    Toyota drops another teaser of GR Corolla hot hatch -AUTOINDUSTRIYA



    From what we can make out, the GR Corolla will have a more aggressive front end courtesy of a sporty front bumper that's paired with a large intake. Also seen on the camo itself is what looks to be a GR Four decal on the side. It's the name of the all-wheel-drive system that's currently seeing use in the GR Yaris and is also expected to be used in the GR Corolla.
    Aside from the same all-wheel drive system, the souped-up Corolla is also expected to use the same 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine dubbed the G16E-GTS in the GR Yaris. Based on Toyota's previous teaser, the GR Corolla could put out 268 PS which is slightly more than what the PH-spec GR Yaris makes; 261 PS. A six-speed manual gearbox will most likely be the sole transmission option.

    Toyota has yet to say when they will the GR Corolla will debut. But since they posted another teaser image, we might not have to wait that long for its official debut.

    Teaser photos show off the new performance model's GR badge, for Gazoo Racing, its fender vent, and a "GR-Four" badge that suggests it will share its all-wheel-drive system with the rally-inspired GR Yaris.

    If Toyota priced the Yaris GR at php 2.6M since it has 257hp, maybe they'll price the Corolla GR at php 3M since it has 300hp? 😂

    GR Corolla Morizo edition engine fails on track, crashes, burns.
    Nate | I’ve studied this video to try to understand what caused it, I still can’t say definitively, but here are the facts of the moment of... | Instagram

    The owner's account:
    My account of the sequence of events:
    This was near the end of session 1 day 2, my first time in group 3, third overall track day, not educated enough to pay close attention to my gauges, not taking cool and hot laps, full send the whole time. Car was hot, oil was thin. Coming around turn 11, oil pressure drops momentarily (as per video), accelerate through 3rd, through 4th, shift into 5th and coast into T14. Engine fails while coasting, unbeknownst to me (you can identify the moment of failure watching the oil pressure gauge), oil spews into the engine bay, onto the track, and onto my rear tires. Downshift input and oil on tires kicks my rear end out to the right sending me off track and into the tire wall. Hot oil ignites engine bay.
    Thomas of The Autopian thinks this was probably caused by too-thin 0W-20 oil recommended by the manufacturer:
    We don’t really know what happened, but let’s look at suspect number one, the possibility that the lubrication on hand wasn’t sufficient for the extra modifications put on the engine. The Toyota GR Corolla normally runs a 0w20 oil, a fine spec for cold flow and efficiency in daily driving, but maybe not the most common race oil (it is what Toyota recommends, though plenty of folks seem to be using a 30-weight for track driving). Let’s look at Pennzoil Ultra Platinum; if we zoom in on kinematic viscosity at 100ºC, or 212ºF, we’ll see that the 0w20 rings in at 8.8 centistokes, while the 5w30 posts up a figure of 10.3 centistokes. Now, 8.8 centistokes is still perfectly safe in many applications, but obviously a stock car is different than one that’s been modified, and oil temperatures in modern cars often climb far beyond 212ºF.

    In this case, the owner of this GR Corolla stated a logged oil temperature of 254ºF, or a hair over 123ºC.
