Toyota recently unveiled a limited edition Yaris GRMN. The car is the work of the Gazoo Racing department and will be produced in just 500 examples. It will be offered only to customers in Japan, which was not the case with the most powerful and fastest Yaris GRMN of the previous generation that could be bought in Europe.

The car is lighter with a lot of carbon fiber. It is equipped with adaptive suspension (Bilstein), stronger brakes, specially made 18-inch wheels and front profiled seats in a dark cabin. An optional Circuit package will also be available.

Toyota Yaris GRMN is powered by a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo engine with 268 hp (200 kW) and 287 lb-ft (390 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a six-speed manual transmission (iMT).

Delivery of the Yaris GRMN will begin earlier this summer. For potential buyers of the Yaris GR offered in Europe, Toyota has confirmed that it will optionally offer some of the components used by the Yaris GRMN at the end of the year.

Toyota Supra with manual gearbox

The fifth generation Supra is currently only offered with the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. However, it has long been rumored that the Toyota Supra will be available in combination with a manual transmission, which the latest information confirms.

This news should delight fans of traditional solutions who do not want a fast Japanese two-seater with automatic transmission. According to some predictions, a 6-speed manual transmission will be offered in the Supra with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine. This could be expected if we consider that BMW offers the same gearbox with the Z4 model that uses the same engine.

Toyota will soon present a special edition Supra GRMN powered by a BMW M3 / M4 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque, and a more powerful version with 503 hp (370 kW) ) and 479 lb-ft (659 Nm) of torque.
