New season, new ambitions. Toyota in the WRC.

Having won a hat-trick of manufacturers’, drivers’ and co-drivers’ titles in each of the past three years, the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team has its sights set on more success in the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship. The stage is set for the new-look GR Yaris Rally1 HYBRID.

Make ever-better cars

"The challenge is not only to make a winning car for us, but also to make a winning car for our customers. I asked Norihiko Katsuta to take on this challenge next year in the Japanese Rally Championship. Similar to last year when we started competing in the Japanese Rally Championship with the GR Yaris rally car, we may have some problems at first, but we will continue to refine the car and make it a 'championship level car' ". Akio Toyoda

New GR YARIS RALLY1 HYBRID

Beneath its new bold matte black livery, our 2024 challenger has been further developed to make it even stronger in the heat of competition. Designed to the revolutionary new-for-2022 FIA Rally1 regulations, the GR YARIS Rally1 HYBRID combines the same 1.6-litre turbocharged engine from the Yaris WRC paired with a 3.9 kWh battery and a motor-generator unit (MGU), giving drivers over 500 PS at their disposal.

Alongside hybrid power, the cars run on 100 percent sustainable fossil-free fuel – the first of its kind to be used in an FIA motorsports world championship.

All roads lead to better

Tarmac

Twisty turns, unforgiving roads and durable hard tyres. Lowered suspension is a must-have for these high-speed events.

Gravel

Rutted roads, rocky tracks and a range of tyre compounds. Raised gravel suspension is crucial for these hot weather events.

Snow

Frozen roads, snow banks and studded tyres. A loose-surface suspension setup is essential for these sub-zero events.

Developed with the experts at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team, GR Yaris brings leading motorsport technology and know-how to the road. Incorporating a powerful 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine, advanced GR-FOUR 4WD system and lightweight 3-door body, GR Yaris is born from WRC to deliver endless exhilaration on the roads you tackle.

“Two years ago, I asked Jari-Matti for one thing: to create a professional team with a family-like atmosphere. The other day, for the first time, I was able to spend time with the team. During that time, I truly felt that the team, including myself, was a family. No matter what we talked about, it always ended up being about cars. I feel like we are the 'most car-loving family in the world,' which is something you can't find anywhere else." Akio Toyoda
