Here is a picture of the Yaris. Looks quite finished to me

I don’t know if it’s the colour scheme or what but I’m really disappointed with that, it looks bloody awful. I know this will be a development car and not necessarily what the final product will look like but the AP4 version never had the same problem - maybe that’s because it was only seen in all white then in TGR colours

Edit: found a video, confirming a 3-cyl engine https://youtu.be/T-3EIsXQ1as

Looks like a effective rear!

Possibly they used that black livery to emphasise that it's still only a demo car and far from the finished TGR item.

And a pity there was no photos in tarmac-spec which would've looked pretty mean.

Interesting going for the 3 cylinder engine! The driver seems to upshift very early and in the demo run in Japan it sounds like it's hitting the rev limiter too.

A lot of development to go yet if it won't debut until 2024. It seems Toyota will do it properly instead of rushing at least.
