## Toyota GR Yaris Morizo RR: Inspired by Nürburgring Growth
The GR Yaris Morizo RR is a limited-edition, high-performance model born from insights gained during Toyota Gazoo Racing’s (TGR) participation in the 2024 Nürburgring 24-hour race, wiht Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda (“Morizo”) actively driving the No. 109 GR Yaris as a team driver. This model represents a notable evolution of the already acclaimed GR Yaris.
The development of the GR Yaris Morizo RR focused on enhancing downforce and optimizing damping to maximize tire grip, notably on challenging surfaces like the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The goal was to achieve a balance between track performance and everyday usability. the emphasis was on a direct connection between the driver and the vehicle.
Key features include a ample carbon fiber rear wing, a front splitter, side skirts, and a carbon fiber bonnet, all contributing to increased aerodynamic performance. The car features a unique “MORIZO” drive mode, replacing the standard “GRAVEL” mode, with a default front/rear torque split of 50:50. The exterior is finished in a distinctive Gravel Khaki color, complemented by matte bronze alloy wheels.
