TOYOTA GAZOO Racing WRT

[Fast Eddie WRC]

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).

That would mean no need to make a GR4 version just some basic 3-door cars so why have they bothered ?

The GR4 is much different to any other Yaris, its not just the number of doors. It has a lower coupe-style roofline and the wider body and arches. Toyota TGR wanted this for the WRC car for better aero, a wider track and better placement of the rear wing.

"This is a stunning machine and a true homologation special, for while it's unique four-wheel-drive system isn't eligible for WRC competition, the specialised, low-roof, lightweight three-door bodyshell most certainly is. To qualify to use the new car in the WRC, however, the company will have to build 25,000 road-going models in a single year."
