    You must be kidding.....three cyliner engine produces so funny noise, have you never heard Fiesta R2?? I know that the future demands in this class only 3 cylinder engines (costs), but if you want to create a legend like Suby Impreza STi or Mitsu evo IX/X, this shrilling noise will not help to fall into delirium. And saying that this is cutting-cost step is meaningless for the vehicle, which will cost at least three times of a normal version...and it is not a version which will be produced in 100.000 + units...so, one minus for me.
    Now I can only wait that the next P911 & BMW M3 will have also 3 cylinder engine...and you will like it?? Com'on....

    About Fiesta R2T, I quite like the sound more than Clio R3T or DS3 R3T for example (which are 4cil). The reason why it is a 3 cylinder car is because that seems to be the way to go and to build the best, most efficient engine... The new Fiesta ST also uses a 3 cylinder engine instead of the old 4 cylinder engine. And it seems to be better, with more torque in lower RPM. Anyway, like many people, I'm very excited about the new GR Yaris. If the price tag can be justified for me, I'd like to swap my old 4 cylinder Fiesta ST for it.

    to be efficient a cylinder must be very close to 500cc

    Interesting, how long life-span a 3-cylinder 200+kw engine has...rebuilding a race/rallycar is one thing, but roadcar...

    It’s less kW/Litre than an AMG A45 - what are the service intervals like on one of those?

    "The GR Yaris will not be limited to just a few hundred units, instead Toyota will need to produce a full 25,000 next year in order to comply with WRC regulations."

    So the 2021 Yaris WRC will be based on this GR Yaris ? A new car for them for just a year, before then changing again to the 2022 hybrid car ?
