Is the Toyota Yaris 2020’s most exciting car for drivers?
The Toyota Yaris GR will be one of the most interesting cars in 2020. It brings rally car technology and passion to the tiny Yaris hatchback. This tiny hot hatch, which features a turbocharged engine and manual transmission, is the perfect antidote for the growing number of boring cars on the roads today. It turns out that Toyota might have a more focused Toyota Yaris, as was seen at the Nurburgring.
The GRMN performance division of Toyota stands for Gazoo Rac Masters of Nurburgring. This dedicated team has big plans to improve the future of Toyota’s enthusiast products. Toyota has a long history in motorsports. It recently won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2019, 2020 and 2019. Toyota is also making progress in rally, finishing second in the WRC Constructors Champion in 2019, and running neck-and-neck with Hyundai in 2020.
Toyota’s passion for motorsports has a major impact on their product lines. We can see them slowly expanding our offerings to cater to more enthusiasts. The 2018 Toyota Yaris GRMN set the standard for future GRMN products that offer a driver-focused experience, rather than chasing performance numbers. We are witnessing the evolution of this dynamic performance brand with the 2020 Yaris GR arriving everywhere but the United States.
A recent spy video shows a Toyota Yaris GR with more aggressive aero. It is possible to speculate that this could represent the top tier Yaris GR and offer a hot hatch with a more targeted engine to compete with the new Yaris GR. We will only know the outcome of this speculation, but we are excited to see Toyota’s passion for motorsport infused in even more vehicles within its range.
