Yaris T Sport concept debuting at Geneva - Toyota Yaris Forums

Four world and European premieres at Geneva

Innovation and design set the tone for new Toyota models.

Just a few weeks after the European launch of the new Toyota Yaris range, Toyota will unveil a high performance concept of its best selling model at the Geneva motor show.

The T Sport is powered by a 1.8-litre engine, the biggest ever to be installed on this model. New bumpers, radiator grille, alloy wheels and modified suspension convey a more aggressive look, adding to the essence of this sports concept.

I love it when my sources are correct. Lets hope the 1.8 comes here.

Do you have a link to the story?

Pretty cool, except the front end looks like an old VW Beetle

*VitzBoy* · 02-04-2006, 04:55 PM

I'm psyched to see a 1.8L engine!

Gonna be interesting to see what the production version ends up looking like.

It looks like it should have a big dinosaur horn on the front of it...

an suv crossover...???
reminds me of the new golf suv crossover...
maybe it's for the competition...

Sorry all, looks like I was crossed up. The image I posted originally is not the Yaris T-sport, but the Toyota Urban Cruiser Concept. I'll post pics of the Yaris T-sport as soon as they're released. Hopefully the T-sport is just a more aggressive looking Yaris, with the 1.8L engine.

It look very ugly. I prefer a kick in the balls in midnight :) .The only thing that I like is the engine

why? · 02-07-2006, 10:35 AM

From the australian article it seems the T-sport will have about 134 hp. Not bad.

swng · 02-08-2006, 06:57 PM

I always prefer a less aggressive look. The look of the regular Yaris is fine. It's good to be a wolf under a sheep's skin like the AMG or the M Series cars, you know

LOL, like you can be a sleeper in a Benz or BMW.

Now a Toyota on the other hand is perfect for the sleeper role.

echo_hrs · 02-08-2006, 10:14 PM

If we could just convince the mainstream North American media, and the general public for that matter that a $30,000 (26,000 USD) sub-compact Yaris is worth the scratch over a Corolla, or a Camry, then we might actually get the 1.8 verison...

swng · 02-08-2006, 11:23 PM

If the 1.8 engine is the one currently used in the Corolla, which allegedly enjoys more or less the same fuel economy of the Yaris, then I will be looking forward to seeing it put into the Yaris. I reckon that with the lighter weight of the Yaris, this will result in a better than Corolla weight to horse power ratio, thus enhancing performance and fuel economy to a level beyond that of the Corolla and the current Yaris. In other words, a Yaris with that engine can be both more lively and more fuel economical than the Corolla and the current 1.5 Yaris. Oh! Let it come with leather interior, traction/stability control and a 5 or more speed manual or automatic transmission or even the CVT! BY all reckoning, such a car should not be more expensive than a similarly equipped Corolla. My imagination flies.

Be nice, don't wake me up!

I agree that the Yaris 1.8 won't be anywhere near $30k. It'll prolly be $14 or $15 k US at most.

And that is a good point as well, if they pull the gearing and engine straight from the manual Corolla gas mileage could actually go up.

as400g33k · 02-09-2006, 06:18 PM

this is what it might look like with a 1.8l engine....

I love how the only thing written in english is TMG. Isn't that the Modellista concept?
