in today's video we drove one of Toyota's most highly anticipated cars. This is the 2023 Toyota Corolla GR. The GR Corolla is the AWD, Manual, 300HP version of Toyota's very popular Corolla. The GR Corolla was built to compete with the likes of the VW Golf R, Honda Civic Type R and many other hot hatchbacks. Today we finally got behind the wheel of it and found out if it is worth the hype and the crazy wait times and over MSRP prices.

The GR Corolla is a high-performance variant of the Toyota Corolla model, developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR), the automaker's motorsport division. It was announced in 2021 and is expected to go on sale in select markets in the near future.

The GR Corolla is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine that produces 257 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission and features all-wheel drive, which helps to provide better traction and handling.

The exterior of the GR Corolla is distinguished by its aggressive styling, with a large front grille, wide fenders, and a rear spoiler. The suspension has been upgraded to provide better handling, and the brakes have been improved to provide more stopping power.

Inside, the GR Corolla features sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a digital instrument cluster. Other features include a touchscreen infotainment system, climate control, and a premium audio system.

The GR Corolla is designed to appeal to driving enthusiasts who are looking for a high-performance compact car that is equally at home on the track as it is on the street. Its combination of power, speed, and handling make it a highly anticipated model among Toyota fans and performance car enthusiasts.
