2021 Toyota GR Yaris
Brief
Viewing by appointment only.
Welcome to the sale of our Toyota GR Yaris.
If you are reading this then it is likely you know all about the GR Yaris, but for those that don’t….
The GR Yaris is much more than a ‘hot hatch’ – it was developed & produced purely as a homologation special, so that Toyota could build ‘the ultimate’ WRC car.
Sharing basically only the light clusters, mirrors & roof fin with a normal Toyota Yaris, these have a different chassis, 4wd, a much lower roof line (with a carbon fibre roof), a different engine & gearbox & much much more.

2021 – 252 miles
2022 – 409 miles
This car is either ready to be enjoyed out on the open road, or equally it is ready to join a collection of special cars.
Body & Paintwork
As of course you would expect from such a low mileage car, the bodywork is absolutely as new throughout.
We have checked all panels with a paint depth gauge, & can confirm all paintwork is original, including the wheels.
Being a circuit pack edition, it has the fantastic lightweight forged BBS alloy wheels, which are all without any damage of course.
It also has the Red brake calipers, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tyres, plus retuned suspension, recalibrated EPAS & Torsen limited-slip differentials at the front & rear axle.
All badges, lights, & windows are in perfect order, just as you would expect.
A beautiful example all round.
Interior & Trim
As per the rest of the car, this interior is simply as new.
The bucket/sports seats are in perfect order, looking superb in part leather & Alacantara with contrasting GR emblem & red stitching.
All switchgear is unmarked, likewise the steering wheel, gear knob, handbrake & foot pedals are like new.
Everything operates exactly as it should do.
Toyota has focused on driver engagement, with a high-mounted gearlever which sits almost perfectly for quick changes.
The pedals are very well placed for heel-and-toe, plus the steering wheel feels just the right thickness, with great weight to it when driving too.
A very good place to be!
Engine
What a cracking little engine.
1.6L 3 cylinder engine, (the most powerful production 3 cylinder engine), producing 257bhp.
Certainly any reservations of a 3 cylinder engine are put to bed the first time driving a GR Yaris.
These small but mighty engines have been putting out some impressive figures once tuned as well, 300bhp appears to be easy work & some have seen as much as 500bhp.
The gear change is certainly worth noting too, absolutely fantastic gear change.
Toyota have really hit the nail on the head in getting a new car to feel more ‘analogue’ with fantastic feedback and ‘feel’.
Obviously at 560 miles this engine is barely ‘ran in’. You can also be assured it has followed the Toyota maintenance program, having has its first two services carried out by the supplying dealer.
The car has only ever been used on the road & has never seen a circuit.
Running Gear
All running gear is exactly as you would expect of such a low mileage car.
Being a circuit pack edition, it has the fantastic lightweight forged BBS alloy wheels, which are all without any damage of course.
It also has the Red brake calipers, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tyres, plus retuned suspension & mechanical front & rear limited-slip differentials.
The car has genuinely not seen rain & the underside looks fantastic.
