Toyota's new “GR Yaris” will be unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon 2020 in January.
“GR Yaris” is the second model launched globally from “GR” models, Toyota Gazoo Racing’s (TGR) sports car lineup, following last year’s return of the legendary Toyota GR Supra*.
"TGR has developed people and cars by driving the world’s roads, competing in a series of demanding races in a variety of categories," a Toyota press release stated.
"What’s more, we re-entered the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in 2017. TGR claimed five wins in the 2018 season and took the manufacturer’s title and Driver’s and Co-driver’s title in the season of 2019."
The GR Yaris is an all-new sports car—a car that incorporates all the technologies, knowledge, and experience learned from the manufacturer in the WRC.
Toyota’s president, under his TGR Master Driver code name "Morizo," has just performed the final test of the car, pushing it to its furthermost limits.
Ahead of the world premiere at Tokyo Auto Salon, the car will be camouflaged in the signature red-black-and-white TGR colours, and will make its first official dynamic appearance at the Japan TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Festival on December 15.
Further details of the car’s specifications will be announced in due course.
