Toyota introduced a new special edition of the GR Yaris hot hatch, with a limited production of 51 units, reserved for the Italian market. The GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition celebrates 51 years since the automaker’s first victory in the World Rally Championship, with a vintage livery and unique badging.
The TGR Italy Limited Edition is distinguished from the red decals over a white bodywork, making it look like a rally car. The livery is inspired by the classic Corolla 1600 Coupe that took Toyota’s first WRC victory at the 1973 Press On Regardless Rally in Michigan.

Another unique touch on the exterior is the TGR Italy limited edition emblem. A similar badge can be found inside the cabin, bearing the production number of each unit. The hot hatch rides on a set of 18-inch forged wheels finished in Heritage Gold and shod in semi-slick Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires.
Standard equipment includes the Tech Package, adding parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert with automatic braking.
There are no changes on the turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, which produces 276 hp (206 kW / 280 PS) in the facelifted EU-spec model. The TGR Italy Limited Edition is exclusively available with the eight-speed automatic gearbox, sending power to all four wheels via the rally-bred GR-Four system.
The GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition will be exclusively available on Toyota‘s Italian website, starting September 9. Each of the 51 units will be priced at €67,500 ($74,594), with deliveries expected by the end of 2024. The pre-order requires a deposit of €2,500 ($2,762), which includes a test ride with the racecar, two VIP passes for the 2025 TGR Italy season, a special car cover, and Gazoo Racing sportswear.
