The Ford Mustang Dark Horse rings up at $66,075, the Acura Integra Type S at $55,195, the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing (assuming you can find a new one) at $65,395, and the Audi S5 at $65,595.

Or, you could throw caution to the wind and buy the limited-production 2026 Toyota GRMN Corolla, which the brand has announced will cost $65,655.ToyotaThe motorsports-inspired GR Corolla is the most intense version yet of the compact track weapon. Toyota says the GRMN Corolla was developed using lessons learned in the Super Taikyu racing series in Japan, and that the model was built so "drivers can confidently push it to the limit at the Nürburgring."AdvertisementAdvertisementThe GRMN version gets a new carbon-fiber hood with additional horizontally-oriented ducting placed in front of the vents already found on the GR Corolla Premium Plus. That venting supplements aggressive carbon-fiber fender ducts and front side spoilers that adorn the GRMN. The changes at the front are matched at the rear with an adjustable spoiler, which can switch between five positions set at one-degree intervals.Toyota also revamped the suspension system, with different front and rear monotube dampers with rebound springs. According to Toyota, these give the inner wheel more traction while cornering, while the reworked bump stops work to manage the Nürburgring's harsh pavement.The electric power steering and all-wheel drive system are overhauled too, with the latter providing more rear torque distribution in a straight line and enhancing stability when steering is introduced at high speeds. There's also a bit more oomph, as Toyota increased the peak engine torque to 302 pound-feet, up from 295.ToyotaThe GRMN also gains a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which were previously exclusive to the limited-production GR Corolla Morizo edition. The driver and front passenger benefit from semi-bucket sport seats, while the rear passengers, well, there shouldn't be any of those on account of Toyota removing the rear seats to save 66 pounds.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe GRMN Corolla is scheduled to arrive later this summer, and Toyota will restrict production to just 730 units globally. As a slight offset for the high sticker price, Toyota will include a one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) as well as one free session of high-performance driving instruction with the purchase of the GRMN.➡️ Skip the lot.
