Time magazine labelled 2020 as the “worst year ever” for most of us alive today. We witnessed the widespread cancellation of gatherings, global lockdowns, and the far-reaching consequences these had on the economy. Our lifestyles have probably been changed as well. It’s a year to forget for many, but in the midst of all of it, the automotive world was gifted a rally homologation special – the Toyota GR Yaris. It was a car that made zero financial sense. Toyota, as a company, could’ve carried on

Toyota President Akio Toyoda’s promise of bidding goodbye to the end of analogue cars era by gifting enthusiasts three GR sports cars is now complete, and there won’t be any more GR models to follow, confirms Toyota GR86’s chief engineer Yasunori Suezawa. When asked by Australian publication Drive if there are other GR models to follow, Suezawa said “There is none left actually, so this [the GR86] is the last.” The GR models here refer to the company's 4 core GR models - 3 GR sports cars GR Yari

The keyboard warriors demanded it and Toyota has finally given them what they’ll never be able to afford; a manual Toyota Supra.

By now, you would have read about how the JZA 80 Toyota Supra that was driven by Paul Walker in the Fast and Furious franchise sold for a eye-watering USD 550,000 (RM 2.28 million), making it the most expensive Supra yet. I definitely agree that this price is indeed out of this world, especially considering there was another Deep Jewel Green Pearl JZA80 Toyota Supra in the same Barett-Jackson auction, that was put on the block for USD 88,000 (RM 365,728). That's still a lot of money, but it's si

The Toyota GR Yaris has been launched in Malaysia, starting from a staggering price of RM299k. The tiny Toyota GR Yaris is the car we never asked for, but we all love. For those of us dreaming of the GR Yaris (but couldn't afford one), photo manipulator, Theophilus Chin has blessed us with renderings of a Perodua GR Axia instead. Apart from the number of cylinders and the number of wheels, both the Toyota GR Yaris and Perodua Axia share very little in common. The Toyota GR Yaris produces 261 PS

Some say that it’s quite possibly the best homologation car in recent years, some say it’s probably the best Toyota in the world. All we know is, the Toyota GR Yaris has been awarded Hot Hatch of the Year by Top Gear Magazine (TGM). The sprightly, mighty rally car for the streets received its third major award in three weeks since its UK launch. Talk about being perfect on your debut! According to the magazine’s editor, Jack Rix, everything about the GR Yaris seemed right. “From its bespoke, inf
