    296 HP (221 kW) Toyota GRMN Yaris In Development Says Report

    For most people and GR Yaris owners out there, it is a pretty perfect offering as is but if you are wanting a little bit more from your little Rally machine then Toyota might be answering your prayers with a more hardcore GRMN Yaris.

    Japan’s Car Sensor reports the GRMN Yaris is being considered for launch within the coming years as a more hardcore, track-focused version of Toyota‘s rally-bred GR Yaris hot hatch.

    Prototypes have been spotted already sporting exterior upgrades like front canards, a larger front splitter, aerodynamic elements in front of the wheel arches, and a cooling vent behind the front wheels. There is also a tall rear wing towering over the tailgate, likely intended to reference Toyota’s World Rally Championship efforts.

    The Japanese publication suggests the bonnet will be carbon fibre to drop weight and there may be a rear seat delete turning the GRMN model into a two-seater.

    Under the bonnet, the 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder will be tuned to push out 296 hp (221 kW) which is the rumoured output of the upcoming GR Corolla.

    Car Sensor does not provide a launch date but before we get excited about this, it may not even get the green light for production. We think it will come to fruition but let’s wait and see.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
