2023 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR Corolla and GR Yaris photos.
Unlike other Toyota models, its Gazoo Racing–developed hatchbacks are built with a unique motorsports-oriented manufacturing process.
Toyota employs a turntable in the back of its factory in Motomachi, Japan, to redirect finished GR Corolla and Yaris models without the need to turn their steering wheels.
Once assembled, the GR Corolla and GR Yaris undergo an exhaustive array of quality-control and verifications steps.
The assembly process for the GR Corolla and GR Yaris is largely inspired by motorsports, particularly Gazoo Racing's World Rally Championship efforts.
Autonomous tugs built into the floor, rather than overhead conveyors, move this GR Yaris body shell among assembly stations.
Welding the body shell in a single jig gives the GR Corolla greater chassis precision than regular models.
Matched chassis components await installation.
Human hands attach the GR Corolla’s door hinges.
Although robots handle the welding of the body shells for the GR Corolla and GR Yaris, human workers perform quality checks and minor finishing work.
