In Brazil, Toyota Corolla is called ‘Vovorolla’. In Japan, someone told Toyota’s president, Mr. Akio Toyoda, that his cars are good, reliable, but unsalted, with poor design and poor performance.

And his Toyoda felt, he says, humiliated. And then he decided to revolutionize his cars, took a driving course, entered some competitions, called his designers and engineers and said he wanted cars with modern design and a lot of performance.

The result is there. Three cars with turbocharged V8 engines. The GR GT, the GR GT3 for competitions, and a concept from Lexus, its luxury brand, the LFA.
