The GR Corolla Circuit Edition we tested accelerated to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and reached 100 mph in 11.4 seconds. The Circuit Edition comes standard with front and rear limited-slip differentials, while the base Core model offers those as an option. Current examples of the Corolla, even sporty SE and XSE models, don't offer remotely racy handling or performance, but upgrades to the GR's suspension and powertrain make it a legitimate contender in the sport-compact segment. The GR-Four system allows the driver to choose among different power-distribution modes, starting with a 60/40 front-to-rear split for everyday driving to up to 30/70 to allow for drifting antics a 50/50 split option is intended to provide maximum traction for racing. A six-speed manual is the only transmission available, and all models come with Toyota's GR-Four all-wheel-drive system. For the GR Corolla, it was tuned to make 300 horsepower-an eye-opening 185.4 horsepower per liter and 43 horsepower more than it makes in the GR Yaris. Under the hood of the GR Corolla is a turbocharged three-cylinder engine plucked from the GR Yaris-a hatchback that the Japanese automaker sells in global markets outside of the United States. The top-spec Morizo Edition trim will be built in very limited numbers, and it has been stripped of its rear seat and several other components to reduce weight and maximize performance. ![]() ![]() We'd stick with the Core trim and splurge on the Performance package, which adds front and rear limited-slip differentials. ![]()
