I think they've been doing it since 2007. It's also a mass production car, from a brand that needs desperately to be revived and as an outstanding rally heritage.
I hope Toyota will upgrade its livery at least with the new car. So far this design looks immortal :-D
This photoshop is missing the big change on the lower door side, where there is now a continuous flat area all the way to the front wheel. Makes the car look quite a bit different.Quote:

And who says this car will come in 2021 and not earlier? :)
I agree it will probably come during this year.
It can only come after they've produced 25 thousand of those GR Yaris, right?Quote:

Oh that looks nicccccccce.Quote:

Huh, is that the reason we dont see so many homologated RHD rally cars these days? I assumed your 25,000 production run meant you could homologate either LHD or RHD and only MEM (Proton Iriz) and Prodrive (Mini Countryman) had bothered to do so in recent years...Quote:

I didnīt read it nowhere, Itīs the rule.Quote:

If they made a basic 3-door Yaris it would be a lot easier to sell 25,000 of them than the GR. But they arent. The 3-door hatch seems to be dead nowadays.Quote:

Not much of and issue, when the price is right...
And i think doors are the least bit of worry, when you are buying an uncomfortable pocketrocket
Evans writes in his DF article, that the necessary and produced amount will be 2500 pc.
on shitty estonian roads, yes, uncomfortableQuote:

Focus RS it is what im talking about.
It's 2.500 of mandatory units, not 25.000.
Yep, the normal Yaris is only a 5-door model but, like already mentioned, they just need to make 2.500 3dr Yaris in order to match Gr.A basic body dimensions rules (one of the few limitations of the WRC Kit variant).Quote:

amazing design!^^^
Reminds me that Hyundai Getz that those crazy guys turned into a Yaris wrc 'replica' that was posted on this forum some time ago :)Quote:
