Overview
While Toyota was absent from the World Rally Championship before 2017, private teams and regional outfits kept the brand alive in rallying through cars like the Corolla S2000. Based on the proven Corolla platform and built to FIA Super 2000 rules, it featured a naturally aspirated 2.0L engine, sequential gearbox, and AWD system. These cars were fielded in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific events, often in national championships and FIA regional series.
