A WORLD RALLY CAR INCORPORATING THE NEW 2018 SPECIFICATIONS

The World Rally Car is a WRC top category vehicle designed for rally competition. Although extensive modifications have been made to maximize the rally performance, the body is based on that of a production vehicle. Essentially derived from a production vehicle, the car even has a number plate to allow driving on public roads.

The Yaris WRC incorporates the 2018 new World Rally Car specifications, and its high engine performance, intelligent 4WD system, and finely-tuned aerodynamics enable it to be driven safely and quickly on the world’s diverse roads. While based on the previous year’s vehicle, the 2018 specification Yaris WRC features improved aerodynamics, engine, powertrain, and suspension.

By applying what we learned from competing in the 2018 season, we have been able to thoroughly enhance the vehicle’s overall performance and reliability.
