Approximately two weeks ago, Toyota unveiled the enhanced GR Yaris, featuring increased power with its upgraded 1.6-three-cylinder engine now delivering 280 hp.
The incorporation of a stiffer chassis and enhanced dampers aims to elevate the performance of this top-tier Yaris, transforming it into an even more thrilling pocket rocket.
For those seeking a more unique touch, Toyota offers the Ogier Edition or Rovanpëra Edition, named after Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC team champions Sébastien Ogier and Kalle Rovanperä.
The Toyota GR Yaris Ogier Edition exudes subtlety, sporting a ‘stealth gray’ paint job and a small French flag on the grille. In contrast, the Rovanperä Edition boasts a more flamboyant Gazoo Racing livery, accompanied by a slightly more extreme roof spoiler.
Both versions feature 18-inch BBS alloys, and the interior showcases a special badge commemorating the WRC victory from the previous year.
The introduction of new driving modes adds another layer of customization. The Morizo Mode, developed by ‘Morizo’ Akio Toyoda, aids the Ogier Edition in achieving consistent lap times. The Ogier Edition also includes the Seb mode, allowing for easier rear breakaway.
On the other hand, the Rovanperä Edition introduces the Kalle mode, providing a looser rear end and a unique donut mode. Limited production runs are expected for both special editions, with pricing details yet to be disclosed.
