NEW Toyota GR Yaris! Incredible Homologation Rally Car
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- I feel like I've been waiting to experience the Toyota GR Yaris ever since rumours of the car started to circulate a few years ago. Thanks to Toyota UK, I finally got my chance.
When Toyota announced its return to the World Rally Championship in 2015, the concept of building a rally-inspired sports car was part of the plan. The vision was to take technical knowledge and experience from the highest level of international competition and apply them to a new road car that is also suitable for competition driving, and an affordable proposition
for customers.
GR Yaris is built on a unique platform, combining Toyota’s new GA-B platform (which debuted on the new generation Yaris hatchback) and a rear section adapted from the GA-C platform used for the Corolla and C-HR models. The rally team emphasised the importance of light weight and this is reflected in the use of aluminium body panels and a forged carbon
composite roof in the body structure, and scrutiny of how weight could be reduced in parts throughout the car.
The engine is also all-new, a 1.6-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged unit. It is the world’s most powerful three-cylinder engine and also the smallest and lightest 1.6 turbo. Producing 257bhp/192kW and 360 Nm of torque, it complies with WRC2 technical regulations and can launch GR Yaris from rest to 62mph in just 5.5 seconds, and on to an electronically limited
top speed of 143mph. Its construction makes use of features derived directly from motor sport, including a ball bearing turbocharger, large-diameter exhaust valves and multi-jet oil piston cooling.

Me (while talking to my missus): "Just popping out in the GR Yaris to grab some bread and milk, and some WAAAAAH!"
Missus: "Some what now?"
Me: "Some WAAAAAH!, it's all the rage these days, even Sam from Seen Through Glass is grabbing some WAAAAAH!"
Missus: "Whatever...."
Haha! Yes!! Waaaaaah t shirts coming soon
Ladies and Gentlemen..what do you think about this electric Supercar...? 🔥😎👉 Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 Vega EVX 0 -100 kmph in just 3 seconds. th-cam.com/video/P0LJ3bJ0Cd0/w-d-xo.html
Haha what the hell is WAHHHHHHHHH😂
Need this in the USA.
Hahaha i need some waaaah! In my life 😂
I can't believe as a V8 guy, I'm in love with a 3 cylinder. I already have 3 cars, 1 awd, but I really want one. And I should support a manufacturer who have the balls to make a car like this.
Turbo inline-3 engines sound incredible... wish these would replace inline 4 engines that are so prevalent.
Every car enthusiast should be grateful that a CEO like Akio Toyoda is leading one of the biggest car companies in the world. He loves motorsports and ever since he took over, Toyota came with the GT86, Supra and now, the GR Yaris. We ought to pay respect to him. He even competed in Mazda's 4 hour endurance race in Tsukuba in the current ND generation MX-5 last year - yes you read that right, search "Bromance between Presidents of Toyota and Mazda runs deep, exchange letters revealed" on google. He even praised Mazda for building the MX-5 in a tough niche market and said that all car companies ought to look at how Mazda develop their products, especially the Roadster.
@@smilepermile888 Not to mention small victories like Corolla sedan and hatch available in 6-speed manual.
@@Thirsty_Fox Yes, I agree with you. We should be grateful of that as well!
@@Thirsty_Fox It's funny everything but the ubiquitous 4 pot sounds more appealing lol
Next video: *Selling my Abarth for a Yaris*
If he doesn't do that, he's a moron. The Abarth is probably the least desirable hot hatch out there while this is a proper rally homologation!
Haha, but I’m excited by my Abarth project
@@seenthroughglass But the Yaris... Name another car in this size which has BOTH a manual transmission AND 4WD? I think you gotta go all the way back to the Group B homologations, right?
@@Sabroe_ffs I’m sorry?!! As cool as the GR Yaris is, I want an Abarth 595 like what Sam’s got right now! They are SO SWEET AND SO FUN!
@@Sabroe_ffs what? Abarths are amazing
Never thought I'd be excited by a 3 cylinders hatch ! Well done Toyota ! We need more homologation specials ! Incredible content as always, Thanks Sam !
Totally true! Thanks for tuning in
When Toyota really wants to do it. They blow minds.
This car was actually R&D Developed in Germany by Gazoo Racing operations. The Head of development is just some guy called Tommy Makinen, an 4 time WRC world Champion!
Why do I suddenly want a Yaris as my dream daily? How is this me? WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!
I mean, everyone should want THIS Yaris
@@seenthroughglass Very true!
Same here! Would not think i ever buy a Toyota. But next to my Porsche GT4, its gets the perfect winter car.
@@goshitsful You will get Japanese reliability for one. It will outlast all your german cars.
@@seenthroughglass just out of curiosity, you mentioned its not a competitor to the rs which i get but how does ut drive compared to an rs especially considering the price? I get the feeling its much better, just slower in a straight line. Toyota really do amazing things when they want to.
This has to be the best looking Toyota Yaris I've ever seen.
What
Have a look at one with the Rocket Bunny body kit, makes it look what it is, crazy!!
This Yaris is everything the new Supra is not. Like being a REAL Toyota!
Guess the McLaren F1 isn't a real McLaren then with that BMW engine? Or Aston Martin aren't real Aston Martin with Mercedes engines?
Maybe you're just salty because you can't afford one?
Oh no but the Supra is based on a very shitty car, right?
@@dannyd7714 its not just the engine, the car is basically a hard top BMW Z4
@@ulrikberge9061 that's wrong but ok
@@alwaysiyi272 it’s not wrong at all, if you do some research you’ll find he is 100% correct. It is pretty much a BMW Z4 that’s just been lightly modified and had a different body and wheels put on. Engine is BMW, interior+infotainment is BMW. Suspension components are BMW. Brakes are BMW. BMW stickers all over the thing. Search for “ThatDudeInBlue” for his hands on with the new Supra, he explains it pretty well.
This is the first Japanese car i want to buy since 2009 when the GT-R came out.
Makes sense
Not even the evo 9 or 10?
1991 ST185/205 was the last for me...
I quite like the GT86, but I see what you're saying.
@@DavidMBanes Don't they have the tendency to understeer a lot from the factory?
Think it just needs an exhaust then it'll be perfect
And some rally fog lights 😅👌
Yes it does, like some pops like rally cars does 🤔
The aftermarket for this car will be wild
Could be right
I really hope the aftermarket goes wild! But moreso that Toyota actually make more than 25,000 of these
no need to drive one in japan sam there racing headquarters are in Cologne, Germany
Good point matey
@@seenthroughglass no problem mate, rallying has always been 1 of my favorite forms of motorsport after F1 and toyota built that site for its F1 & le mans attacks years ago, great video keep them coming
Actually big part of Yaris GR is developed in Finland in a company run by Tommi Mäkinen. Right place to learn GRs DNA is to come central Finland around Jyväskylä, where Finnish WRC race is held. ;)
It not even in Finland anymore, it’s mostly all been moved to Tallinn, Estonia
Produced at the Lexus plant in Japan..
Sam your enthusiasm is very infectious. Watching this a bit later than i normally would for some reason it didn't come up in my notifications but i am so glad that i did. Cheers mate 👍
90s Castrol livery is what it needs 👌🏼
Omg yes that would be perfect!
schmee 150 is doing that....
I was looking forward to this!
In love with the car since they announced it, now let's lay back and enjoy this :D
So happy about the shot you did and the excitement you got to test drive it. I watch your videos for few years and this one is on my podium !
I own an Audi S1 and I’m so excited about this car, I’m pretty sure this will replace my pocket rocket 🚀
So good for swiss alps
Thanks for great content, and very creative visual appeal. The still shots, staged in amazing surroundings and very appealing B-Roll adds another dimension. congratulations on your new atelier HQ.
It has had the magic touch of the rally legend Tommi Makkinen 👍
That shot of you skidding was beautiful. Superb presentation. Superb content. Loved it!
Whow first time I’ve seen one of your vids your enthusiasm is addictive just subscribed
My Yaris GRMN says I can’t have one. And I love my GRMN.
Mine too
But Yaris gr is fast :D
Never mind is inline4 is better the. 3 colinder
I hope you enjoy your GRMN for years, keep servicing like you should and you'll have a great car for a long time.
The grmn version of this may come probably not grmn. But there was an article where they were testing an upgraded yaris with 300hp and a big wing at rhe rear
Every Yaris should have this engine, maybe then the coffin dodgers who buy them might not drive everywhere 20mph below the limit for no reason.
Haha so true
They all drive the Honda Jazz. I don't think I've seen a Yaris made after 2007.
The Gear Knob true, the jazz is the no1 choice of coffin dodgers, but the Yaris is definitely of that ilk.
This should be the Yaris for daily
@@thegearknob7161 believe it or not, Honda Jazz, or Fit in China, is a symbol of grassroot Motorsport in China. Because it has the top power-to-weight ratio in its class 131hp/1050kg. It's the opposite to what you just mentioned, a boring car for old people. Specifically people use GK5, the code of 3rd-gen Fit to address the car. They are widely used as a track car in China.
Another great video Sam! Really enjoying your content 🙌🏻
very nice review ... can't wait to get mine. Videos like this get you extremly hungry and excited.
I think this is the start of a new benchmark...
Love this car! Great summary of it. I’d change the exhaust if possible, but that’s about it. I want one so bad now.
Thanks mate! Such a cool little car
@@seenthroughglass I’m so keen to go take one for a test drive, once they become available that is here in Australia. The first small batch sold out in just 7 days.
thanks Sam....everyoen is loving it but you take the enthusiasm to the next level...PS best music too..
Sam, the quality of your content is so good these days, and the composition of your shots has also taken a step up. Would love to see your videos in 4k though. Something you've no doubt thought about, but it would help raise the bar further in my opinion. Thanks for the epic content.
Notification squad here all the way from South Florida
Legend
Waiting for the podcast to hear Tony's opinion
Let me guess he's going to say its shit, like with every car 😂
He will say it’s a pile of shit lol
@@Stigs722 he even said an R8 v10 manual is shit
Great video to return to the channel after many months away 👍.
What a scorcher of a car 👌😍
Keep up the good work Sam. Very informative as always. I want one for Christmas!!
Surprised you didn't go to get some coffee in this😂😂
Sounds like he's had his coffee already!
"A tad over excited", ya reckon? I thought you'd done a few lines.
As soon as I saw a picture of this thing Ioved the way it looks and were so intrigued to hear how it drives. Looks so much fun.
Your excitement at the start says it all - nice review Sam
Of course we dont get this in America.
It will come in a bigger body with similar power train, probably in a year or so...
y'all got like chargers and novas
@@kasio22B We want the smaller body and chassis. I’m so sad it’s not available in the states.
Not so fast, share this: chng.it/fnx68LB7zs
I’m not sure but I think Sam quite likes it.
Sort of
Sam, your enthusiasm is palpable. Having now driven the car i felt the same way. Fortunately I don't have to give it back!
This must be something special because the reactions its getting are amazing! This channel, Carwow, and The Late Brake Show's videos all show the driver with a huge grin on their face, its intoxicating! I've ordered one; thanks for giving me the final nudge I needed. :-)
It was not developed in Japan, rather in germany, in the toyota motor motorsport facilities.
Notification squad!!!
Feel so sad we dont get cars like these in India!!
Not missing a lot, you will see hardly any of these on the roads, most of them will be snapped up, and garaged never used, in the hopes they will become Homologated and thus worth more in years to come.
Thanks for tuning in
Thank you Sam, lovely, smitten with this one, you take the GR Yaris on Snow Tour 2021, perhaps even, a 'gaggle' of GR's!
awesome vid, love your passion for cars. thx.
Really amazing car unfortunately because of some regulation the EU version of this car isn't as powerful as the Japanese version i believe the japanese version has 272hp
No that's only the first edition models that were only sold in Japan, they have 268hp (272ps) and a signature from the CEO himself on the driver's side of the windscreen, the "standard" GR Yaris which is being sold in Japan and other countries have 257hp
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 PS = Metric Horsepower
No, in japan and australia all model actually have 200kw or 272hp (268hp if using mechanical horspower) you can directly check the AU and JPN toyota website
Cheeky dorifto 0:47
I'm loving the look of this little Yaris. Need to have a go in one. All the reviews so far are really positive. Noticed you're on my local roads again around Steyning,West Sussex 👍🏻
Wow.. It's Amazing Moments for Drive..!!
Toyota not bringing this to the US is a big fail. I don’t want a GR Corolla, I want this!
Agreed! But I'd still go for a Corolla hatch with this powertrain and widebody treatment. But if they do a GR C-HR, then forget it. Definitely don't want that.
@@mattres9173 The Corolla being 400 lbs heavier is a huge turn away. I would much rather have a Golf R or Focus RS if I’m going to purchase a 3k+ lb hot hatch. Either car would be way faster and more capable than the GR Corolla.
@@GyroPyro121212 a Yaris will not sell in the U.S. as Americans hate B segment small hatchbacks, they just announced to discontinue the North American spec Mazda-based Yaris by the end of 2020 as it's not selling very well, Americans like big SUVs
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 I think the base Yaris would not sell well as non car enthusiasts only want mindless crossovers. However, the GR Yaris is a niche hot hatch and I think it would sell just as well as any other sport focused vehicle here.
@@GyroPyro121212 Realistically I don't think a 3 cylinder hot hatch will appeal to many American car enthusiasts, especially if it's gonna cost around $45,000 if Toyota does decide to sell it in the U.S. plus they don't hold a WRC stage in the U.S. so there won't be any huge appeal for one
Smart Investors: WE NEED TO BUY THESE GRs AS MANY AS WE CAN 😂🤫
Yh, in my country toyota opened reservations and in like a week they had no more cars available here 😔 guess I'll have to try and import one...
they are only planning to making 25,000 but I bet they end up making a lot more than that.
@@cmpillred277 Akio Toyoda said if there's more demand for these he'll make more than 25,000 of these if need be, I hope the demand for these increase I want this to be a mass produced car 🙌
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 I reckon there is a good chance that will happen, all the testers are raving about it there is no way Toyota will not want to make as many as they can to cope with demand.
@@cmpillred277 plus they made an entirely new production line JUST for the GR Yaris alone, it will go to waste if they discontinue it after surpassing 25,000 units
Great video Sam, I'm saving to buy one already. What a car, I love it in everyway.
Hey Sam! Great video💪🏾 Just wanna say that this is the first video of yours that I’ve had in my sub box in a while.. Dunno why that is, but just wanna put it out there to see if other guys are experiencing this.
All fiesta ST owners be like: 👀👀👀
I want Ford to make a Fiesta RS with AWD and a forged 3 cylinder engine 👌
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 They won’t because of emissions!
I am... And I was! 😂
...be like, why does this toyota sound like a vacuum cleaner?
I'm in the United States, so seeing this is like taunting me with a forbidden fruit. Oh well, back to my Fiesta ST.
Wait for the Corolla gr
The world needs more cars like this!
Finally something following the GT-Four greatness !!! And I love how they winked at it with the way the GR-FOUR badge look !!! You should try to find a good example to compare them
Nice little car! But 30k for a Yaris, imagine explaining that to the wife
@LM AO so? Still financing a 30k Yaris won’t be cheap, when you look at other cars you get for 30k
You're one of those guys that refers to HIS wife as.... "THE" wife... like she is just some sort object.
Sounds like you have zero respect for her. I hate when I hear guys saying this.
Blame it on import taxes. It's just a Yaris after all 😉
35 k over 36 months is like 970 quid a month madness.
@LM AO what on a two year pcp not actually to buy and own.
Sorry to curb any enthusiasm but this is not an homologation special; WRC regulations don`t require that manufacturers homologate a road version of their WRC cars...this is simply an exercise in engineering
You guys are amazing🤩
Please upload in 4k, your content deserves it.
Bit expensive though
Do NOT buy a second hand one of these a few years later 😂😂
Why not?
@@dirkvantroyen9170 people will have fun with it pal
@@MrRusTeeZ Damn that was my plan :)
@@dirkvantroyen9170 HAHAHA yeah man the only people who will buy it is young people who will thrash it.
@@Dev1nci Do young people have that much cash to spare? I think most buyers will be in their 40's. Who will trash it nonetheless :)
Love this little thing!!! And CONGRATS On 500k 👍👍👍
I hope I can at least get this on Forza
The need is so intense now after watching the car wow review and your video😱
Just watched and subscribed 👍 😀 great videos im watching them all day now 😀
Love the power slide out of that first corner. By all accounts an incredible car.
The perfect base for a track weapon. This Friday we had one of the first cars in Germany in our workshop and fitted our 9.5x18 wheels with 255/35-18 semi slicks. What can I say...fits plug and play and lift the car on another level. The first laps on Northloop are already done. 👍
Great video Sam. I haven’t seen or heard of the GR Yaris. At the beginning of the video I thought. Waaahh did he just get the back end out of a Yaris 😂. Keep up the good work mate.
Good video! keep up the good work!
Great video, loved your excitement lol. You may have a new subscriber in the making 😁
Wow . It's a beast. liked so much❤
Absolutely love that little thing! Great video👌
Thanks bud
Great vid as always! Although I was waiting for the reason why it might not go rallying!
I love this little pocket rocket. It looks
Like a whole lot of fun
Your background music is almost as good as the GR Yaris itself! :D
Holy hell we’re getting this in America. Finally.. seems like every cool hot hatch you guys get we never see.
One of the best hot hatches loved the review❤
It looks better in white! Like your puppy!
Love everything about the car, moving forward to future and innovation 👍
Superb review Sam and I think as you say you need to spend more time in it and especially in the wet before you really want one! I have put down a deposit on a circuit pack with delivery in March. Lichfield are developing performance upgrades which will take care of the exhaust note and high driving position etc PS you drove my Balboni from AVE a few years ago - I still have it!!!
Incredible performance
What a great video again!
Thanks!!
Happy New Year Sam!
Awesome vehicle need to try
Mines due for arrival in March, can't wait.
Wow amazing one..fantastic design and look...awosome
WTFFFF!!!!!! is this little thing!!!....Im genuinely impressed and amazed by the GR YARIS....Its ridiculously capable...speechless...Kudos Sam for such a wholesome review with pure non-journalistic driving impressions..WAAAAHHHH!!!!...Love from India :) :D
Ur excitement is totally justified Sam It's just what is petrol heads and rally fans need 👍
Awesome video
THE videography is GREAT
Beautiful
I just noticed how nice the intake noise of the 3 cylinder is. Exhaust is probably going to sound like crap but the intake noise is like a mini 6 cylinder and I love it.
Gotta say the looks great (and the part!) and sounds even better.
Great video Sam! Thoughts on the auto-blipper?
great, funny, entertaining review. and now I placed my order
Cheers Sam
Great video sam
Great video
Good work guys
Great going 👏
I'm I ever gonna buy this car?
No.
But do I need to see this full review?
Yes!
