We're all excited about Toyota's long-due AWD hot hatch, so here's a thread in a feeble attempt to contain all our excitement! I'll start with some memes:

I'm definitely hyped! I'm temporarily glad I live in an area where people only want trucks and SUVs. No dealer I've talked to has even had anyone else ask about the GRC!

I can't find a better quality version for this one so sorry about that

Are people pulling the 268hp number from somewhere or is it a guess? I'm holding on to the hope that we're at 280+.

I think it's from this teaser:

Note the 2 ___ 68 in the A/C unit, and G:16 in the dash.

 

[Wynorrific]

268 is what the GRY makes in Japan and is what the climate says on the original teaser image. They didn't point it out in the reel from today so I'm hopeful it still means nothing as that part is uneditied from the original

I did get a little concerned when the script said “the horsepower…the all wheel drive”

I think people definitely want more power than 268 otherwise that will give it a significantly lower power to weight ratio than GRY, and many other performance cars for that matter.

It would be awesome if it was 331hp given the 03/31 reveal date lol. Can only dream…

 

[Wynorrific]

331 would be very hopeful. 300 keeps it on par with the competition but I wouldn't be surprised if they do 275-280. 268 is just under powered to compete with the WRX and the Elantra N when they have more horsepower (with the Elantra weighing less)

That's my biggest hope too. I think the japanese leak suggested around 296, so that is what I'm desperately hoping for!! T-minus....a little over a day lol

I’m saying it’s gonna be 290ish

Regardless what it gets from factory, power has been proven easy to get

Well. Easy, not cheap. As far as I know, you need a standalone ECU to tune at all.

You know as a Toyota head I’m surprised people didn’t take to the 2GR as it was the 2J’s replacement. Lol. But that’s a whole other discussion for another time

That's why I didn't say cheap and easy 😉 😂

Pretty common with Toyota. Lol

Ill be satisfied with suspension upgrades and FBO with a piggyback tune until warranty is expired and then gonna throw big money into it.
