Yes, we don’t get the GR Yaris here in the states, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t get excited about Toyota teasing the possibility of an even faster Yaris.
Toyota Gazoo Racing announced today that it will exhibit at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, scheduled for January 14-16.
Explaining the brand’s goals to “offer ever-better motorsports-bred cars,” the …
And here are both cars lightened up a bit so you can see them better:
Not sure about everyone else, but I'm seeing a lot of AMG GT in that GT3 concept
as if the Yaris GR wasn't already "tuned"
Rumors, from friends who work at Toyota, are that they Yaris has nearly 300hp and awd. A wrx fighter.
In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :
The GR Yaris is rated at 270 hp and HKS has tuned one to 475 hp, so 300 with a warranty is believable.
The GT3 looks interesting, will it be based on a model that isn't sold overseas?
If the GT has the IS500 heart, I'll be a fan. And I'd already take a stock Yaris GR over a WRX. There are some subtle items, lower valance, that suggest a tarmac focused variant.
GT looks kind of like the Mazda Vision Coupe concept from a few years ago with a big wing tacked on.
I would still do financially irresponsible things to get a GR Yaris.

Ask them about the GR Corolla. I keep hearing mixed bags on what we will actually get over here. Even the teaser shots from Toyota have mixed signals.

I'd go full stupid dumb financially to get one!
Was even considering emigrating to Mexico by golly dammit LOL but they sold their 300 car allotment like instantly.
so Jealous 
much heartbreak
699,900 Mexican Pesos = 34,348 US Dollars
Toyota is absolutely killin' it these days.

Have you seen their new Initial D ads for the GR86?
Thanks for sharing, I had not seen it.
Very cool commercial that is, love it!
I've never read the comic, maybe I should because I've heard talk that it's much better than the cartoon, and I loved the cartoon!
New hero MF Ghost rides GR86 and that comic seems to be popular enough, and the anime version will soon be out.
Looks like the GRMN Yaris was spotted a few months ago where you'd expect, even predicted the expected hp.

A road-racing variant Yaris seems like a great idea but they don't have enough doors to meet TCR regs, which still require 4 doors I believe?
There's been at least 2 that have set tire upon American soil.
Couple months back Doug Demuro was loaned one for review from Mexico where the owner drove across the border.
The other is this video posted early December, dunno the story behind it?
First thing I'd do is get a proper exhaust if I owned one, cannot abide that artificial sound.
Is the new Yaris based on the Mazda Demio/2?
In reply to vwcorvette (Forum Supporter) :
Shouldn't be. The Toyota-badged 2 is a US only thing, ROW got a Toyota. (I think even Canada got a Toyota)
I wish Toyota would stop fooling around and unveil the Corolla GR.
In reply to NickD :
It's a regular Corolla with some plastic skirts, and red/silver/white backsplash on the infotainment screen, is my guess.
GT3 concpet revealed.
I'm getting Mercedes AMG GT3 vibes from this, and I like that car too. Since GT3 is going to replace the GTE class at Le Mans, maybe Toyota will compete in 2 classes at the 24?
Japanese AMG GT for sure

It's supposed to get the Yaris GR turbo powerplant and AWD system. I just hope it doesn't gain 500 lbs over the Yaris. That would definitely spoil the party. I think 250lbs would be acceptable.
GT3 on display but underwrap's yet from Speedhunters.
