Here you can find all the official 2023+ GR Corolla photos from Toyota.
Seems like lighting and shadow differences in the different pictures to me. People saying gloss/matte on the grill and bumper but I think they’re the same between circuit and core. Some pictures make the gray circuit car look like a satin finish but in the reveal video it was very clearly gloss. So the different editing of the different photo sets are playing some tricks.So the exhaust on the circuit version appears to be different than on the Core version (center tip). Is this actually the case? Maybe a performance exhaust will be an accessory?
Also, the white Circuit Edition doesn't have the big spoiler. Interesting.
I thought I recall one of the media folks saying it was functional vents.I'd love to know what the heck the slots either side of the license plate (just below where the paint ends) on the rear bumper are for.
Edited a littleENHANCE!
I’ve heard some say that a performance pack will be available on the base model and all things that are on the circuit pack will be available on the base model other that the signature shift knob, heavy metal color, and red stitched interior. The circuit pack is basically fully loaded. The thing that I don’t get are the pictures of what appears to be a fully loaded base model or a circuit pack with a small spoiler in the heavy metal. Is the circuit pack available without the large spoiler, or is the heavy metal also on the base? I would guess that spoiler is an option on the circuit pack….So the exhaust on the circuit version appears to be different than on the Core version (center tip). Is this actually the case?

That's what we're trying to look for(the tow points are usually where plate mounts can go in as well)Probably pops out to put a screw in tow point
I can definitely say I’ll be extremely disappointed after seeing both the white and heavy metal if the gloss black grill/diffuser, vented hood, and carbon fiber roof are not available with the smaller spoiler.Per Toyota's press release:
"The Circuit Edition will be a limited-run model available in 2023. Standard colors are white, Supersonic Red and Heavy Metal with the same GR-Four stamped side rockers and wide fenders as the Core. It adds a forged carbon fiber roof, vented bulge hood and a sporty rear spoiler, Brin Naub® suede-trimmed sport seats with red accents and a launch-year-exclusive Morizo signed shift knob."
