Built as the ultimate expression of Toyota's rally-inspired hot hatch, this 2023 GR Corolla Morizo Edition is one of just 200 examples produced for the U.S. market. Designed with a singular focus on performance, the Morizo Edition sheds weight while adding torque, revised gearing, exclusive suspension tuning, and track-oriented appointments that distinguish it from the already impressive Circuit Edition.
Finished in its factory paint over a black and red Ultrasuede-trimmed interior, this example has been carefully maintained from new and presents in outstanding condition throughout. The body retains crisp factory panel fitment, the finish shows excellent gloss, and the car reflects enthusiast ownership with minimal signs of use.
Power comes from Toyota's turbocharged 1.6-liter G16E-GTS inline-three producing 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, representing a meaningful torque increase over the standard GR Corolla. A close-ratio six-speed intelligent manual transmission sends power to all four wheels through Toyota's GR-FOUR all-wheel-drive system with selectable front-to-rear torque distribution, while front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials maximize traction in virtually any driving condition.
Exclusive Morizo Edition upgrades include:
- Forged 18-inch BBS wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
- Lightweight forged carbon-fiber roof
- Rear seat delete with additional chassis bracing
- Ultrasuede sport seats with red accents
- Shorter final-drive gearing
- Revised dampers and suspension calibration
- Increased engine torque output
- Unique interior and exterior trim
The cockpit is purpose-built, featuring heavily bolstered front sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum pedals, digital instrumentation, dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, JBL premium audio, and Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance technology. The absence of rear seats emphasizes the Morizo's uncompromising mission while creating additional cargo space and reducing overall weight.
The turbocharged three-cylinder delivers remarkable character, combining instant throttle response with an engaging exhaust note and one of the most rewarding manual transmissions available in a modern performance car. The result is an exceptionally balanced driver's car that feels equally at home on a winding canyon road, autocross course, or race circuit.
The sale includes the original owner's manuals, factory literature, both keys, and accompanying accessories.
As one of the rarest modern Toyota performance models—and the most focused GR Corolla ever built—the Morizo Edition has already earned recognition among enthusiasts as a future collectible. Combining genuine motorsport engineering, everyday usability, and limited production, it represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the defining hot hatches of its generation.
