Watch the video below to get a sneak peek into the powerful Toyota GR Yaris:
The all-new GR Yaris Rally, Toyota's first genuine GR-Four all-wheel drive sports car, is inspired by the company's title-winning performance in the one and only World Rally Championship.
The vehicle delivers motorsports technology and designs straight to the average motorist, allowing them the chance to immediately experience the true essence of Toyota Gazoo Racing. This is in keeping with the Toyota Gazoo Racing philosophy of building ever-better automobiles.
In addition to delivering an impressive rally-inspired 198kW of power, the GR Yaris races from 0 to 100 in a whopping 5.5 seconds and produces 360Nm of torque. Turbocharged and raring to go, it can also go on to a top speed of 230 kilometres per hour.
Epitomising optimised power for the serious racer, the distribution of torque between the front and rear axles is governed by a high-response coupling, but the driver is always in control. By merely turning the 4WD mode dial, the driver can modify the four-wheel drive performance to fit their preferences or the driving environment. All of your senses are appropriately stimulated.
The GR Yaris range comprises two models, each with a 1.6l turbocharged engine with the Rally version offering additional safety, styling, and convenience features.
In our opinion At Gazoo Racing, races help the breed develop. Because of this, Gazoo Racing-improved road cars like the GR Yaris Rally represent the accomplishments of Toyota's victories at some of the most demanding motorsport competitions, like the Dakar Rally, the 24 hours of Le Mans, and the World Rally Championship.
Its compact and lightweight, 1.6l, 3-cylinder, DOHC 12-valve engine incorporates competition-honed technologies such as a single-scroll ball bearing turbocharger, multi-oil jet piston cooling, a part-machined intake port and a large diameter exhaust.
Getting you ready to win, the new GR Yaris is well equipped and aerodynamically styled with cutting-edge features like:
The 10-spoke, forged alloy wheels on the GR Yaris Rally are fitted with high-performance tyres. It may be identified by the addition of red brake callipers with the GR logo, grooved front brake discs, plus Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.
All of the headlights, including the Auto High Beam feature, are LED-powered, as are the fog lamps, daytime running lights, and daytime running lights. Auto High Beam automatically lowers the main beams when it detects an approaching vehicle up ahead and returns them to the main beam as soon as it is safe to do so.
Serving aggressive looks, the strong, coupé-like profile can be seen when the GR Yaris Rally is viewed from the side. It has a three-door body, a sleekly slung roof that is painted black, frameless doors, and a body with no rear doors. Also, the side mirrors are heated, foldable, and electronically adjustable to provide a clear vision at all times.
