Toyota has made minor changes to the new GR Yaris, and will announce an improved, evolved model on March 21, 2024, and release it on April 8, 2024. I was wondering if there were two grades of “RZ” and “RZ “High performance” as standard models, available in 6-speed MT and 8-speed AT, but when I looked at the catalog more closely, I realized that it was actually the “RC” grade. was there! What’s more , it was written extensively as a “ vehicle for motorsports participation ”, and I could feel from the catalog that it was not for sale to the average person! I will introduce what kind of grade it is.

Since this is a grade that is intended for participation in motorsports, it does not have any obtrusive functions. Nowadays, it is difficult to find products that do not come with safety equipment, but on the contrary, we are responding to that need in a limited way. As expected from MORIZO.
