Toyota has committed to a new petrol engine in the Corolla that will «offer substantially more power and
torque than the current car while requiring even less fuel».
He's not ready to talk about specifications yet; all we know is the turbo four makes 40 percent more
torque than the current car's V6, which pumps out 252 pound - feet.

The GT3 RS's naturally aspirated 4 - litre flat - six is carried over from the previous - generation
car (and the
current GT3), with power increasing by 20bhp to 513bhp at 8450rpm (200rpm higher
than its predecessor) and
torque rising by 7 lb ft to 346 lb ft.. There's a new titanium exhaust with 91 mm diameter pipes, a revised intake system and a new engine management system that account for the slightest of gains in the sprints (at 3.2 seconds it's a tenth quicker
than the old
car to 62mph) but will have a bigger impact on the
car's as - yet - undisclosed Nürburgring lap time.
The
torque is believed to remain 1500 Nm but it will be coming in at a lower rpm
than the
current car.
This, with a marginal lift in power, if not
torque, could see the A110's 0 - 100 km / h acceleration time fall from the
current car's 4.5 seconds to less
than four seconds.
Factor in the additional extra power and
torque and its lighter underpinnings and the baby GTI should hit 100km / h in around 6.5 seconds — 0.2 secs faster
than the
current car.
