Toyota’s performance division, GAZOO Racing, has unveiled an upgraded version of the GR Yaris, called the Type 26 GR Yaris, with orders now open in Japan and sales scheduled to begin on April 6.
The new model incorporates improvements derived from Toyota’s motorsports experience, including a newly developed GR steering wheel designed with professional race drivers for better control, updated electric power steering settings to improve handling under high-load cornering, and newly developed high-performance Bridgestone POTENZA RACE tires on certain trim levels.
Additional changes include updated suspension tuning to maximize tire performance and revised factory options allowing seat and steering wheel heaters even when certain packages are selected. Prices in Japan start at about 3.97 million yen for the RC trim and reach 5.88 million yen for the top RZ “High performance” model with the Aero performance package. Source: Toyota.
