Toyota goes Back to the Future with the GR Yaris GR-Four | fullBOOST

Homologated for the World Rally Championship and led by rally legend Tommi Mäkinen, the new GAZOO Racing Toyota GR Yaris is a throwback to the 1990s era of light weight turbocharged AWDs. Available in manual only, this is Toyota’s first AWD performance car since the Celica GT-Four which ceased production over 20 years ago. A unique engine choice, the Yaris GR is powered by a turbocharged 3-cylinder 1.6L engine producing 200kW and 360Nm, coupled to an electronic variable full time AWD system, enough to propel this little Toyota to 13-second ¼ mile performance out of the box.
We caught up with the team from the Auto Innovation Centre recently for a closer look at some of the finer points of the Yaris’ design elements and where the aftermarket industry might develop future upgrades. | www.autoic.com.au

[@black7rc720]

I really enjoyed this guys! Any chance of teaming up with AIC and doing more of these type of videos? Awesome work!

[@raddeal1]

This is the kind of car review I like to watch

[@kc-nl8zc]

I agree with your comment

[@warboyrb]

Agree. Looks like a great place.

[@tobythomas5079]

2nd this, would be cool to see a walk around of the fd rx7, or maybe one of the supra?

[@robomeara9860]

amazing review, technically excellent and focused on the engineering

[@markbithrey3635]

Can’t believe I’m excited about a Yaris that thing is mint

[@TheOrgonaut]

'"Because metric runs the world " so true

[@JeepCherokeeful]

America should transition to the metric system. Would only help in the long run.

[@nickbarclay6325]

High quality video. Very informative. Really enjoyed the deep dive into how Toyota engineered this car. That two post hoist was the ultimate flex 💪🏻

[@ljguy300]

The hunter alignment machine isn't too bad either.

[@r32gtr68]

What a fantastically informative video, Bloody brilliant! And that AIC workshop will be in my dreams!

[@madmick3794]

Fullboost and AIC, what a brilliant video. Thanks for making this, totally enjoyed it.

[@willynebula6193]

That hoist WTF Probably cost more than the car!

[@paulnorman8274]

$40K car, $4mill garage.... That's having ones priorities straight....

[@diaspo]

Outstanding review fellas. Thanks.

[@karlwilliams8208]

Congratulations, amazing the work your doing for industry and so flowing onto to car enthusiasts. I'll receive my GR January so I'm definitely going to be watching your channel. Keep up the great work guys.

[@edbeme2474]

Fullboost brings out another banger of a vid!

[@DriftLifeAus]

Solid review lads! Loved the engineering insights into the car and slick AIC workshop.

[@joshuawatson9486]

Awesome work need more of these videos

[@internet_internet]

This thing is amazing. Y’all’s 3D scanning process is incredible, too!

[@bondy284]

Best breakdown video of the Yaris GR on KZbin 👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@fiestaria]

That garage and tools! Absolute paradise... Fantastic overview of the car, subscribed 👏

[@gsxr1000testpilot]

Great video guys, Well done

[@ricardo9628]

That moment when toyota puts a manual transmission in their new GR Yaris but not the new GR Supra 😐

[@Veikra]

wow now that sucks.

[@SirBigzalot]

Ones homologation one isn’t.

[@gtr5860]

cuz that yaris is made by themselves

[@MaddNomad1015]

Y’all still wouldn’t buy it anyways.

[@sheshd]

BMW didn't put the manual in you mean...

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

REALLY great vid. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Nice one guys.

[@aposparta]

That 2 post hoist is cool as!

[@2burning2turning]

I don’t know what’s more impressive, the gr Yaris or that hoist.

[@ljguy300]

And the rig to take the tire off without killing your back. Would love to work/study in that shop/RnD facility.

[@rikaus9273]

Watching this as a UK resident, very much enjoyed 👍

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

What a bloody review 👍

[@yowie0889]

Stephen Merchant seems to know a lot about cars.

[@fheydari]

Excellent video and the most informative I have seen so far on the Yaris GR, in English at least. And what a workshop!

[@Gardus82]

Fantastic in depth analysis! Thanks I'm thinking of buying one

[@mrdatsun211]

Awesome run down guys! Really great to here some more expert info around the car as well as thoughts on the car.

[@SKODA20V]

Great Video I`ve just ordered a GR Yaris with Circuit pack here in Scotland, great informative video - Awesome to see the bits in depth Thanks

[@madrx2]

I can't wait to drive one of these.

[@guyorton2476]

Bloody unreal Top video 🙌🏽👌🏽

[@masterdinosawr]

This is awesome. Super detailed video with stuff thats NEVER been done before with this car. This has to be the best brand new car you can get for the money. Love a little pocket rocket with some Evo heritage (tmak) ;)

[@theimprovementsguy8871]

Great video. Cant wait to see track action and basic tuning

[@k-9iqdogtrainingandadulted511]

Thanks for making such informative videos.

[@tristanjones344]

Excellent work fellas. Nice to see Australian companies leading the way. And as a Yaris GR owner I look forward to seeing what becomes available. Keep up the good work.

[@IBOO57]

Respect. Quality vid.

[@danielspencer1973]

That was great, really nice workshop too. Interested to see development on that engine, or an extra cylinder!

Such a great vid.. I loved the unexpected drag with the Rex, lol. Was it an Sti? Quite funny.

[@mattmace10]

I really loved this video, full of great information and editing as usual. I'd love for you guys to maybe go back and do an overview of what AIC does, or even more cars with them!

[@Oplese]

Great insight Vid guys 👌

[@andyboyize]

Great vid!

[@seancollins6524]

Sweet Machine. Fantastic video clip 👌 looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@DrCrimp-sg5pb]

I drove it last Monday. 1h test drive... going to buy one! This car is just a masterpiece

[@getupstandupsouthafrica9225]

This was really cool and interesting. I like how you guys do your reviews , keep up the good work👍🏽🙏🏾thanks for the video

[@getupstandupsouthafrica9225]

Ps from South Africa ✌🏾

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Congrats on the purchase boys, what an upgrade on the little Megane. 😎👍 I'm still torn about the 3 banger though. On one hand, that distinctive 3 banger "sound" ala Suzuki Alto's, on the other hand, that performance that's the best in a 3 banger since the Charade GTti. 😍

[@woznaldo]

Quality video. AIC seem like a very professional outfit! I concur with their findings/predictions. I’d like to see some suspension alignment products first up, just to dial in what is already there. Looks like the Aus market are only getting a handful of Rallye models so diff upgrades will be popular. Nice work!!

[@mark7457]

Instant collectable. All aboard!

[@krispykruzer]

Nice stuff...Toyota killing it

[@positiveenergyautomotive9724]

Can’t wait until mine gets here! July is such a long way away 😩

[@onedayiwillmakesomecontent]

Let me be the first to say, best use of the $150k instant asset write off thus far! Lol 💸😄

[@MrNicBOZ]

Great video

[@kalaitzisjohn7123]

very professional demonstration of a new fast car

[@robotstobor3388]

Thank you that was excellent. I have the Feverish red as well.

[@frankly88]

What a wicked little car

[@nealejarvis68]

Thanks Fullboost ,very informative and in detail from the guys at AIC. Q: Has AIC dissected the Ford Focus RS mk3 , I can’t tell you how many owns would love a Aussie made front seat lowering kit, as there is zero height adjustment . Thanks again.

[@grahamtill9844]

Don't mind the front to rear weight distribution, the important one is cross corner weight, which is at 50.78% to 49.22%. For a production car that is phenomenal! It would make this thing more chuckable than a crying new-born!

[@wass006]

This is brilliant, nice to see from an engineering perspective.

[@deankdx]

This was a very surprising episode! learned some things, saw an amazing workshop.. the hoist and wheel aligner alone are impressive. That Yaris is starting to look like a bargain when you see the build of it too!

[@tuitaco]

Never thought i'd be lusting for a Yaris, but fuck man these are sweet. It seems like all homologation road cars are legendary so I'm not surprised.

[@gazza116]

really good run over of the yaris.

[@kierenalvarez]

The Zupr4 is plagued by the fact it is a BMW pretending to be something it's not. The Yaris GR is the birth of a true JDM legend. A rare thing these days.

[@eNeRGizer99Nick]

Awesome Vid, very informative! I really want to work there!!!

[@filterss]

OMFG that hoist!!!

[@bigkeg9173]

Well done Toyota 👍

[@noahchive777]

You know you made it when you have a webcam on your alignment machine.

[@yarisTSk]

i love both !

[@chubbybrown4real]

Fantastic movie Gents 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@solarflare1008]

3 cylinder no wonder the manual only model. Practically on flat land no for the high mountains. Nice video.

[@Holmesy89]

Look, its no RX8 but I'm not disappointed

[@markjmaxwell9819]

A very interesting car Three cylinders with BIG pistons and plenty of room in the engine bay for engine ancillery devices... Some very cool technology...

[@matmul4850]

The positivity shown the world over towards this car has been unanimous. Toyota should really consider increasing its limited prodution run of 35k units to satisfy the undouded customer demand. Awesome little car

[@blitzyosrs2104]

did you guys actually order and buy one? im so excited for the return of small turbo manual homologation specials.

[@fullboost]

Sure did :)

[@blitzyosrs2104]

@@fullboost love it

[@nismofreak33]

insane!

[@georgegao3115]

so cool hot hatch

[@AutoInnovationCentre]

Thanks for visiting the AIC and sharing this engineering/look over video on this cool little pocket rocket @fullboost! A GR Yaris will be added to our fleet in early 2021 for companies to use for testing and product development. Scan data of the car/components will also be made available, adding to our ever buiding scan data library. You can learn more about the AIC and how we help the aftermarket industry at www.autoic.com.au We may look at doing more videos along these lines in the future!

[@robomeara9860]

please do more AIC videos

[@Mr_jz_12]

Can't wait to see the specs on the GRMN version.

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

@3:20 Ha driving through Springvale should have stopped at BunBun Bakery for a pork roll!!!! #devine !!! Top vid but guys👌👌👌 that hoist is off its nut!!

[@ltruskinger]

Can confirm that happened but wasn’t included in the vid. Yes really

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

@@ltruskinger Best $6 meal of all time!!!

[@fullboost]

I can attest they are very tasty 👌👌

[@gusmodelmaker]

I've just watched savagegeese's video on the Lexus LFA and the steering rack of this Yaris looks very similar...

[@rickya9514]

I was thinking exactly the same thing just now!

[@lecoureurdesbois86]

Makes sense, manufacturers get experience and often re-use similar designs, but pretty cool to know

[@torincatanzaro8095]

This was interesting

[@onedayiwillmakesomecontent]

Good job boys, I got to sit in one of these two weeks ago, very VERY nice. The people at Toyota head office in South Aus, reckon the Yaris toasts the Supra in a heads-up launch!

[@fullboost]

I would say it wouldn't out perform a Supra 👍

[@arazkarbet671]

Nice hoist

[@3800S1]

Very cool.

[@mattsmally747]

Toyota is fucking back baby

[@kalsaumesatungiamata9066]

Thank God Mr.Toyoda teamed up with Makinen to built this WRC bred car.

[@Shifty_Malone]

Everything about this car and this video is such a positive thing for car enthusiasts. I can't wait to see someone remove the front drive train for a more even weight balance and a full time FR hot hatch, with an upgraded LSD in the rear as mentioned!

[@timjrvine]

AIC has a very bright future.

[@Veikra]

Clutched rear diff, Front biased awd . Should test if it goes up a ramp without front traction (rollers)

[@Krooker85]

Now Toyota, lets see a 2.0ltr turbo AWD GR Corolla!

[@OlyMar83]

Waiting for lowered suspension for this bad boy. Hopefully soon with the help of these guys. Going rims 18x9 +45 tyre 255 35 r18.

[@arzemagic]

In the UK the competition pack ones get red calipers but doesn’t include the heads up display for some reason

[@WORMGERM]

That Sooby kicked your arse.

[@5lcalais1]

To be fair they weren't trying too hard lol its not their car for 1 and it's brand new ,your not really surpose to beat on em too hard until 20/30k 🤔😂 Honestly if they really gave it to it it'd blow the subbys doors off their hinges 🤔😂

[@adamheazlett1179]

That hoist is great. Normal 2 post hoist is a door wrecker

[@BroomysGarage]

Will I need to modify the VF finally so I don’t get chopped by one of these ? 🤣

[@tturi2]

a good cam with ported heads?

[@liamultraracer2060]

Dont put turbos in it though. Removes the beastly part of it.

[@mills3375]

Ahahahahah same

[@cheapcharlie7]

Time for a 2K Barra 😜

[@wobblysauce]

So time for a barra huh?

[@SirDaffyD]

I'd love one!! I wonder if MCM have ordered one to replace Yaris Hilton. lol.

[@wobblysauce]

They are looking to be great and that asking price is nothing, for the value. But that hoist is grand.

[@cakeofthepan2233]

I want one and I'm glad you don't deal in imperial.

[@positiveenergyautomotive9724]

The Japanese track pack comes with an intercooler sprayer as well as a few other carbon bits from Gazoo racing. They also sell one in RC trim with smaller brakes and wheels and a few other strange changes for people who want to gravel rally

[@FatTonysPastaandGreaseballs]

Looks like they stopped past Broadmeadows and pinched a “turbo” badge of the back of a VL. That engine cover is nearly identical

[@mangomcpoo475]

Keen!!!

[@Jake_Hamlin]

The Radar system is probably needed for a decent safety rating, it also opens opportunity for "plug in" self driving systems like Comma ai.
