Sharpening the Toyota GR Yaris is extremely difficult, despite the fact that the Japanese lends itself to its aggressive design. However, for many the aggressiveness they show is not enough and they require a further degree. Those from HKS, Japanese specialists, have achieved this with a special carbon fiber package.
In Japan, the glances of tuning specialists hover over the GR Yaris sports car. The small Japanese sports car has become one of the most coveted pieces to propose special preparations that add a touch of more aggressiveness and sportiness to the whole, despite the fact that those of Gazoo Racing warned that all the pieces that could be subject to touch-ups had already been retouched they.
And it is that those of the Toyota sports division not only focused on developing a very sporty model, but they have also done a great aerodynamic job to get the maximum performance from the whole, with a chassis that was specially conceived for racing rallies. This is what the Japanese have taken advantage of HKS, assuming the original specific components had room for improvement.
The GR Yaris becomes a coveted sports car from HKS
And so it is obvious that this GR Yaris is much more special, designed to shine especially on Toyota’s series production model. Not only decorative stickers are a powerful eye-catcher, but new accessories: the front spoiler, the side skirts and the two rear spoilers, all made of exposed carbon fiber.
Technically, the HKS GR Yaris also has new features at a dynamic level, as the preparer has implemented the “Hypermax S” system, which has new springs and front and rear shock absorbers, lowering the height of the body to the ground in 25 millimeters at the front and 26 millimeters at the rear. In addition, the 18-inch alloy wheels are mounted on 255 / 35R18 size tires.
On the mechanics side, the HKS guys have installed different parts, including new exhaust silencers, air filter and a new chip that change boost pressure by being positioned directly between the turbo pressure sensor and the Shift 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine control unit. The preparer has not indicated changes in the specifications and performance, but he has pointed out that the exhaust system has a new chamber that eliminates the sound of the three-cylinder engine, opting for a more raw sound.
