Corolla Sportivo TURBO

60 were available...

"The car features a turbocharged 1.8 litre Twin Cam Multi-valve engine and delivers 115kW of power at 5600rpm and 237Nm of torque at 3600rpm."

That isn't much is it?

And where are those owners???

I think its talking about the old model i think in 2001 they were gold...

yep, the 2001 Gold Sportivo's, they had a nice amount of torque down low for day to day driving. 237Nm V's the new sportivo's 180Nm.

They could really do with some stronger internals and a better turbo though, then they would be a lot faster. A little more boost on the stock setup gives a fairly large performance increase though, like most turbo cars.

I'm using a 7a as the basis for my next corolla powerplant and expect 140-150kw ATW from it with a sensible amount of boost.
