2022 Toyota GR Yaris Circuit

The GR Yaris is one of Toyota's most consequential performance cars in decades — a genuine homologation special conceived to satisfy World Rally Championship regulations, built on a bespoke platform it shares with nothing else in the range. This 2022 example is specified in Circuit grade, which is where the car makes its strongest case: Torsen limited-slip differentials at both axles, revised GR suspension geometry, red-painted brake calipers, and 18-inch forged 10-spoke alloys in a titanium finish. That combination transforms the standard car into something meaningfully more capable on road and track.

The 1.6-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine — unique in Toyota's lineup and producing 257 bhp — drives through a six-speed manual gearbox and the GR-Four all-wheel-drive system. At 16,000 miles from a single owner, this car has seen real use without being pressed hard, and arrives with full Toyota service history from new and a remaining factory warranty running to March 2027. The Pearl White over black interior combination is clean and purposeful, consistent with a car built around function over showmanship.

As the WRC homologation rules that prompted its creation fade into memory, the GR Yaris Circuit is increasingly recognised as a future collectible — a small, focused, manual AWD performance car that Toyota is unlikely to repeat.
