2018 Yaris GRMN Supercharged

[tmontague]

I'm highly doubtful this will ever step foot on NA soil. It would be quite a fun car for sure as it seems to have a 2zr as the engine. That said, if I was going to spend around 30 grand on a tuner type car, I don't know if I'd go with a Toyota. Strictly due to the lack of tunability with their ECU's and lack of aftermarket support. If Yota is making these cars rare and only doing a very limited production then there will be virtually no aftermarket support.

I'm not sure why 'Yota avoids bringing these to NA, I'm assuming they project poor sales as most people on this continent think of 'Yota as more of a super reliable family vehicle company

The rumor is that its a ZR family engine with the help of lotus supercharging it .
and a Chargecooler in the intake manifold..

Its supposed to be limited edition.. who knows..

We will see

It could be, but if that was the case, then why would they bother to release cars like the FRS/BRZ/86 and tease cars to the likes of a Supra and MR2 successors?
