In the realm of hot hatches, the Toyota GR Corolla emerges as a limited-edition beast, especially in its Marizo version. This pumped-up Corolla boasts upgrades galore, from three exhausts to wider body panels, setting it apart from the standard model. Under the hood lies a potent 1.6L 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, fine-tuned to deliver 34 horsepower and 370 NM of torque, promising a thrilling ride. The GR Corolla's visual enhancements, including air vents for cooling and a wider track, hint at the performance prowess that lies within.
Inside the cabin, the GR Corolla exudes sportiness with its snug sport seats, GR gear knob, and switchable four-wheel-drive button, all geared towards enhancing the driving experience. Not stopping at mere aesthetics, Toyota reinforces the car's performance with a carbon fiber roof, a bespoke four-wheel-drive system, and additional braces for improved handling. The car's testing on Toyota's Shimoyama Proving Ground showcases its stability and power, hinting at the adrenaline-fueled experience it offers on the road.
Enter the Marizo Edition, a souped-up variant of the GR Corolla that takes things up a notch. With a weight reduction achieved by ditching the rear seats and structural enhancements like extra chassis bracing, this version aims to deliver an even more exhilarating ride. The uprated engine, boasting 304 horsepower and 400 NM of torque, coupled with tweaks to the drive system, promises a punchier and grippier performance that sets it apart from the standard model. The Marizo Edition's impressive lap times and acceleration tests make a compelling case for Toyota to bring both versions to Europe and the UK, with the Marizo Edition standing out as the ultimate choice for enthusiasts seeking a blend of sportiness and performance.
