The Appeal
The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Circuit Edition is a performance-bred hatchback powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivering 300hp and 273lb-ft of torque through a six-speed manual transmission. Its defining mechanical feature is the GR-FOUR AWD system, which includes standard front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials and a selectable torque split for street, track, or sport driving. Visually, you can identify the Circuit Edition by the forged carbon fibre roof, a vented bulge bonnet, and a large gloss-black rear spoiler, all sitting on 18-inch wheels with red brake callipers. Inside, the cabin is upgraded with Brin Naub suede-trimmed heated sport seats, a heated steering wheel, and an eight-speaker JBL premium audio system.
This 2023 example was first registered in Japan before being imported and UK-registered in March 2026. Finished in Heavy Metal Grey Metallic with gloss black accents, it presents with a purposeful, aggressive stance. Having covered 13,077 km, it is accompanied by its maintenance history, including a recent service in February 2026, and is described by the vendor as being in very good condition for its age and mileage, with no known faults. With an advisory-free MOT valid until February 2027, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Toyota’s most acclaimed modern performance cars in a highly desirable specification.
