“Thank you for breaking it" is the catchphrase of this car for a reason. Breaking the GR Yaris over the years in sport rallies meant the discovery of new problems for Toyota engineers to solve. It has been a vehicle that has been constantly refined through the accumulation of experience and technology, and the mindset of taking risks and taking on challenges in order to improve in making ever-better cars.
As a car with the GR-Four brand, the GR Yaris inherits the four-wheel-drive DNA of Toyota sports cars. It was created to deliver the excitement and technology of motorsports to a wider audience. By comparing driving data, the Toyota engineers have been able to understand the difference in each driver’s perceptions and build a car that is tailored for drivers.
By analyzing the engine usage range in WRC competitions, GR Yaris has achieved a highly responsive engine with power output that meets expectations in all situations. We were also able to improve output and torque by applying load until the pistons and other parts broke down and analyzing the engine's maximum performance.
This is a new model of automatic transmission that allows the driver to focus on steering, acceleration, and brakes without the distraction of having to shift gears manually, expanding the enjoyment of sports driving.
Pushing the iMT button puts the six-speed iMT on standby. Whenever a gear change is detected in that state, the system modulates the engine speed following the gear change to make shifting gears smoother.
The GR Yaris's meticulously tuned suspension delivers extremely agile handling under a wide range of conditions, from winding roads to racing circuits.
Appropriate torque distribution to the left and right drive wheels during cornering improves traction performance, resulting in sharp and responsive acceleration out of corners.
By providing instant control of torque distribution to all four wheels in all road conditions and optimizing the torque applied to the front and rear wheels, the GR Yaris responds with sharper cornering and vehicle behavior that better reflects the driver's intent.
The hood, both doors, and the rear hatch are made from aluminum. The roof is made from C-SMC*, ensuring that the body is extremely lightweight with a low center of gravity.
The lower part of the rear bumper has openings for air to vent through the bumper, which improves handling stability and dissipates heat more efficiently.
The side lower grilles have air intakes to improve cooling performance, and outflowing air vents have been installed on the sides of the bumper to dissipate heat from the sub-radiator and automatic transmission fluid cooler.
The GR Yaris's braking system offers high rigidity and fade resistance, excellent heat dissipation and cooling, and a consistent braking force. The use of a drum-style parking brake also enables precise vehicle control.
