Toyota Corolla WRC

Automobiles

The Toyota Corolla WRC is a World Rally Car that Toyota Motorsport GmbH built for the Toyota Castrol Team to compete in the World Rally Championship. It is based on the E110 Toyota Corolla three-door hatchback and uses a modified 3S-GTE turbocharged engine producing 223 kilowatts, with four-wheel drive taken from the Celica GT-Four ST205 that it replaced. It made its debut at the 1997 Rally Finland with Didier Auriol and Marcus Grönholm driving. Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya gave it its first victory at the 1998 Monte Carlo Rally, and the car won four rallies in all, the last being the 1999 China Rally, along with the 1999 World Manufacturers title, before Toyota stopped rallying to prepare for Formula One.
