Toyota is gearing up for the Formula Drift Long Beach weekend by unveiling a new GR Corolla development vehicle. The vehicle, currently in development, was teased with camouflaged photos showing features such as new fender vents, hood vents, and a rear spoiler, suggesting potential enhancements in aerodynamic performance, increased torque, and unique tuning.
The GAZOO Racing team is working on fine-tuning this vehicle, which is yet to undergo Akio Toyoda’s final test drive. Further details about the vehicle are expected to be released in Fall 2025.
