The GR Corolla Rally Concept takes inspiration from the GR Yaris Rally1 WRC car to transform the 2023 GR Corolla Circuit Edition into an off-road machine. This uses the same in-line-three engine as the GR Yaris, while its carbon-fiber bodykit makes the vehicle lightweight and aerodynamic.

The 10-Second Twins are a pair of GR Supras tuned for drag racing with a budget of $10,000 (P587,000.00) for modifications. To achieve a quarter-mile time of 10.984 seconds, parts such as a single turbo and CSF high-performance intercoolers were installed for more power.
