GR Yaris Archives - Brochureshub

This year, Toyota celebrates 51 years since its first victory in the World Rally Championship (WRC), and on that occasion it revealed the GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition. It is a version of their most powerful B-segment car, which will be offered only to Italian customers.

The GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition will be powered by a 1.5-L turbocharged engine with 280 hp (206 kW), mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a GR-Four system that sends power to all four wheels. It sits on a set of 18-inch forged wheels in Heritage Gold wrapped in semi-slick Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires.

The car has a white body with red decals and a livery inspired by the car that took the first WRC victory at the Press On Regardless Rally in Michigan, the Corolla 1600 Coupe. The car has a unique plate with the TGR Italy logo and the number of the copy. It is equipped with the Tech Package that includes parking sensors, a blind spot monitoring system and a rear traffic warning system with automatic braking.

Toyota will produce only 51 cars and each will cost 67,500 euros. The first deliveries are expected by the end of this year, and those who want to pre-order the car must pay a deposit of 2,500 euros.

The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota has a small but really powerful car in its fleet, the GR Yaris, which thanks to LamSpeed Racing has become a beast with more than 1,000 hp.

The standard GR Yaris is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-L three-cylinder engine with 261 hp (195 kW). LamSpeed Racing tested the car on a wheelless dyno and recorded 899 hp (670 kW) and 572 lb-ft (776 Nm) of torque. However, since LamSpeed makes a conservative estimate of at least 11.3 percent power loss between the crankshaft and the hubs, it comes to a figure over 1,000 hp.

The G16E-GTS engine reached maximum power at 8,730 rpm and torque at 7,701 rpm. However, the question is, can this power be realized on wheels?
