Toyota has revealed two limited-edition takes on its already extreme GR Yaris hot hatch. Read about them on CAR
– as well as the new special editions you can read about below. The base car will now kick off at £44,250 but the two special editions described here will now kick off at £60,000 each.. Called the Ogier Edition and the Rovanperä Edition, both cars were revealed at this year’s Monte Carlo rally, and named after two of the Toyota WRC’s teams most decorated drivers.
If you want one, you’ll need to be quick – and live in Japan; they’re a domestic model only, and Toyota is currently planning to make just 100 of each.GR engineers have left the engine untouched, so power remains at 276bhp and torque at 288lb ft, just as in the standard car.
The Rovanperä version features a donut mode, and Kalle mode, which reduces rear traction on entry and increases power to the front axle on exit – effectively dragging the car out of corners. As with the Ogier model, it’s this latter mode that delivers the lap times. Both cars also feature a normal mode, as on the High performance, RZ trim.In addition to the powertrain tweaks, both cars also get a few more superficial upgrades.
