It's a rare occurrence when a car manufacturer or its racing division announces plans to create vehicles intended to push to their limits. However, that's precisely what Toyota's Gazoo Racing (TGR) revealed during the debut of three unique Yaris models at the 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon, which commenced today in Chiba, Japan.
For many years, TGR has led the way in creating racing variants of Toyota's flagship vehicles. With the arrival of the new Yaris featuring an updated automatic transmission, this particular model has now piqued the interest of the racing team.
In 2024, TGR has ambitious goals in store, and this becomes apparent the moment you enter the Toyota exhibit at the Chiba show. The central theme of the showcase is straightforwardly titled "Car-making at Nurburgring," setting clear expectations for what's to come.
