety package "Toyota Safety Sense" is standard equipment.
  It provides both safety and security in daily driving and the enjoyment of driving as a sports car.
