The Toyota Corolla GRMN, the ultimate version of the GR Corolla, was caught completely undisguised at a dealership event, revealing exclusive details that confirm its status as a hardcore vehicle. These images, initially shared on the GR Corolla Forum, unveil a track-ready hot hatch.
An aggressive design and performance materials
The front of the car features aggressive air intakes and fins on the bumper, perfectly matching the official teasers released by Toyota in the spring. The standout feature is undoubtedly its exposed carbon fiber hood, a tribute to the tuning cars of the 2000s. At the rear, a large spoiler and a GRMN badge leave no doubt about its identity.
An interior focused on performance
The interior images confirm several specific features. Like the Morizo edition, this GRMN removes the rear seats to lighten the structure. The steering wheel and gear lever are wrapped in Alcantara, a finish not found on standard GR models. The biggest surprise lies in the new bucket seats, which are much more enveloping and closer to those of a race car than a typical city car.
Gold wheels and a mysterious powertrain
One cannot ignore its beautiful gold forged wheels, which appear identical to those already available but in this exclusive color. While the leaks reveal a lot about the appearance, they remain silent on the powertrain. The current GR Corolla has a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower. Toyota has mentioned a “torque increase” and the possibility of inheriting the short-ratio gearbox from the Morizo, suggesting the engine’s power may be reworked for the track.
An imminent reveal
The wait shouldn’t be much longer. Toyota has promised to release more information in the fall of 2025, making the official unveiling of this Toyota Corolla GRMN imminent.
