When the Toyota GR Corolla came out, we presented it as a forbidden fruit that we could not try in Europe because It is not sold in our market. The compact won integers in its top-of-the-range version due to its performance, even more notable in its Morizo Edition. The truth is that its long-term continuity was not clear, since it was said that it would be a model limited to 8,000 units. However, it is now made official that he will be around for a longer time through the Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition.
It has been announced by Toyota Motor North America, so this example will only be available in the United States and Canada. This is a new “model year” for stay on the market this year , just as production of the first run of the GR Corolla ends. Not too many details have been given about this model beyond the fact that it will arrive during the spring and that it will be a limited edition of 1,500 units. From its name, it is clear that it will be a little more radical and focused on the track.
The Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition will have as standard details such as the ventilated hood, brake calipers with the GR logo, carbon fiber roof, glossy black rear spoiler or the Torsen limited-slip differentials (LSD) on the front and rear axle. You can also see inside the sports seats with mixed upholstery synthetic leather and Brin Naub with red details. The gear stick is the same as in the Morizo Edition and an eight-speaker JBL sound system is added.
This particular Toyota GR Corolla is offered in the colors icecap, Supersonic Red and heavy metal; with a starting price of $42,900 in United States. It is a price premium of $7,000 compared to the “normal” version and a joy for the most purist fans. The main reason is that confirmation of continuity, which seems to be in the long term. The brand has already left the door open and says it is considering extending the life of the Circuit Edition beyond 2024.
