Curator’s note

A homologation special in the old tradition, born from Toyota’s World Rally Championship programme.

The GR Yaris shares little more than its name with the everyday Yaris. Its three-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo makes 261 PS, and the GR-Four system can shift drive between the axles, giving it the feel of a road-going rally car.

  • Rally-bred GR-Four all-wheel drive
  • Carbon-fibre roof and aluminium panels
  • Three-door body unique to the GR Yaris
  • Built on a dedicated GR Factory line

The story

Toyota GR Yaris

Toyota built the GR Yaris so its World Rally Championship team would have a road car to base future rally machinery on. Akio Toyoda pushed for a car developed with input from its WRC drivers.

The three-door body is lower than the regular Yaris at the rear to help airflow over the roof, and the G16E-GTS was the most powerful three-cylinder engine in production at launch.
