About this Collectable

The Toyota GR Yaris may have been the most talked about new car of 2020. Not just because there were simply fewer model launches, but mainly because Toyota brought something that few people would have thought possible in today's car world. A pure, analog, homologation special.

The planned WRC rally car will never see the light of day, but thanks to this project we now have the GR Yaris: a four-wheel drive, manual transmission hot hatch from Toyota. A supermini, but with brakes larger than the 6-cylinder 3.0l Toyota Supra and the most powerful three-cylinder in a production car. This little 1.6 engine produces 263 hp with 360 Nm of torque available between 3.000 and 4.600 rpm.

The GR Yaris exists thanks to the passion of Akio Toyoda, Toyota's CEO, the close collaboration with Tommi Makinen, the WRC legend and boss of Toyota's GAZOO Racing World Rally Team, and the many engineers of the world's largest car manufacturer. And the result does not disappoint.

The international motoring press was almost unanimously positive about the car. Chris Harris said: “The best new car I've driven this year is a Toyota and costs under £35k”. CAR Magazine named the car Hot Hatch of the Year and EVO said "Toyota’s new road-going rally special is a great drivers’ car of the type we worried we’d never see again." TopGear gave the GR Yaris, only for the sixth time in its history, 10 out of 10 points.

That is very high praise for a Toyota Yaris, which is obviously anything but an ordinary Yaris. In fact, the only parts that the GR Yaris shares with the regular Yaris are the headlights, side view mirrors, door handles and antenna.

This particular GR Yaris is the only right version: the Performance. This means that compared to the 'standard' GR Yaris, the car is equipped with two Torsen limited-slip differentials, forged 18-inch BBS rims, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (225/40 R18), red brake callipers and the GR sports suspension.

This car has covered only 6.500 km and has a full (extended) factory warranty until November 12, 2025.
