The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires sized 225/40 by 18-inch are superior to the Dunlop SP Sports Maxx tires of the GR Yaris without the Rallye suffix, and they’re complemented by 18-inch forged alloys from BBS instead of Enkei alloys. The differences continue with the high-performance suspension components, which are complemented by Torsen limited-slip differentials for both axles.
Both variants are officially rated by Toyota at 200 kW and 370 Nm, figures that convert to 268 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque from a 1.6-liter turbo with three cylinders and D4S dual injection. The question is, how much quicker is the Rallye in comparison to the GR Yaris on the racetrack?
