The Toyota GR Yaris is a very special car, there is no doubt about that. The car that was launched practically as a WRC car with a license plate recently received some considerable improvements. In addition to its controversial price, its power also increased and an automatic transmission was introduced. Based on this, they decided to create the Toyota GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition, a special edition that is limited and will only be sold in one country.
As its name indicates, it is a specimen only for Italy which aims to pay tribute to a very particular racing vehicle. The decoration of this GR Yaris is clearly inspired by that of the Toyota Corolla Coupé Rally Car that won the First win for the brand in the WRC in 1973. Hence we can see it with that striking white livery with red stripes running across the hood and also its sides as in the original vehicle. The touch is provided by the forged wheels in a Heritage Gold.
To show its racing origins, Toyota has reached an agreement with Pirelli, which supplies its semi-slick tiresP Zero Trofeo R, to improve the performance of the sports car. It does not change one iota of its three-cylinder 1.6-liter turbo engine that reaches up to 280 HP and 390 Nm of torque and delivers some seriously impressive performance. The Toyota GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition is only available with the eight-speed Gazoo Racing Direct automatic transmission and also comes with the Tech Pack as standard to enhance its equipment.
Inside you can see a numbered plaque with the corresponding certificate of authenticity, which matches the specific badge on the exterior. Because we must not forget that the GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition Only 51 units will be made which can only be purchased in Italy. Another peculiarity is that they will be sold online starting September 9th. And as with any special edition, their price is sky-high.
In this case they are 67,500 euros which also include a trip to test the Rally2 racing, two VIP passes for the TGR Italia season, a specific case and merchandising.
