  • GR86 RZ ‘21

    Max Power: 231 BHP
    Max Torque: 249 Nm
    Length: 4265 mm
    Width: 1775 mm
    Weight: 1,270 kg

    Since its introduction in 2012, more than 200,000 units of the Toyota 86 were sold around the world, solidifying its place in the history books as one of the most popular front-engine/rear-wheel-drive compact sports cars of all time.

    Nine years after the 86’s debut, Toyota introduced the GR86, a high-performance version of the car that wore the Gazoo Racing badge (GR). While maintaining the virtues of the original car, namely a lightweight body and superb handling, Toyota engineers equipped the GR86 with a larger engine. Under the hood was a 2.4-litre flat-4 that replaced the 2.0-litre variant. Power came in at an impressive 231 BHP / 7,000 rpm with a maximum torque peaking at 25.5 kgfm / 3,700 rpm. This translated to a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.3 seconds, which was a stark improvement over the 7.4 seconds of the first-generation model.

    To enhance the 86’s handling, the company’s chassis engineers stiffened the body and adopted aluminium in the roof panel to lower the centre of gravity, as well as reduce overall height. With the GR86, Toyota offered sports-car enthusiasts exactly what they were hoping for with the 86: a meaner, faster version of the car that was designed for the race track.

  • GR Yaris RZ “High Performance” 20

    Max Power: 268 BHP
    Max Torque: 370 Nm
    Length: 3995 mm
    Width: 1805 mm
    Weight: 1,290 Kg

    Toyota has continued to challenge the World Rally Championships throughout the years in order to further refine their sportscars. And the car they developed as the base vehicle for the new rally car to be introduced in 2021, is the GR Yaris.

    At a glance this may appear to be a cute compact car, but in reality this is a fighting machine built to win the WRC. The 3-door body combining two TNGA GA-B and GA-C modules has been reinforced for rigidity wherever possible, while reducing weight and lowering centre of gravity. The widened rear fenders are a tell-tale sign of its true potential, and the carbon roof which gradually descends towards the rear is a result of optimizing airflow when a rear wing is installed.

    The engine powering the four-wheel drive RZ model is a G16E-GTS 1.6 litre 3 cylinder turbo. This is their latest power unit boasting the smallest size and lightest weight in its class, and produces 200 kW (268 BHP)/370 Nm. This is then matched to a 6 speed manual transmission. The drivetrain is also very interesting, with a newly developed electronically controlled coupling type centre differential adjusting the forward to rear torque distribution. In addition, the ‘RZ High Performance’ model is equipped with Torsen LSDs for both the front and rear differentials, securing rock solid traction.

    The special ‘1st Edition’ model was announced together with the reveal of the GR Yaris in January 2020. This is a special limited edition model for only those who pre-ordered the car, autographed by the master driver ‘Morizo'[1] and equipped with special forged aluminium wheels.

    The Toyota 86 is a sports car released in 2012, combining a relatively compact body with a rear wheel drive layout.

    The quick, controllable character of the car is inherited from the popular Corolla/Sprinter AE86 of the 1980s. This character was even more pronounced with the front midship layout and the 2-litre flat 4 engine that provides the car with a low centre of gravity, and was welcomed by car enthusiasts who love to drive.

    This Gr.B rally car is a Gran Turismo exclusive based on the Toyota 86. Its two-layered rear spoiler and other aerodynamic elements mark it out as a truly state-of-the-art rally machine. The drivetrain has been adapted from the FR setup of the base model to a 4WD arrangement.

    “Four consecutive wins at Le Mans for Toyota with this prototype race car”

    Toyota Gazoo Racing won two World Endurance Championships in a row starting in 2018, and it took three straight overall titles at Le Mans with the LMP1-class TS050 – Hybrid. In 2021, a new LMH category was added that represented the top class, so Toyota developed the GR010 HYBRID to compete in this division.

    Because it was all new, the GR010 represented a big change from the TS050, most notably the powertrain. The engine went from a 493 HP twin-turbo 2.4-liter V-6 to a 670.6 HP twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. Also, the 493 HP front and rear-wheel electric motors were swapped for a 268.2 HP system that powered the front wheels only. This resulted in a 4-wheel drive system where the front wheels were exclusively powered by the electric motors, while rears were driven by the gasoline engine.

    Car No. 7 was driven by the team of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez, while the No. 8 car was piloted by Sebastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Brendon Hartley. This season saw Toyota take their fourth Le Mans title (and four in a row) in the new hypercar division.
