2023 Toyota GR Corolla Specifications
I assume 3249lbs for Circuit Pack?
probably a little more. The LSD's and other "circuit" stuff won't be totally offset by a carbon roof.

Weight of core edition?
Or, from a NA aspect, cause you want whole numbers to represent power-to-weight:
GRC 3249 / 300hp = 10.83lbs/hp
GRC 3249 / 273tq = 10.90lbs/tq
Euro
GRY 2816 / 258hp = 10.91lbs/hp
GRY 2816 / 266tq = 10.58lbs/tq
Only gripe, and it's a minor one: macpherson struts.

My guess is that weight is the core edition. On the gry, i think they said the roof saves about 7-8 pounds. Hardly enough to offset two torsens, extra speakers, heating parts.
They will probably give it Bilsteins for a GRMN release.
That's quite the 6th speed ratio. Wonder about the final drive ratio
Fun fact! When the GR Yaris came out, its G16-E had the highest HP-per-liter of any production engine. However, it was shortly overtaken by the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport:
h/t to Kristen Lee over at The Drive for pointing this out
- GR Yaris: 268hp / 1.6L = 167.6 hp/L
- Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport: 1,479 hp / 8.0L = 184.9 hp/L

I hope PCD is same as gry... 5x114.3 😁
I don't mind Toyota has been using McPherson's since early 70s, unlike Honda who first ventured into performance McPherson's in the early 2000's with the dc5/ep3. just means more static camber for us track folks.
McStruts are also in the GRY. The back half of the GRY is from the Corolla, which is where the double wishbone suspension comes from. I'm actually impressed at how Toyota essentially made a bigger GRY. I thought they'd cut corners on some stuff, but it's literally a GRY in a bigger body. But just making a larger GRY isn't good enough. Add power. That's crazy and unexpected. The Corolla hatch body is no slouch either. GR is using the Corolla hatch for the BTCC racing series, so it has actual pedigree and racing lineage. The GRY never got to race, and likely never will due to WRC rule changes. Although we'll never get the true homologation special here in the USA, we get its drivetrain with a body that's actually being used for racing. That's pretty damn impressive on its own.
The GRY did get to race. Just because it didn't race in WRC, doesn't mean it didn't race. It participated in the All Japan Rally Championship which I can't find clear results for

It does kinda suck the Yaris didn’t do it’s WRC thing though. Changing regs suck but it is what it is.
I don't believe that's correct as the Mercedes M139 2.0L motor puts out 208.9 hp/L back in 2019. Was used in the A45, CLA45 and a few other vehicles iirc. So that was the highest hp/L of a mass production engine.

The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four will be stuck in cars like the A45, CLA45, and GLA45.

Now bumping the power to 210.5 hp/L:
New Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder turbo engine
Four wins: with an output of up to 310 kW (421 hp), the completely newly developed Mercedes-AMG 2.0-litre M 139 engine is the world's most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine in series production.

I believe I believe Konnisegg has the current highest output per L in a 'street' car.
Though personally I don't want a non-track car to be the highest output per L... only means more maintenance and reliability issues trying to wrangle in 30+psi of boost which I'm sure the GrC is pretty dang close to. Still want Toyota reliability.

Hmm interesting. This is almost exactly as wide as my 99 Impreza with my widebody. Should be a similar feel then, which is neat.
I'm confused on the corollas cargo space dimensions. I know it's not listed here, but I've been looking them up. Online it says 17.8 cubic feet seats up, and 23 with them down. Most other small hatch backs with the seats down seem to gain at least 10 cubic feet more than with them folded up. How does the Corolla only gain about 5 cubic feet with them down? Is the back seat really that tiny? Anyone currently own a Corolla hatch that can give some insight on how useful the space is with seats up/down?
One of the major issues my wife has with this car is the useful space. I don't care really, as I'm used to small cars. But if we're going to drop 40k on a new car, she would like to know we can still fit large bags in the rear for road trips and such. It's just the two of us, so I'm not trying to fit other kids or people back there very often.
