2026 Toyota GR Yaris Aero Performance

The GR Yaris Aero Performance grade showed off the six new aerodynamic parts which improve stability and cooling by optimising air flow around the vehicle. An uncompromising approach to targeted improvements has resulted in a more confident ride - including improved straight-line stability and cornering - for a greater sense of unity between car and driver.

A new large cooling duct and grille on the aluminium bonnet mirrors the contoured shape of the GRMN Yaris' carbon-fibre bonnet. During high-speed driving, it improves cooling by discharging heat from the engine compartment. It was developed and proven in the Japanese Rally Championship.

A front lip spoiler refined in Super Taikyu helps to increase aerodynamic efficiency by suppressing front lift, improving lift balance and enhancing grip. The spoiler was engineered with Kazuya Oshima, a professional driver who competes with Morizo's Rookie Racing team in the Super Formula, Super GT and Super Taikyu championships in Japan.

A prominent, variable rear spoiler contributes to high-speed handling as well as confident braking. Its angle can be manually adjusted to suit different circumstances, bringing out the best in the GR Yaris whether on the racetrack or in the city.

A revised floor undercover optimises underbody airflow and further improves the aerodynamics. It was inspired by the flat bottom of the fuel tank used in Super Taikyu.

New fender ducts, located between the front wheel and the door, release rear-flowing air that accumulates in the front wheelhouse. This improves the steering feel under heavy braking and handling stability at corner entry.

Ducts on each side of the rear bumper decrease the drag coefficient by allowing smoother airflow under the car. They were introduced in response to a scenario encountered by a GR Yaris in Super Taikyu, when a rear bumper was detached due to aerodynamic loads.

Meanwhile, a rally-style vertical handbrake, which utilises insights gained from competing in the WRC and Japanese Rally Championship, is available as an option.

Together, the six new components express the full potential of the GR Yaris and create a sharper appearance with a heightened sense of purpose and style. The GR Yaris Aero Performance is available to order in Europe.
