its great that Toyota have let them go in this direction, i used to work for them, and they really died in sports cars with the later Celica's/MR2's and no Supra. The LFA / ISF and 86 started a mini revival, but the Supra and then all the GR stuff is awesome. More of this please!!
I love the Toyota culture, look how happy the engineers are, they love what they do and it shows! The fact they do everything they can to make it better, be it the newest guy or the CEO itself, just shows why Toyota it the greatest of all.

Greetings from the Republic of Ireland!! Toyota Yaris GR is one of my dream cars as well as Lexus LC500 V8 coupe (Red with tan interior) and a Morgan 3 wheeler. Love the channel.
Yh bro I've had a GR yaris for a about a 1 year now and it is such a fun car to just drive it is such a machine to bad it has fake engine noises but it is what it is mate hood luck on your yaris.
I have had mine since september and i have been flashed 3 times by speed cameras. I wish id never bought it. My licence is nearly gone and i have never had a speeding ticket before.
Not here to police your grammar but rather note that I think the 'ring bit is dead because he's said it without being kicked in a couple videos recently
@@Onewheelordeal What do you guy’s mean by him getting “kicked”? Sorry I’m just not familiar with the history behind this topic, and I am very curious. Thanks in advance!
@@Chamacurmom There was an inside joke in old carwow videos where someone else kicked him whenever he said the word "Nurburgring". You can check out some old videos or search up a compilation of this on UA-cam.
In 2021 a friend of mine bought a second hand low milage 1st Gen GR. The car was INCREDIBLE to drive for such a small engine!...also the MPG it returned was wow considering the power it gives out... WICKED car
Considering how the GRMN is one of, if not the only car in Hot Version to get a full 100 score by the iconic trio (D.K., NOB, & Orido) on Gunsai touge is a testament for just how good that car is.
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 there's actually two GRMN version of the Yaris. There's the 'Yaris GRMN' which predates the GR Yaris by a few years and sold just in Europe. It's the one that uses the Supercharged 1.8L 4cyl producing 209 hp and FWD only. This thing is pretty much a unicorn and very rare since only a few hundreds ever sold. Then there's the 'GRMN Yaris' that appeared in this video which is the track focused version of the regular GR Yaris. This one is using the Turbocharged 1.6L 3cyl producing around 260-280hp (depending on your country) and AWD.
for a short moment i was thinking about selling my gr yaris mk1 to get the mk2 (when i first heard about the mk2 some month ago) ... then my dealer informed me about the prize ... i was shocked 😳 and wil stay with my mk1 😍🥰
I don't understand why people shit on 3-cyl cars, I like their "harsh" growl, it's way more interesting that those artificial pops&bangs in emerging like golf R with akrapovic exhaust.
@@oskarskalski2982 As a Mk8 Golf R owner, there is nothing "artificial" in the way it sounds. I do not shit on shit. Simple as that. It is just a shit to put 3 cylinder econ engine in a performance vehicle. That's it.
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson clueless. I had a Golf R and the EA888 is characterless compared to the GRY motor. The Golf is ok but I had to spend another 10k on brakes, suspension and tuning to make it feel any good. The GRY just does it out of the box.
I want one so bad.. but man the price is skyrocketing. When the first gen released it seemed achievable, but after the increases and now the new price it's a bit ridiculous. People are selling the first year models for more than what they have purchased it. :/
Mate.. you are smashing it! This IS the video we wanted to see! excellent! the thoroughness and the fact that you got them ALL, all at once, brilliant! Top cheese! Well done! P.s. I haven't watched it yet.
Toyota engineers admitted during the launch drive of GR Yaris in 2020 that they made huge loss selling the GR Yaris for GBP33k. So when they slapped GBP47k price tag on GR Yaris EVO I understand why the price leapt that much.
The difference in lap times is also something to note. They're doing it in a short track with the manual being driven by a professional driver who really hammering it down, getting a 0.2 difference is no slouch and the gap will be even bigger when you add other factors like amateur drivers & a longer track (which Toyota engineers claimed a 1 second difference in Fuji Speedway)
Every time I click on their video I forget the name of the presenter and the channel. I'm so lucky that Mat tells me this every time at the beginning of the video.
Great indepth video it's nice seeing the improvements. I registered for the ballot, just have to wait and see what happens now to see if i can upgrade to the Gen 2 GR Yaris.
I love the GR Yaris, bummer it costs so much! I would easily trade my CTR FK2 for the newer one if I could! Also the driving skills of the pilot are mind blowing, the precision lap over lap is incredible. Of course, he's a professionel but still needs to be pointed out.
Ever since i discovered the Yaris, I want to own one. Seems to be so much fun in those cars. Especially with the gearbox upgrades you can do. Who doesnt want to own a fun and nimble rally car?
I've seen the one with the vinyl on (the white/gray/red one) on a gas station just two or three days ago in my town. Pretty neat thing and super compact. I'd love to own one of these.
I’m in the ballot for a gen 2. The price hike has put me off a bit , like both special editions but the extra money is a bit strong for the seemingly small difference . Let’s see,
I was going to buy a gen 2, then saw the price increase elsewhere in the world and bought a gen 1 rallye here in Australia. For the extra money, I'll get myself a set of MCA coilovers, a spare set of rims and r-specs and a ecutek tune and be happy with that. I also won't have to sit in front of that dash...
Seems like Toyota are focussed on developing a driver's cars when it comes to the GR Yaris. Nice that they get to pour their heart and soul into something and get recognised for it too.
For me the GRMN is really the one I'd lust for, it's the best looking but I still love that the MKI is a car developed with direct involvement of Tommi Makinen, literally rallying around Finland, which isn't the case for anything after the MKI. The original is also the homologation special, all the newer ones aren't as the body shell has been further modified (have a feeling the motorsport cars are based off the MKI)
It is so nice to see all the engineers excited to see how it performed and also have a laugh. Toyota seems like a great place to work. Imagine what the gen 3 is going to be like 👍
Yep me too. I bought it too in DAT but red. expecting bigger difference and better comments from driving too. Let’s see if it makes better result after small tune. the more power the better it should be vs manual. Still I am not sure if trully D is better choice or just stunt for that video. According to press info manual should be more punchy.
Yes, I had a H Corolla gti-16 H plate with loads done to it ! Lowered, scorpion SS system, Icon race piggyback ECU, Ram Air, etc. It was so much fun, miss it loads.. I WILL get a GR Yaris at some point ❤
@@ballparkcy Yes and they reved to 8000rpm to and screamed so nicly and then the seats where you could squeeze yourself more if you wanted with the adjuster on the side of seat.
Have clocked over 32k in the last Gen GRY. Big hike in price but I'm on the ballot for the Mk2 as a previous buyer (we're the only people toyota allow to now unles you put your name down before a certain time and didn't get one) fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for the vid to get me hyped btw CarWow. Great work!😎
I have decided to stick with my mk2 abd mod it, even thought the dealer trade in is relatively generous, the price hike to mk2 is too much. I’ve only done 11k miles in 3 years, as it is a third car. I have not been disappointed abd think Toyota did a superb job with this little car
To be fair, Toyota admitted they lost money with every pre-refresh version since there are a lot of new stuff coming from it like a completely new engine, new AWD system, and now a new Automatic transmission. They gotta recoup some money somehow hence the price hike (or should i say its true price). The original plan was to just sell 25,000 units minimum to fit WRC's homologation needs but the car's popularity just went through the roof with high demand and Toyota can't possibly ignore that. Pre-refresh owners are genuinely on a bargain of the century back then.
I live in Turkey. Toyota is a very popular brand in Turkey. We love Japanese cars very much. Yaris GR has a large engine capacity of 1600cc. For this reason we need to pay a lot of extra taxes. The price goes up a lot. For this reason, the Toyota dealer cannot bring the GR Yaris. I have a request from Toyota engineers. The engine volume is maximum 1599cc. Kind regards.

Toyota has found an infinite money glitch with these cars.
How is that?
