en.Wedoany.com Reported - GAZOO Racing (GR) globally unveiled the "GRMN Corolla" (prototype) on June 2 and announced the development plan for the "GR Corolla MORIZO RR" (concept car).

Both models will be on display at the Fuji Motorsports Forest Welcome Center from June 2 to June 28. The exhibition also features the limited-production models "GR Yaris MORIZO RR" and "GR Yaris 'Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition'," as well as the No. 32 ORC ROOKIE GR Corolla H2 Concept, which competed in the 2023 Super Taikyu Series, and the No. 109 GR Yaris, which participated in the 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race.

Developed as the ultimate GR Corolla, the GRMN Corolla leverages experience gained from events such as the Nürburgring and the Super Taikyu Series to deliver intuitive control from low speeds to racing speeds, even on rough road surfaces. The powertrain is the same as the base model "GR Corolla RZ (25MY)," featuring the inline 3-cylinder 1.6-liter turbocharged engine "G16E-GTS," but with maximum torque increased by 15 Nm to 415 Nm, characterized by enhanced mid-range torque crucial for acceleration out of corners. Additionally, the vehicle incorporates numerous improvements, including exterior components focused on cooling, optimized electric power steering and four-wheel drive torque distribution, upgraded tire sizes, and reduced body weight. In Japan, applications for consultation are expected to begin via the smartphone app "GR app" from autumn 2026, with the vehicle set to go on sale within 2027.

The GR Corolla MORIZO RR (concept car) is another version equipped with GR-DAT (GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission). Detailed specifications have not yet been announced, and only the exterior of the display vehicle is visible.

Other GR models are also on display at the Fuji Motorsports Forest Welcome Center.
