Discover Toyota’s GR Yaris Morizo RR – a carbon‑fiber‑clad, 300 hp monster unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon. Only 200 built worldwide. Learn more!
At this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota turned heads by revealing the ultra‑focused GR Yaris Morizo RR – a limited‑run, track‑ready evolution of its celebrated hot hatch. While the silhouette remains unmistakably street‑legal, every surface has been re‑engineered to deliver pure performance on both tarmac and race circuits.
Game‑Changing Performance
Under the sleek hood sits the beloved 1.6‑liter, three‑cylinder turbocharged engine, now tuned to produce roughly 300 horsepower. The powertrain itself is unchanged, but the Morizo RR pushes the envelope through meticulous weight reduction and aerodynamic refinement.
Carbon‑Fiber Aerodynamics
A massive carbon‑fiber rear wing, a super‑light carbon bonnet, and a bespoke front splitter and side skirts combine with a unique ‘Gravel Khaki’ paint finish. Together they create downforce that keeps the car glued to the road, while matte bronze‑tinted wheels with gold‑colored brake calipers add a touch of exotic flair.
Racing‑Inspired Suspension
To cope with the added aerodynamic load, Toyota’s engineers re‑tuned the suspension geometry, delivering stability on uneven surfaces and razor‑sharp feedback through the most demanding corners – think Nürburgring’s infamous bends.
Pure‑Power Drivetrain
The traditional 53:47 front‑to‑rear torque split, known as the “Gravel” mode, has been replaced by a 50:50 “Morizo” split. This balanced distribution mimics the feel of a professional race car, while the electric power‑assist steering has been recalibrated for pinpoint responsiveness.
Motorsport‑Style Cockpit
Inside, the cabin embraces a race‑day ambience. The steering wheel is re‑shaped, wrapped in Alcantara with contrasting yellow stitching, and integrates a cluster of driver‑focused controls. A dedicated digital instrument panel replaces the standard gauge, spotlighting vital performance data.
Extreme Rarity
True to its exclusive nature, Toyota will produce only 200 units worldwide – 100 for Japan and 100 for Europe. Prospective owners in the home market must enter a lucky‑draw via the Gazoo Racing mobile app for a chance to claim this ultra‑rare supercar.
