Take a look at this amazingly cool Toyota Corolla Axio GT300. The GT300 was unveiled
in front of a horde of photographers, including the good folks at
NihonCar, during the 2009 Tokyo AutoSalon.
Over 150 kg was trimmed off the world's number one selling sedan,
bringing weight down to about 1,100 kg (2,425 lbs). Putting the car
on a tube-frame chassis helped to cut the fat. It was then fitted
with a 3.5-liter 2GR-FSE V6 engine, producing 296 hp, and mated to
a sequential race transmission. The GT300 also has a new suspension
system, fit for a race track.
You will get a chance to see more of this car, as it participates
in the 2009 Super GT series. The first race in the Japan Automobile
Federation Super GT Championship takes place on March 22 in
Okayama.
Make sure you check out the NihonCar source link at the top of this
article. They have a whole bunch of cool pics.
