List out some of the coolest bosses on the planet and you’d be hard pressed to exclude Akio Toyoda. You might know him as the president of that rather large car company bearing his family name, Toyota. The man breathes motorsports and was fully behind the GR Yaris right from the start.

Bookings of the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris were opened earlier this year, whereby potential buyers had the opportunity to get their hands on the 1st Edition version of the high-performance hatchback. What sets the 1st Edition models apart from the rest?

After all, it’s apt for his signature to be on the GR Yaris, as Gazoo R
