All-wheel drive is obviously part of the deal, since handling is a big part of why this car exists, and is said to have its own tuning. “If it bears the ‘GRMN’ name, it must be able to run the Nürburgring properly,” is the directive from Akio Toyoda himself. That in mind, this GRMN Corolla gets exclusive front and rear monotube shock absorbers with rebound springs for improved inner-wheel traction; fettled electric power steering; and high-grip Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Weight is reduced by about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds thanks to wide swaths of carbon-fibre appearing on the hood, fenders, side spoilers, and five-position adjustable rear wing. Official curb weight is 1,460 kg (3,200 lbs). You’ll have noticed the hood and fender ducts by now, which make the thing look as if it has been attacked with an axe, along with matte bronze wheels and tony GRMN badging. Its interior also gets a smattering of unique trim.

Toyota is mum on Canadian pricing for now, but one can be assured it will eclipse the $59,000-and-change currently being asked for a GR Corolla with the Premium Package. Look for it at Toyota dealers across Canada later this year.
