Powering this vehicle is a 1.6-liter G16E-GTS inline-3 turbocharged gasoline engine capable of making 257 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque. With those numbers in mind, the GR Yaris is one of the most powerful cars with a 3-cylinder power unit.
The third GR model that will excite visitors of the auto show is the all-new Toyota GR 86. Now in its second generation, the GR 86 gets a larger 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated boxer-4 engine, delivering 233 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels, providing a sports car driving characteristic.
