It’s race weekend again and the Idemitsu 25 Hours Super Endurance race is happening at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. Today is the qualifying round, with actual race days set to happen over this weekend (17- to 18-December). In addition to the usual race-prepped Toyota Corolla Altis and Toyota Vios, the list of participants include two cars that stand out: a Toyota GR Corolla bearing #232 and a Toyota GR86 with #328. One of the drivers for #232 is Akio Toyoda (Morizo), whi

It’s a not so open secret, but UMW Toyota Motor has just confirmed the company will be launching 3 high performance GR models in 2023. The first on the list is the Toyota GR 86, suggesting that this will be the first of the trio to be launched. The second generation of the Toyota-Subaru now wears the GR badge.

As we venture further into Q2 of 2021 with several launches already taken place earlier this year, let’s continue looking forwards to upcoming cars that are slated to be launched in Malaysia sometime in 2021. Do note that some of the cars mentioned are based on prediction, with varying levels of possibility. With that out of the way, let us crack on.

Toyota is currently on a roll, slapping its Gazoo Racing badge on new models, including on the Yaris, creating the stonking little Toyota GR Yaris in the process. Now, if a report from overseas is to be believed, then it looks like the next recipient of the hallowed GR badging is the next-generation Toyota 86. But before you get confused, keep in mind that Toyota has two GR badges - GR for performance-oriented models and GR Sport is for cars with slight chassis upgrades but with limited-to-no-ch

The beauty of the automotive world is that cars, they come in all shapes and sizes. This is no different for the enthusiasts looking for something that makes their hearts skip a beat. There are many ways for us to get our kicks from. For example, on one end of the spectrum, you have the hot hatch of hot hatches, the VW Golf GTI. On the other, you have the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ. These two cars are as divergent as they come. Yet they bring driving pleasure in their own unique ways. How do I know? I
