The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing engineering team has made several enhancements to the chassis and aerodynamics of the 2024 GR Corolla. These include material updates to the chassis, such as changes to the mounting bolts of the steering gear, rear suspension, and battery ground. The aerodynamic updates include the addition of aluminum sheets to the front and rear bumpers, as well as a redesigned duct shape for improved airflow.

The 2024 GR Corolla Circuit Edition will be available in the coming Winter. Pricing and further details for all 2024 GR Corolla models will be announced later.

An Epic AWD Hot Hatch

The GR Corolla is TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s first model developed and manufactured specifically for the North American market. It carries the motorsport-to-road development spirit of Toyota’s racing division. The GR Corolla underwent extensive testing at leading Japanese circuits, such as Fuji Speedway, Suzuka, and Tsukuba Circuit. It also underwent heavy-duty dirt and snow driving tests with a Japanese Rally Championship driver to ensure exceptional acceleration and control.

Under the hood, the GR Corolla Circuit Edition is equipped with a turbocharged G16E-GTS 1.6-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine. It delivers 300 hp at 6,500 rpm and 273 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000-5,500 rpm. The GR Corolla models come exclusively with a six-speed intelligent Manual Transmission with rev matching.

The GR Corolla Circuit Edition is equipped with the rally racing developed GR-FOUR All-Wheel-Drive system. The system can adjust the front/rear torque distribution to 60:40 for everyday driving, 30:70 for winding roads, and 50:50 for maximum grip on the circuit. The GR-FOUR system optimizes drive power to each wheel, delivering exceptional traction and control.

All GR Corolla models are built on the Toyota New Global Architecture-C platform (TNGA-C), which provides a super-rigid structure. The Circuit Edition also features a range of performance-enhancing components, including independent MacPherson-type strut front suspension, double-wishbone rear suspension, front and rear Torsen® Limited-Slip Differentials (LSD), and wide tread tires mounted on forged aluminum 18-inch wheels.

The Circuit Edition’s aerodynamic performance comes from a combination of aero panels, ducting, rear diffusers, and a rear spoiler, which contribute to added downforce. The GR Corolla also features underbody panels with wide underfloor covers for seamless coverage and aero stabilizing fins for improved airflow. The front of the car incorporates side air curtains to guide airflow and has redesigned ducts and aluminum sheets for enhanced stability. The Circuit Edition also includes hood and fender ducts for engine bay airflow.
