Available to import to North America in 15-25 years.
https://www.motor1.com/news/386025/toyota-yaris-gr-teaser-video/Toyota isn't yet confirming anything about the Yaris GR-4's powertrain, but what the company is showing looks very exciting. In the teaser video, the engine has a deep burble and seems to do an all-wheel-drive launch. A report from Japan suggests the hot hatch packs a turbocharged three-cylinder powerplant. However, there are also allegedly competition versions with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder for the WRC R5 class and All Japan Rally Championship.
How much in USD are you willing to pay for this hot Corolla?I would take the hot Corolla over the hot Yaris.
That's the thing. The regular buying public in the US would be more likely to pay the higher entry price of a GR Corolla than a GR Yaris.That is Type R price. I would pay Type R price for that GR Yaris rally homologation special. There is NO WAY I would pay 40k for GR Corolla. I don't think this GR Corolla will be as hard core as the Type R.
AWD should be on the table.Unless I missed it, I don’t think AWD is being considered. But if it is, I agree, that’s going to be pricy.
Yeah, but the Yaris is still a tiny sub-compact. Some of us want more Focus ST than Fiesta ST.Y'all crazy!
Corolla?
No ain't a feeling!
:facepalm:
Yaris GR-4
Yes, it got feels!
If the racing version will be short lived it doesn't bode a long production run for the road car either. Instant collectors car.... Why did you launch a car that should only be used for one season before the arrival of a hybrid WRC?
We have to see how the new regulations will evolve. Initially, with what had been decided by the world commission, there was not a lot of changes to make between the car of 2021 and that of 2022. We hoped to take the Yaris WRC 2021 to develop that of 2022. However , it appears that there are discussions again and that does not seem good. We are really very disappointed.
That is to say that you could not use this Yaris 2021 for 2022? Would you have to develop yet another car?
The 2022 regulations seemed very close to those of 2021 except for the installation of batteries and the hybridization system. That would have required us to modify only part of the car… but now we are wondering. The issue has been reopened and we have no idea whether it will be good or not. I have no idea what that means. What I do know, however, is that to develop an entirely new WRC for 2022, the deadline is very short. The 2021 version takes many things from the current one. There are several elements and subjects common to the two cars and yet it took us a long time to build the 2021. If we were to achieve a completely new WRC, I think we would have to get even more resources and I don't know where we could find them ...
Interview by Loïc Rocci
The rally version is in trouble as FIA has changed the details of the guideline for 2022. Remains to be seen how this will unfold.

TL;DR: The fun is over, this is now a Prius thread.
This appears to be testing a tarmac spec GR-4,
possibly for a Japanese racing series?

:thumbup::beer: Yeah, I was very interested in that one because it was s/c.Note sure if it was mentioned but Europe got a cool Yaris GRMS a while ago. Very cool supercharged variant. FANTASTIC reviews. Another cool hatch we do not have.
Toyota put a lot of effort into the GR Yaris . The powerful turbo three-cylinder engine and the all-wheel drive were newly developed especially for the power dwarf. With 261 hp and 350 Nm, the three-door car is significantly stronger than its predecessor, the Yaris GRMN . Nevertheless, it will only cost a good 3000 euros more than its predecessor!
GR-4 = €33,200
