Toyota Yaris GRMN limited edition

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.

Toyota Supra worth almost $ 300,000

The Toyota Supra always attracts a lot of attention. One such unit sold for $ 201,000 last summer. The price could be surpassed if the Illinois dealer realizes his plan and gets the asking price for his 1993 Toyota Supra.

The body is painted in Anthracite. The car does not have a rear spoiler and the roof can be removed. With only 9,638 miles (15,511 km), it will surely attract the attention of fans of this Toyota model, and Diamond Motor Works of Lisle is the second owner.

The Toyota Supra is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter 2JZ six-cylinder engine with 321 hp (236 kW). The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

The highest price, when it comes to the Toyota Supra, was achieved by the unit from the movie “The Fast and the Furious”, driven by actor Paul Walker. The car was sold for $ 550,000.

Whether this Toyota Supra is really worth $ 299,800 or the owner just wanted to get attention, we don’t know. Any how, he made it.
