Toyota goes Back to the Future with the GR Yaris GR-Four | fullBOOST
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Homologated for the World Rally Championship and led by rally legend Tommi Mäkinen, the new GAZOO Racing Toyota GR Yaris is a throwback to the 1990s era of light weight turbocharged AWDs. Available in manual only, this is Toyota’s first AWD performance car since the Celica GT-Four which ceased production over 20 years ago. A unique engine choice, the Yaris GR is powered by a turbocharged 3-cylinder 1.6L engine producing 200kW and 360Nm, coupled to an electronic variable full time AWD system, enough to propel this little Toyota to 13-second ¼ mile performance out of the box.
We caught up with the team from the Auto Innovation Centre recently for a closer look at some of the finer points of the Yaris’ design elements and where the aftermarket industry might develop future upgrades. | www.autoic.com.au

I really enjoyed this guys! Any chance of teaming up with AIC and doing more of these type of videos? Awesome work!
This is the kind of car review I like to watch
I agree with your comment
Agree. Looks like a great place.
2nd this, would be cool to see a walk around of the fd rx7, or maybe one of the supra?
amazing review, technically excellent and focused on the engineering
Can’t believe I’m excited about a Yaris that thing is mint
High quality video. Very informative. Really enjoyed the deep dive into how Toyota engineered this car. That two post hoist was the ultimate flex 💪🏻
The hunter alignment machine isn't too bad either.
What a fantastically informative video, Bloody brilliant! And that AIC workshop will be in my dreams!
Fullboost and AIC, what a brilliant video.
Thanks for making this, totally enjoyed it.
'"Because metric runs the world " so true
America should transition to the metric system. Would only help in the long run.
Outstanding review fellas. Thanks.
That moment when toyota puts a manual transmission in their new GR Yaris but not the new GR Supra 😐
wow now that sucks.
Ones homologation one isn’t.
cuz that yaris is made by themselves
Y’all still wouldn’t buy it anyways.
BMW didn't put the manual in you mean...
That 2 post hoist is cool as!
Congratulations, amazing the work your doing for industry and so flowing onto to car enthusiasts.
I'll receive my GR January so I'm definitely going to be watching your channel.
Keep up the great work guys.
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the gr Yaris or that hoist.
And the rig to take the tire off without killing your back. Would love to work/study in that shop/RnD facility.
I drove it last Monday. 1h test drive... going to buy one!
This car is just a masterpiece
That hoist WTF
Probably cost more than the car!
$40K car, $4mill garage.... That's having ones priorities straight....
I can't wait to drive one of these.
Awesome work need more of these videos
Congrats on the purchase boys, what an upgrade on the little Megane. 😎👍 I'm still torn about the 3 banger though. On one hand, that distinctive 3 banger "sound" ala Suzuki Alto's, on the other hand, that performance that's the best in a 3 banger since the Charade GTti. 😍
Stephen Merchant seems to know a lot about cars.
This thing is amazing.
Y’all’s 3D scanning process is incredible, too!
Watching this as a UK resident, very much enjoyed 👍
Excellent video and the most informative I have seen so far on the Yaris GR, in English at least. And what a workshop!
Fullboost brings out another banger of a vid!
Solid review lads! Loved the engineering insights into the car and slick AIC workshop.
Best breakdown video of the Yaris GR on RUclips 👏👏👏🇦🇺
Great Video I`ve just ordered a GR Yaris with Circuit pack here in Scotland, great informative video - Awesome to see the bits in depth Thanks
did you guys actually order and buy one? im so excited for the return of small turbo manual homologation specials.
Sure did :)
@@fullboost love it
Let me be the first to say, best use of the $150k instant asset write off thus far! Lol 💸😄
That was great, really nice workshop too. Interested to see development on that engine, or an extra cylinder!
Fantastic in depth analysis! Thanks I'm thinking of buying one
Don't mind the front to rear weight distribution, the important one is cross corner weight, which is at 50.78% to 49.22%. For a production car that is phenomenal! It would make this thing more chuckable than a crying new-born!
Never thought i'd be lusting for a Yaris, but fuck man these are sweet. It seems like all homologation road cars are legendary so I'm not surprised.
This is awesome. Super detailed video with stuff thats NEVER been done before with this car. This has to be the best brand new car you can get for the money. Love a little pocket rocket with some Evo heritage (tmak) ;)
What a bloody review 👍
Sweet Machine. Fantastic video clip 👌 looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
Such a great vid.. I loved the unexpected drag with the Rex, lol. Was it an Sti? Quite funny.
Great video guys, Well done
Excellent work fellas. Nice to see Australian companies leading the way. And as a Yaris GR owner I look forward to seeing what becomes available. Keep up the good work.
REALLY great vid. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Nice one guys.
That garage and tools! Absolute paradise...
Fantastic overview of the car, subscribed 👏
The Zupr4 is plagued by the fact it is a BMW pretending to be something it's not.
The Yaris GR is the birth of a true JDM legend. A rare thing these days.
Look, its no RX8 but I'm not disappointed
Awesome run down guys! Really great to here some more expert info around the car as well as thoughts on the car.
What do you think of Toyota's new performance hatch?

Can’t wait until mine gets here! July is such a long way away 😩
Thanks Fullboost ,very informative and in detail from the guys at AIC.
Q: Has AIC dissected the Ford Focus RS mk3 , I can’t tell you how many owns would love a Aussie made front seat lowering kit, as there is zero height adjustment . Thanks again.
The positivity shown the world over towards this car has been unanimous. Toyota should really consider increasing its limited prodution run of 35k units to satisfy the undouded customer demand. Awesome little car
2 questions guys:
- You stated the diffs are open, but what I was hearing, there were Torsens front and rear. What gives?
- You stated that it has a Haldex-style transfer case. That means it’s always fwd, with ECU- controlled rwd, either on-demand or proactive, depending on the software and sensor suite. And also, only allows for between 100/0 and 50/50 f/r. Everything I’m hearing elsewhere is saying f/r distribution can be set for 30/70. What gives?
Quality video. AIC seem like a very professional outfit! I concur with their findings/predictions. I’d like to see some suspension alignment products first up, just to dial in what is already there. Looks like the Aus market are only getting a handful of Rallye models so diff upgrades will be popular. Nice work!!
You know you made it when you have a webcam on your alignment machine.
3 cylinder no wonder the manual only model. Practically on flat land no for the high mountains. Nice video.
very professional demonstration of a new fast car
Thanks for making such informative videos.
Now Toyota, lets see a 2.0ltr turbo AWD GR Corolla!
FR- 392Kgs FL-369Kgs, so its right side heavy, best driver position would be left side to compensate the heavy right. RR-261Kgs RL-258Kgs. Front is 23Kgs + Rear is 3Kgs, total of 26 Kgs right heavy.
You'd have to compare it to a LHD car.
Nice stuff...Toyota killing it
Well done Toyota 👍
really good run over of the yaris.
Thanks for visiting the AIC and sharing this engineering/look over video on this cool little pocket rocket @fullboost! A GR Yaris will be added to our fleet in early 2021 for companies to use for testing and product development. Scan data of the car/components will also be made available, adding to our ever buiding scan data library. You can learn more about the AIC and how we help the aftermarket industry at www.autoic.com.au
We may look at doing more videos along these lines in the future!
please do more AIC videos
I've just watched savagegeese's video on the Lexus LFA and the steering rack of this Yaris looks very similar...
I was thinking exactly the same thing just now!
Makes sense, manufacturers get experience and often re-use similar designs, but pretty cool to know
Everything about this car and this video is such a positive thing for car enthusiasts. I can't wait to see someone remove the front drive train for a more even weight balance and a full time FR hot hatch, with an upgraded LSD in the rear as mentioned!
I really loved this video, full of great information and editing as usual. I'd love for you guys to maybe go back and do an overview of what AIC does, or even more cars with them!
Bloody unreal Top video 🙌🏽👌🏽
A very interesting car
Three cylinders with BIG pistons and plenty of room in the engine bay for engine ancillery devices...
Some very cool technology...
Great video. Cant wait to see track action and basic tuning
Respect. Quality vid.
@3:20 Ha driving through Springvale should have stopped at BunBun Bakery for a pork roll!!!! #devine !!! Top vid but guys👌👌👌 that hoist is off its nut!!
Can confirm that happened but wasn’t included in the vid. Yes really
@@ltruskinger Best $6 meal of all time!!!
I can attest they are very tasty 👌👌
Will I need to modify the VF finally so I don’t get chopped by one of these ? 🤣
a good cam with ported heads?
Dont put turbos in it though. Removes the beastly part of it.
Ahahahahah same
Time for a 2K Barra 😜
So time for a barra huh?
AIC has a very bright future.
Toyota is fucking back baby
Thank God Mr.Toyoda teamed up with Makinen to built this WRC bred car.
This was really cool and interesting. I like how you guys do your reviews , keep up the good work👍🏽🙏🏾thanks for the video
Ps from South Africa ✌🏾
This was a very surprising episode! learned some things, saw an amazing workshop.. the hoist and wheel aligner alone are impressive. That Yaris is starting to look like a bargain when you see the build of it too!
Cant wait to get one!
The engine does not have VTEC but it does have VTC on both intake and exhaust. Has both fuel injection and direct injection.
That Sooby kicked your arse.
To be fair they weren't trying too hard lol its not their car for 1 and it's brand new ,your not really surpose to beat on em too hard until 20/30k 🤔😂
Honestly if they really gave it to it it'd blow the subbys doors off their hinges 🤔😂
Clutched rear diff, Front biased awd . Should test if it goes up a ramp without front traction (rollers)
Thank you that was excellent. I have the Feverish red as well.
What a wicked little car
Hi fullboost, how would you recommend Running in a GR Yaris? Full welly from new or a more traditional method? I'm reading varying opinions, cheers.
I ran mine in for 300-400km then drove it like normal.
My run was keep it under about 5500 and give it plenty of load, like climbing hills.
@@fullboost thanks for the prompt reply, that's pretty well the path I've taken, although I did spin it up to about six and a half in third, couldn't help myself, absolutely blown away by the midrange surge.
This is brilliant, nice to see from an engineering perspective.
Good job boys, I got to sit in one of these two weeks ago, very VERY nice. The people at Toyota head office in South Aus, reckon the Yaris toasts the Supra in a heads-up launch!
I would say it wouldn't out perform a Supra 👍
for the first time, i have come across someone talking about an open diff and not just how it feels
Fantastic movie Gents 🏴
OMFG that hoist!!!
The Japanese track pack comes with an intercooler sprayer as well as a few other carbon bits from Gazoo racing.
They also sell one in RC trim with smaller brakes and wheels and a few other strange changes for people who want to gravel rally
I want one and I'm glad you don't deal in imperial.
That hoist is great. Normal 2 post hoist is a door wrecker
Great vid!
Cost more here in the UK. 30K for the standard car and 33.5k with the circuit pack. Your 40k price works out to approximately 22.2k based on an exchange rate of 1.8.
The price has since gone up to 49.5k for this same car. $40k was the intro offer from Toyota.
Great insight Vid guys 👌
“Check out the brain on brad.”.......this guy knows his stuff
How does it compare to your E1/2 given similar power to weight?
Instant collectable. All aboard!
very cool car, I like that Toyota went out of their way to produce something like this. The design will have to grow on me because it just looks like one of those eco box cars that start at $9000 with bigger fenders.
I believe this isn't the RZ trim, right?
Since the RZ does have that hole for brake cooling open and having that GR branded brakes as well.
this one is simply 'Standard' trim in aus but is basically an RZ first edition afaik. Blanking the hole might have been done for aus compliance? (pedestrian safety?)
@@tmmtmm Ahh i see..
A bit weird with them having to close the brake cooling hole like that if it is true.
In the UK the competition pack ones get red calipers but doesn’t include the heads up display for some reason
This has a HUD and closed brake ducts. This isn't the performance variant with differentials, is it?
Correct. The first batch of cars here are all what is referred to (outside of Aus) as the convenience pack. We are getting a higher model which will be called a "Rallye". This one will be the circuit and convenience pack combined.
Great video
Waiting for lowered suspension for this bad boy. Hopefully soon with the help of these guys.
Going rims 18x9 +45 tyre 255 35 r18.
Can't wait to see the specs on the GRMN version.
Is it worth selling a JZA80 Supra to make space for this or the Rallye? Hmmm, choices.
