Toyota heavily modified a 2017 Corolla for SEMA and I'd just like to point out a few things about it that may interest you guys:
- converted from a 4 door to a 2 door coupe (the frame wasn't shortened though since they just removed the rear doors)
- has a turbo 2ZR-FAE with a 6 speed manual swap
- demon eye Multi-LED headlights
- 4 Piston Wilwood Racing calipers with bigger, drilled and slotted racing rotors
- custom built exhaust

There are much more things that are on the SEMA Corolla but these are just some things that caught my eye the most. I'm pretty sure though that either this is a Corolla SE with a 2ZR-FAE with the 6 speed manual attached to it or a Corolla LE ECO with the 6 speed manual swapped on it and an exterior panels from a SE. If it's a Corolla SE, they could be hinting that the 2ZR-FAE will be replacing the 2ZR-FE in the next generation of Corolla especially since the 2015 TRD Concept Corolla also had a 2ZR-FAE with a 6 speed manual attached to it.













It seems that even Toyota is boosting the Corolla as well... ;)

I wouldn't read too far into it considering they also made a land cruiser with 2000bhp and two volleyball size garrett turbos.

But still, it's a glimmer of hope, and a pretty neat design exercise.

Toyota Converts Corolla Sedan into Jaw-Dropping Coupe

TORRANCE, Calif., (November 1, 2016)—Globally, Toyota sells approximately 1.5 million Corollas a year, but the world has never seen anything like the one-of-a-kind XTREME Corolla unveiled during Toyota’s press conference this morning at the 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.

BUILD VISION AND INSPIRATION – Toyota teamed up with Jeremy Lookofsky of Cartel Customs to create this XTREME Corolla. No stone was left unturned in the dynamic design of the XTREME Corolla. Even the interior has been retrofitted with a one-of-a-kind floating center console and an extensive JBL audio system. The build pays tribute to the heritage of the iconic brand while taking cues from the sport compact genre. This transformation is most evidenced by the conversion of the car from a 4-door sedan to a 2-door sports coupe. Designed to turn heads, this XTREME Corolla clearly demonstrates that Corollas can be functional and cool at the same time.
