The Toyota Yaris GR started as a rally-bred machine developed for Toyota's return to the World Rally Championship in 2017. Designed with a bespoke chassis, a surprisingly light all-wheel-drive system, and a punchy three cylinder engine, it was built to meet WRC's stringent regulations. These rally-inspired features translated exceptionally well to road use, resulting in a compact, powerful car with exceptional handling. The Yaris GR quickly became celebrated as a perfect driver's car, combining thrilling performance with everyday practicality.

When Akio Toyoda said "no more boring cars", he meant it.

As a past and current WRC fan i have to say you cant help but love toyota. All of thier classic and retro rally cars are loved and the modern rally one yaris is truly something to behold. Plus toyotas lineup of drivers is easily the most likeable with sebastien ogier, elfyn evans and kalle rovanpera who are all great people and drivers. I used to feel mixed about toyota cars but ever since i started following the wrc i cant help but love them. Good video!

Now I want to have a gr yaris with a body kit 😂 as if my dream car list couldn't get any longer😂

I've owned a lot of cars in my 40 odd years of driving hot cars but my GR rallye (bang for buck) tops them all BECAUSE you can have fun driving it 1) In any weather dry or wet 2) On any road smooth or rough 3) Fast or slow
-
Kalle Rovanperä being a factory driver makes a lot of sense. as a privateer team it would be really hard to be able to compete with that, as they can just break parts and replace them with no remorse to secure the title. It's a different form of racing

Toyota have created a monster ❤

THE NFS MOVIE WAS GREAT I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
-
Yes, I LOVE the GR Yaris, and I am lucky enough to drive some regularly!
-
best car ever! I'm definitely not biased haha, look into Lampeed racing, they've already pushed the platform to make 1000hp from the G16E engine.
-
Great video. Keep up with good work. When you use imperial measurements, could you also write them in metric system?
-
they build 3 of those 2021 GR Yaris WRC cars, there's a video about those cars on DirtFish youtube channel. I think it's the wildest looking Yaris rally car ever build, those Rally1 hybrids don't have all that crazy aero anymore
-
the Rally1 Hybrid Yaris looks mean as hell never even heard of it but I absolutely love it
-
This video made me fall in love with toyota once again ( I am a toyota fan )
-
Thank you for another fantastic documentary with a brilliant narrative yet again. The Yaris! Who'd have thunk it? I want one too ...
-
Do a series on Mitsubishi , Subaru , Peugeot , Lancia rally history !
-
let's not forget the ST205 GT-Four with quite possibly the most genius cheat in racing 4:53 that's a Gumpert Apollo, wasn't expecting such a rare car to go racing
-
Toyota in WRC even in 2024 still is the dominant force and the team that they all wanted to beat in 2024 WRC Season.
-
Dude your video and storytelling quality is amazing! Earned a sub

“Hey honey I got the Yaris…honey?”
