They Dyno at 280bhp and are running 4.7 to 60 and low13s 1/4 mile so as quick a z4m. Perfect damping for uk roads. Light and Chuck able. Also uniquely for a modern car, they feel rapid, in part to the lovely short hearing meaning you can enjoy a few more heel and toe moments. I've picked up a cancelled order for march, with cars going 5k over RRP secondhand I've done the man maths and taken the plunged. 2021 allocation is soldout. A mini/faster focus RS and I loved that and haven't fallen in love with my z4m for some reason.

Probs worth a read up on the new regs. They're much tighter now on weight declared for emissions testing and it's the reason new cars are being offered with less options and more 'packs'. So the weight for the Yaris aught to be pretty accurate and includes driver weight, so it's really 1220ish kg wet.
My mate just got one in December,sold his heavily modified Audi rs3 saloon,that had over 500bhp,that he had from new and was only 18 months old when he sold it,and he loves his Yaris gr. as you its replacement.+even if there is a noteably slower 0-69 time with the gr Yaris(5.5s,compared to 3.77 in his rs3 saloon).M1k3yC said:
It's mental,but his was specced upto around 35k,which is Crazy for a Yaris,but it will probably be a collector car for some.
His wife wasn't happy when he came home with it though,haha

Do you have a link for a source that shows what the safety inspection involves, please? I'm really curious. I did a very quick Google and nothing jumped out at me. TIA.
On my travels I did notice that the thread on the GR Yaris on Pistonheads runs to hundreds of pages
deposit is paid.... ill get final confirmation that ive got an allocation tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed i get one... i believe their is only a few left now of the 1700 original cars.
they given me an extended test drive for march ( lock down rules depending) and i can get it refunded if im not happy after more time with the car.
... YOLO.
