Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday
Toyota's GR Corolla Is Coming This Thursday-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:24

We’ve seen after for the upcoming GR Corolla, but Toyota hasn’t given us much in the way of firm information. The company has hinted at the Yaris’s G16 engine, its 268 horsepower, and its GR-Four AWD system making their way to the Corolla platform, but those hints have come through bits and pieces of info hidden through social media posts. Now, we finally know when we’ll get real information: This week.

Toyota has confirmed a reveal date for “its newest GR sports car,” complete with dark video of GR badges, brakes, and fender flares. The company still hasn’t said the word “Corolla,” but come on now. We know it’s a Corolla. It’s okay, Toyota, you can say the word.

The full GR Corolla reveal will come Thursday, March 31, at 9:30 PM Eastern time. The video will be streamed on , in a video appropriately (if boring-ly) titled “Toyota Performance Product Reveal.” Ah yes, my favorite car: Performance Product.

The latest photos, the first we’ve seen without any camouflage, focus on two features: The widened, vented fender flares, and an embossed GR-FOUR badge. The fender, presumably the front-driver’s side, looks even wider than . My hopes for a truly wild Corolla are once again piqued.

The GR-Four badge, denoting Toyota’s performance AWD system, is a little harder to place. It could be a side skirt, with that raised panel on the left of the frame being the fender from the first image. A front splitter, though, isn’t out of the question either. Any guesses? Let us know in the comments.

With the full reveal on Thursday, we’re expecting confirmation about the elements of the Corolla that Toyota has already teased, as well as more detailed information about the exterior, interior, and drivetrain changes. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll even get pricing and availability information too.

While not the first 4-wheel drive car, AMC's Eagle is arguably the first crossover ever. Today's '81 wagon may look like something out of the John Deere catalog, but is its price something to get cross over? American Motors Corporation did not have a long history, harkening back to the...

Chris Paine's 2006 documentary film, Who Killed the Electric Car, was a rallying cry for fans of electric vehicles who'd felt betrayed by government and industry. Does his sequel, grab the mantle and run? We got an early look to see for ourselves. The filmakers provided us an exclusive look...

The incestuous relationships between the Italian super car makers in the 1960s is legend. Today's also legendary 1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada is the offspring of that industrial interbreeding, but will its price require a vecchio amante danaroso? Not only did yesterday's have John Deere turning over soil in his...

In physics, quantum mechanics theory describes wave function and was first developed in 1925 by the German physicist, Werner Heisenberg.

Japanese sports cars, unlike that country's delicious sashimi, have pretty decent shelf lives. Today's Toyota Supra still looks pretty tasty even after 18 years. Its price and lack of a turbo however, may make you say fugu you! Another Japanese sports car - and one from competing brand Nissan -...

Revisiting past glories can sometime end up sullying not just the visitor, but the original memory. Today's 1979 Trans Am attempts to make the car what its predecessors once were, but does its price mean throwing your money down its past-glory hole? Speaking of which, it turns out that -...
