GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

[Ecsrobin]

So no gen 2 GRMN yet?

No nothing yet. Maybe not at all if they’re going to be more widely supplying tuning parts or maybe they are waiting for a launch at the N24hr as they have a big presence there each year and more so if the Yaris is running.

 

[Euge]

Mid engined concept looks wild!

 

[Sam]

No new Celica or MR2 revealed, shame, but I wonder if this engine is what's being rumoured to power the new Celica?

New 2 litre engine mid mounted and will be used for development in racing by morizo.

to be honest, that mid engined 2.0 litre turbocharged GR yaris concept car is quite exciting!
that turbo turbine side looks rather nice. wonder what is under there.

It is, but there's only so much excitement I can muster for something that won't be sold. It's a development mule.

From 42min.

Agreed but what’s exciting/interesting is the continued investment in ICE and performance.

Hmmm, hinting at new Celica and MR2, cool.

True that

Even wilder they are doing official TGR merch in the Japanese store for the test mule! I need to do a trip to TAS one year..

 

[Michael Knight]

that car is almost set as rear engine, engine being such back. not maybe the best in terms of driving dynamics.

I ... NEED ... THAT ... WING!

front bumper is mounted in WRT style? but also those front wings would be cool.

Those mounts were announced yesterday as an option part for the gen2, taking my bumper off today I noticed these marks in the exact same position:

thanks man, now I need those mounts too

Its faster to remove bumper with them so not a bad idea. Although it takes maybe 10min to remove bumper with normal mountings so not big task wither

So no gen 2 GRMN yet?

I mean, it'll never happen (I've said this twice now and been wrong twice, why break with tradition)

Say we will never get a mid engined GR Yaris and we may get one. Modern day group b car if it ever happens!

I think de mid engine is a testcase for an MR2 or Celica!

 

[Sam]

I think de mid engine is a testcase for an MR2 or Celica!

Me too, especially given the Yaris testmule is AWD.

A 3-400hp mid engined AWD sportscar in the style of an MR2 would be awesome.

My guess is we're going to see a front engined G20E Celica and a mid engined G20E MR2, both with versions of the GR-FOUR system.

I hope anyways.

depending on package how it works I think this could be a potential next car after GR.
Depends a lot on sizing. if its too big then its a no go.
