Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division is reportedly developing a front-wheel-drive model for Rally 4 competition and a road-going version
The Toyota Starlet is set to make a comeback as a rally-bred FWD hot hatch . It’s rumored to use Yaris underpinnings but with a more compact footprint. A turbocharged 1.3-liter engine could deliver around 150 hp in its road-going version. The Toyota Starlet nameplate is currently applied to rebadged versions of the Suzuki Baleno and Fronx in South Africa. However, Toyota appears to be gearing up for something far more exciting.
6-liter unit found in the popular GR Yaris and GR Corolla. This downsized unit could produce around 150 horsepower and channel power to the front axle via a six-speed manual transmission.
