Toyota has unveiled the highly anticipated GR Yaris Sebastien Ogier and Kalle Rovanpera Special Editions, marking the culmination of a year-long wait since the concepts were first showcased at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. These special editions not only feature distinctive appearance packages but also boast unique drive modes, including the intriguing "Donut Mode" and "Morizo" mode, setting them apart as truly special vehicles.
The GR Yaris Sebastien Ogier Edition stands out with a Matte Stealth Gray finish, complemented by 18-inch BBS wheels showcasing blue brake calipers. A carbon fiber reinforced plastic rally spoiler adds a touch of motorsport flair to the hatch, while exclusive decals pay tribute to Ogier's successful World Rally Championship (WRC) career and his home country of France. On the other hand, the Rovanpera Edition sports a vibrant three-tone racing livery, matching his WRC accolades, and features a rear wing identical to the one on the GRMN Yaris.
Inside the cabin, both editions boast special badging, contrast stitching unique to each model, and exclusive full TFT gauge displays that showcase specific drive modes. These interior touches reflect the attention to detail and performance-oriented design that aligns with the spirit of WRC.
The Ogier Edition introduces the Morizo Mode, described by Toyota as a drive mode that applies maximum restraint (direct connection) to the front and rear wheels during acceleration, relaxing only as necessary during braking. Additionally, the SEB Mode, named after Ogier himself, is tuned to send more power to the rear wheels than the front, enhancing the dynamic driving experience.
Meanwhile, the Rovanpera Edition brings an exciting addition to the table with the Donut Mode, designed to ensure "slide control during drifting." This feature essentially functions as a drift mode, allowing drivers to execute controlled slides and enjoy an exhilarating driving experience. The KALLE Mode, unique to Rovanpera's edition, incorporates a different rear differential for aggressively swinging out the vehicle's rear during corner entry, putting a strong emphasis on sideways action.
The Toyota GR Yaris Sebastien Ogier and Kalle Rovanpera Special Editions represent a pinnacle in performance-oriented design, paying homage to the WRC drivers after whom they are named. With distinctive appearance packages, exclusive drive modes, and limited availability, these special editions promise an unparalleled driving experience for lucky enthusiasts around the world.
