Toyota introduced the Yaris GRMN at the Geneva Motor
Show in March, and it now appears the company is working on a five-door
variant.
Recently caught undergoing testing in Southern
Europe, this hot hatch is a dead-ringer for the Yaris GRMN as the only
noticeable differences between the two models are body-color mirror caps,
chrome trim, and a stock rear bumper. Those will likely be replaced
with production components in the near future.
The five-door model
will have an aggressive body kit that includes new bumpers, a tailgate-mounted
spoiler, and 17-inch BBS wheels that are backed up by a high-performance
braking system. The car should be equipped with an upgraded cabin featuring
sport seats, aluminum pedals, and a steering wheel sourced from the Toyota 86.
Motivation will be provided by a supercharged
1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 205 PS. It will send power to the
front wheels via a limited-slip differential and a six-speed manual
transmission. There's no word on when the production model will
arrive.
