We've got news for you. The new Toyota GR Corolla is a seriously scorching hot hatch

It’s a good time for Toyota fans as the Japanese marque has finally revealed its scorching hot new GR Corolla hatch.

We've got news for you. The new Toyota GR Corolla is a seriously scorching hot hatch

Built to do bad things to the likes of the Volkswagen Golf R, Audi S3 and Mercedes-AMG A35, this mutant Corolla is shaped by the hand of speed itself and comes fitted with wider front (+20mm) and rear (+30mm) fenders stuffed with 18-inch gloss-black 15-spoke alloy wheels shod with sticky 235/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.

Other defining GR Corolla exterior features include a huge front radiator grille and a pair of rally-inspired bonnet-bulge air outlets if you go for the flagship Circuit Edition over the entry-level Core derivative. The Circuit Edition also receives a larger rear roof spoiler and a lightweight forged carbon-fibre roof that not only looks incredible, but contributes to a lower centre of gravity. An aluminium bonnet and front doors are standard on both.

Swing around to the rear of the GR Corolla and your eyes will be met by a rather interesting triple exhaust tailpipe arrangement that Toyota says reduces engine back pressure. Speaking of which, let’s have a quick chat about this machine’s oily bits.

As speculated, the GR Corolla inherits the same 1.6l three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine doing duty in the GR Yaris. Except Toyota has done a bit of fettling and it now pumps out 224kW (that’s an extra 26kW) and 370Nm worth of torque (+10Nm). There’s only one transmission to pair it to and that’s a six-speed manual fitted with Toyota’s neat iMT system that automatically blips the throttle for you on downshifts. Of course if you want to heel-and-toe the old fashioned way then you can turn it off.
