Toyota AirSports Corolla

Designed exclusively for high-performance aerobatics, the Toyota AirSports Corolla Demonstration Aircraft was custom-built in Germany by Walter Extra. Powered by a 540 cubic inch, 300+ horsepower Lycoming engine built by Penn Yan Aero, the Toyota AirSports Corolla can fly straight up for more than 3,000 feet and fly at speeds in excess of 250 mph. The carbon fiber graphite wing and fuselage are stronger, yet lighter, than aircraft made from wood or metal. This combination of light weight and high strength allows the pilots to pull high "G's" and roll the Toyota AirSports Corolla more than 400 degrees in just one second!
