Toyota has released official pricing and specs for the highly anticipated GR Corolla, ahead of its arrival in March.
Prices start from $62,300 before on-road costs for the GR Corolla GTS and $77,800 before on-road costs for the Morizo Edition excluding on-road costs.
Toyota Australia has confirmed it has secured 700 units of the GTS within the first year of production and only 25 examples of the Morizo Edition.

The GTS can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 5.29 seconds while the flagship Morizo Edition can do 0-100km/h in 5.21 seconds thanks to the addition of 30Nm of torque.
