Ogier, it’s so a humble and kind man. met him once and he really take the time to react on questions that fans where asking. Even when I understand that so many people around the world want to talk with Ogier about his Rally performances and other questions. But to take always the time for that things. It’s says a lot about the person. I wish him the best in Monte-Carlo, and it’s really cool to have you’re personal edition of the GR Yaris. Bless you 🙏
Thanks for this, such a nice little edit/review. Love Ogier as a driver and human. Of course, any GR Yaris is forbidden fruit here in the states, however I think I could do without one kidney and one testicle to have a crack at one of these limited run specials!!!
I truly appreciate Toyota for the extensive tests they take their cars, thrashing them, even by their own CEO and learn from their mistakes and actually make a better car. Fn amazing.
Hehe that is just the "special show model", its available in precious metal (the gray one), emotion red, precious black, platinum white and pearlescent white. Well I say that, but to be able to customize it to your liking people need to get in on it right now (before April I think). I ordered mine in pearlescent white MT
Since I am planning to change from my 2021 GR Yaris to the new Automatic face-lift model. I hope these special editions come to the UK since they are planned for Europe.
If you want one, make sure to get on the order list before april this year or the waiting game is going to be off the chart. I ordered my Gen 2 last week, my dealership in the Netherlands had three on order only because the manager is friends with people on the Gazoo Racing development team. Mind you an estimated 3/15 for the Netherlands, this one is even more limited than the OG GR Yaris. So best get on that ASAP
@@RagicaltheUnhallowedKnight You didn't order one as the dealers can't order them yet. There will be a hand-raiser platform in March, it is currently impossible to order one...
If you listened carefully he said “I drove it yesterday for the first time and i was quite positively surprised” all the while he was pulling a very “meh” expression on his face which speaks more than the words he said. (Toyota is his employer he’s not going to downplay their new product) and the Japanese engineer in another video stated the auto was “to help people who can’t drive a manual get to experience the car” If you know how to drive a manual properly then on almost 90% of open roads it will be quicker.
@@mikeormond7883 What the hell do you mean by a "manual". The Gazoo Racing Yaris WRC has a crash sequential racing gearbox, why because its faster than a "manual".
only 200 is abit of a kick in the cock....... by the time iv saved up for one it will be more expensive to buy...... could have done 2500 like old school homologation...... still, nice bit o kit!!
200 cars is just for the Ogier/Rovanpera special edition. The rest of the trim is business as usual. Because of GR Yaris' unprecedented success by being sold for far more than the required 25,000 cars to be sold for homologation (they sold 32k), Toyota has decided that the GR Yaris will no longer be a limited run model and they will continue producing more GR Yaris in the future.
@@AbrahamArthemius I'm fairly sure modern cars don't have homologation rules anymore or they are way more lax as in any of the Yarises sold count towards the homologation. GR Yaris was at first done of necessity and now it's just because it's nice.
These guys use whatever is faster for them. In this case, Ogier is just being neutral during a corporate press release and hyping the auto transmission up so the lethargic 60+ year old boomers don't feel so about for buying the wrong option. Rally drivers are familiar with a manual sequential box with a clutch and they know that is ensures peak performance for them and is able to endure the stress from the drivetrain.

Ogier is a true class act! Go Toyota!
So cool to see things like this coming out of the rally world.

jealous of everything. the car, getting taxied by Sebastian, going on track 😅
I truly appreciate Toyota for the extensive tests they take their cars, thrashing them, even by their own CEO and learn from their mistakes and actually make a better car. Fn amazing.
love that playful rear
Great to see Toyota listening to drivers, Kudos
Nice edition!
I hope Seb change his mind and want to fight for the 24 title!
I`d like see Ogi and Kalle driving their signature models, as Kalle has some strange drifting mode in it.
Thank you Toyota for listening to your customers and giving us the GR Yaris!
I hope the manual will still be an option for normal GR Yaris.
The car is still coming with a manual as standard.
The new 8AT is optional, alongside the rally-style handbrake placement.
It is, I ordered mine as MT
@@AbrahamArthemiusvertical handbrake is for japanese RC model, both AT and MT.
Bring back colour! Bloody Gray.

How can we order one in the uk?
I was told we can't do anything till the beginning of March?
@@jay_b.. I guess certain Toyota dealers have better connections to Gazoo Racing and the Lexus factory

Good luck mate, waiting over two years on list for the mk1

@@SanderVandeWiel you're uninformed
Great looking car, but what is with everyone choosing grey, black and white for car colors. I buy one of these it’s getting wrapped day one.
Really want one!

Ainda há algum disponível 😢😢😢😢😢 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤🇵🇹
Great Toyota WRC Line Up for 2024
GR Yaris is a modern day homologation car. God I wish they sold these in north america :(
Automatic (DCT), the correct gearbox for racing and the track.....Agreed Sebastian.
nope.
@@joelbates8243 Yeah, what would Sébastien Ogier know?

In the number of years....those two editions will have their values increase....
How strong is this new at box? Can it handle 500hp?
Boxy fenders in the rear, circular fenders in front like a gtr. I prefer matchy-matchy, boxy fenders all around please.
How much will it cost ?
I might have to buy me that dirt fish jacket I likey ❤
Es el circuito del Jarama?
too bad they dont have it in the US...what a shame
Most probably you'll have same version in the GR Corolla.
Lovely video
Jarri Matti yawning non stop wasn’t a good look!😂
I have the first version and love it. I must say this new model has some great improvements but I don't like the 1980's Cadillac Allante Dashboard.
But a Rocket doesn't look pretty sorry .The Puma ST is a Queen 👑👻
Subaru watch and lean.cvt!
Eccola❤
I want you to include Japanese subtitles😢
I wish to have enough money to buy it❤

The 200 off is just the Ogier edition. The original car had a build quantity of 25000

I still find Yaris fugly no matter how GR'ed it is
i wondering, why not put in this car long stroke suspension like subaru had in older models. rear shocks is a joke, frankly.
A rally driver driving the automatic transmission version? Seriously?
Whats the question? Seriously!. You must know what this "Automatic" box is, its a bit special ... try keeping up!
It's actually faster around the track by 0.1 of a second
ハンドリングのあまりの過激さのせいか助手席のオッサンの笑顔もひきつって見えるね😸💦🎵
Manual gear is much better
worse in every aspec, but much more fun
@@KasperC03So not EVERY aspect then. 😂
shame it looks like a lego brick
Sigh.
The auto is not better. Screw the auto.
Hans de Bauw is such an annoying Person to see.
Such a shame to see a rally driver using an auto

@@AKK5I The "Wrong" option! LMFAO!!
The technology in this car is great but it’s still an ugly bike on 4 wheels. It screams Toyota and that has never been hot in the past decades.
Are you on drugs? This is an amazing looking car. Look even better in the flesh.
@@gavin6841 Nope, no drugs😂. Everybody has his own taste and for me it looks like a kids toy. But no doubt it’s big fun to take it out for a ride.
@@gavin6841He’s right. It looks gash.
That's why its sold out
@@mayhem88 What’s your point? The Toyota Prius is a worldwide bestseller, how ugly is that car?
