Expected specs for the new GRMN Corolla
The GRMN is a limited-edition, top-of-the-line series designed for circuit driving, and past GRMN models have used dry carbon for the body panels. In addition, a large rear wing will be used at the rear . The powertrain has also been tuned specifically for the GR, significantly enhancing dynamic performance. The body will be made even more rigid, and the high-performance suspension and brake system will also be made specifically for the GR.
