6 Reasons the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla Excels on the Track

0-60 Thrills

The 2024 GR Corolla packs a punch in the form of a 1.6L 3-cylinder turbocharged engine that pumps out 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Powerful yet compact, this engine adds minimal weight to the vehicle, keeping it light and reactive at every turn and translating to a 0-60 time of 4.99 seconds. With an electronically controlled top speed of 142.9 miles per hour, challenging your buddies on the track has never been more fun.

Rally-Built Transmission

For enhanced driving thrills, the GR Corolla comes with an exclusive 6-speed short-shift intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) that gives you full shifting control while adjusting the engine rotations automatically when changing gears for smooth shifting and improved performance. Rev-matching and a sport pedal clutch complete the transmission’s design for an ultra-responsive ride.

Selectable Drive Modes

Whether you’re dashing through town or racing on a track, the GT Corolla’s selectable drive modes adjust the vehicle’s performance to match the task. The Eco and Normal modes are perfect for casual driving and commuting, whereas the Sport mode uses the engine’s full performance for agile driving dynamics. A fourth Custom mode allows you to achieve top track performance with personalized suspension, steering wheel, and engine settings.

Sport Suspensions

GR sport-tuned suspensions pair with the Corolla’s advanced powertrain, delivering a lower ground clearance for improved cornering when driving at higher speeds. With these suspensions, you can enjoy a better feel of the road and a more exciting driving experience, while fixed-caliper disc brakes with ventilated and slotted front rotors and ventilated rear rotors deliver an instant response each time you hit the brake pedal.

Standard Four-Wheel Drive

With standard GR-FOUR All-Wheel drive, you can enjoy your GR Corolla on the track whenever the mood hits, regardless of the weather, or drive it confidently on rugged terrains. Three power settings allow you to split torque distribution to the front and rear wheels for optimized performance in the city, off the road, and on asphalt racing tracks.

Advanced Exhaust System

Contributing to the GR’s performance is the triple exhaust system designed to reduce exhaust backpressure and optimize gas flow. By optimizing the flow velocity, the system allows the engine to achieve maximum horsepower and torque for unrivaled performance in all driving conditions. The three stylish pipes also boost the Corolla’s looks and provide a head-turning roaring sound.

The 2024 GR Corolla boasts aggressive power and spirited handling that must be tried on the road. Call us today at Coughlin Toyota in Heath, OH to book your test drive and find the answers to any questions you might have.
