    2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition Has More Torque and No Rear Seats

    The Toyota GR Corolla was revealed barely two months ago, but it seems the Gazoo Racing team took that time to find a bit more performance lurking within that five-door body. Sure, the car already has a Circuit Edition for its first model year, but what would a true track-day special GR Corolla look like? Here’s your answer: The GR Corolla Morizo Edition, a four-door hatchback with only two seats.

    The name “Morizo” may seem like an odd choice — we all know GR, TRD, or Tosco, but what’s a Morizo? The answer is not what, but who: Morizo is the name Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota, uses when he wants to compete in races incognito. That’s a dedicated enthusiast, right there.

    Toyota says the Morizo Edition includes upgrades chosen specifically to meet the demands of Toyoda himself: Grippier rubber wrapped around wider wheels, shorter ratios for the six-speed manual transmission, and an extra 22 lb-ft of torque to bring the total up to 295. Oh, and did I mention the rear seats are gone?

    The two seats that remain in the Morizo Edition get leather and ultrasuede upholstery, and there are further track-day lightness measures: The rear windows don’t roll down, and the rear doors have no stereo speakers — after all, there’s no one left back there to cool or entertain. The rear hatch loses its windshield wiper to shave a few more precious ounces.

    The result is a 100-lb weight reduction from the standard GR Corolla, down to a curb weight of 3,186 lbs. Between that light weight and the car’s front and rear limited-slip differentials (borrowed from the Circuit Edition), it ought to be an absolute riot to drive. That is, if you can get your hands on one — Toyota will only build 200 of these track-ready hot hatches.

    Toyota hasn’t yet announced pricing for the regular GR Corolla, much less the Morizo Edition. We’d expect a bit of a price bump over both the Core and Circuit Editions of the car, and even more of a dealer markup once it hits the showroom floors in 2023.
