As soon as I saw the words three-cylinder machine, I was instantly blinded! It seems that in terms of emission standards, Toyota is also difficult to protect itself.
On April 1, toyota GR Corolla was officially unveiled. The new car will push two versions, core version and Circuit Edition version, of which core version is expected to hit the US market by the end of 2022, and Circuit Edition will be launched in 2023. The new car is based on the regular hatchback model currently on sale, but it is powered by a G16E-GTS 1.6T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 300Ps and a maximum torque of 370 N·m.
The Toyota GR Corolla will be built by Toyota's Gazoo Racing division, based on the Corolla hatchback. However, as soon as you see the grin two letters, you know that this car will also be equipped with a more exaggerated grille in order to meet a more exaggerated sports feeling. The entire front of the car is fully aggressive, and with the upper air intakes and lower front lip spoilers, it does not look very annoying.
Although it is a hatchback, it is equipped with 18 one-inch wheels, as well as four-piston brake calipers, and the standard is michelin's PS4S series. This is very much in line with the concave and convex lines on the side of the body, although the size of the body is not large, but the ambition is not small.
Have you ever seen such a small car actually adopt a three-out exhaust layout? There are also larger size rear spoilers and tail wings. To be honest, this is a bit of a duel with Nissan's GT-R. It is reported that the first version of the model will have a larger spoiler and carbon fiber roof design.
The interior is still simple, in addition to the details of the use of leather + Alcantara + weaving splicing barrel seats, full LCD dashboard, etc., the rest may be more comprehensive dynamic information display on the LCD dashboard.
Such a dynamic car actually uses a three-cylinder machine. The G16E-GTS 1.6T engine, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, has a maximum power of up to 300Ps and a peak torque of 370 N·m. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with a GR-Four four-wheel drive system, and the Circuit Edition model will also have a front and rear limited slip differential lock.
Ghost Bucket Truck Point of View: If nothing else, it is this three-cylinder machine, which really makes me a little unable to accept it. Shaking, shaking from beginning to end, even though I was driving a super aggressive car, I still didn't like it. What about you?
