Used Totoya GRMN YARIS 'Circuit package' for saleTOYOTA GAZOO Racing Premieres GRMN Yaris Limited to 500 Units -BBS GRMN dedicated 18-inch wheels 18-inch brakes -Bilstein® shock absorber with adjustable damping force -Carbon (twill weave CFRP) Rear spoiler -Side skirt -Lip spoiler -RECARO full bucket seats with side airbags It features a close-ratio gear transmission and a low final gear set that has been refined in the field of motorsports. For gear ratios, close-ratio 1st to 4th gears make efficient use of the engine power band, and low final gears for optimized driving force have been combined. To improve reliability during endurance races and other situations, SNCM material was used and shot processing was added to 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and final gears, significantly improving shock torque and fatigue strength. In addition to the lightweight high-rigidity carbon (twill weave CFRP) used for the hood, roof, and rear spoiler, removing the rear seats to make it a two-person car, has achieved weight reduction of approximately 20 kg*6 compared to the GR Yaris. The number of spot welds has increased by 545*6 compared to the GR Yaris, and body rigidity has been further enhanced by applying 12-m*6 longer structural adhesive. This gives more direct response to driver's input. As with the GR Yaris, production will be carried out on a dedicated production line at Toyota's Motomachi Plant, and plans are for assembly to be carried out by takumi (master craftsperson) team members.
