Supercharged Toyota Corolla S3

[Soloman]

It’s not everyday you get to use the words supercharged and Corolla in the same sentence, so excuse me if I keep repeating myself. Toyota has shown-off a supercharged Toyota Corolla at SEMA.

Powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder supercharged engine, the Corolla S3 is purely a show car with no plans for production. Nonetheless, it does prove a point, even a Corolla can be interesting.

With a massive front-mount intercooler, 20″ chrome wheels riding on lowered springs and with the supercharger whine helped along with a sports exhaust (with a dual pipe muffler), Toyota obviously understands the need for performance variants to attract younger buyers. So why is it then, that this is just a concept?

TRD Australia should be looking at a tuned Corolla. Surely if there is a market for a front-wheel-drive supercharged Aurion, there is bound to be one for the Corolla.

I guess it shows the new sedan has alot of potential, in terms of looks anyway.

The sedan is for cheap people like me who want to look like they're in a Camry without paying for one. :P

My first impression was that it looked great, but on closer inspection, I'm not so sure.

Take out the i/c, put normal rims on... and it's a plain Jane.

BUT who cares when you hear the sound of a s/c spooling up??

That is sooooooo freekin PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might be a stocker once you take away the rims and cooler but the colour, ride height and silver grille are all subtle features that set it off and make it look so right :) :) :) ...
