Gran Turismo 7 Special Edition Toyota Yaris Revealed, Limited to 100 Units​

Gran Turismo series partner Toyota has revealed a special, limited edition version of its Toyota Yaris hatchback, which not only bears the Gran Turismo 7 name but comes with a free copy of the game and a PlayStation 5 console...

Wait, so now we have to buy a whole car to get our hands on a PS5?

"The car is only available in Spain."

I think we have a clue where the launch event will be - if there is an in-person event in these complicated days that we are living...

 

[MagpieRacer]

Japanese car brand, with a Japanese game studio, comes with a Japanese games console, in a French named colour, only available in Spain.

Ok..

Could have at least done it as a GR 😆

Kazunori really likes Spain.

This Yaris and the 2022 Nissan Z are the first cars comes in an update, maybe

Hopefully the event wont become a battleground for scalpers..

Pfft I bet it handles like a Video Game.

 

[GBO Possum]

Has the boot/trunk been enlarged so as to fit the disk version of the PS5?

 

[opelgt1969]

Not priced much higher as some PS5's I've seen on AMAZON.

I hope you got the car on time, because they're sold out again !

 

[Jepadante]

Unmatched in cuteness the Yaris is

 

[O604]

Very nice car but can't help but feel it kind of comes across as a knock-off GR Yaris.

Like when they present it as a prize, the winner will be wondering, so this isn't the GR Yaris?

Not that anyone really needs a 4wd 300hp GR Yaris.

 

[egl92]

I'm spanish and I know about TGR Iberian Cup that is an upcoming rally championship with four rallies in Portugal and four in Spain.

The car is basically a stock GR Yaris with some modifications in suspension, dampers, brakes, exhaust, cooling system and obviously a FIA aproved roll cage.
Is made by MSi (Motor & Sport Institute)

The price is €68,000+taxes for tarmac configuration.
An optional gravel kit is available from €5,800+taxes.

The first time to see on action will be at the Azores Rallye on 25-26 March.

It’s a curious choice of car, given that the current generation Yaris doesn’t appear in Gran Turismo 7 yet, or at least as far as we know.

Uuhhh. Yes it does?

・Toyota GR Yaris with country-specific liveries​

Players will receive a car with a special livery designed in the colors of the national flag of the country where their account for PlayStation®Network is registered (the designs cover 30 different countries). Users residing in non-eligible countries will receive a standard-liveried version.

 

[SestoScudo]

Does it come with a in built PS5?

 

[eran0004]

Scalpers everywhere

 

[Famine]

Uuhhh. Yes it does?

No, it doesn't. That's a GR Yaris, not a Yaris.

 

[Nowax]

Scalpers everywhere

Could you actually imagine that scalpers end up buying an over 20.000€ car only to sell it as twice the price? They won't just simply stop scalping

 

[Dak0ta]

Kazunori really likes Spain.

theres a street named after him

 

[odeepaanh]

These scalpers are getting out of hand smh now we have to buy a whole car

 

[Nowax]

theres a street named after him

Yup, I actually went to there!

It was a trip over europe with all my family back in 2018, we went to there without me even noticing that it was the place where the street was named after him, so my surprise was very huge
All I remember about that day, is that it was cloudy and the wind WAS VERY STRONG!!

 

[syntex123]

No, it doesn't. That's a GR Yaris, not a Yaris.

Still a Yaris, no matter the trim level. Besides this one is a GR Yaris too, at least in name and badging. I’m fully aware it isn’t a true a GR Yaris but you see what I mean.

its an entirely different car, its not just a trim level

 

[syntex123]

Potato potato. In my opinion, it’s like saying "Gran Turismo 7 won’t feature the tenth generation Civic". This is wrong, since it features the fifth generation Type R, based off of the tenth generation Civic.

Shoot me if you must

 

[Famine]

Not even close.

The GR Yaris is a fundamentally entirely different vehicle, with a completely different body and chassis (and bespoke engine and drivetrain), not a trim level of Yaris.

Besides this one is a GR Yaris too, at least in name and badging.

No, it's not. It's a Toyota Yaris. "GR Sport" is a trim level.

In my opinion, it’s like saying "Gran Turismo 7 won’t feature the tenth generation Civic". This is wrong, since it features the fifth generation Type R, based off of the tenth generation Civic.

Also entirely false equivalence. What does your "opinion" have to do with the fundamental fact that the GR Yaris is a completely different vehicle from, and not a trim level of, the Toyota Yaris?

 

[syntex123]

You don’t have to go deeper, both cars are Yarises. Like I just explained above. They still look the "same", share the basic name, and so on. Going deeper it is different, I’m well aware. Shall I continue my post above? A Skyline GTR and a GTS, a Nismo 400R, a Tommy Kaira M25 and a GTS-T and whatever other Skyline is still a Skyline

Agree to disagree, I won’t take this further.

[syntex123]

Not really. Calling every Skyline a GTR, now that’s wrong. But ok, let’s move on. I’m not here to put sticks in your bike wheels. Just stating my opinion.

No, you literally don't comprehend that they're completely different vehicles, but you're insisting that they are because they have similar names by drawing false equivalence between other cars which have performance oriented variants based on the exact same platform.

The Civic Type R shares a body and chassis, and a production line, with a Honda Civic, and it's still called a Honda Civic, just with an extra bit at the end.

The Skyline GT-R shared a body and chassis and a production line, with a Skyline GTS, and it's still called a Nissan Skyline, just with a different bit at the end.

The GR Yaris does not share a body or a chassis, or a production line, with a Toyota Yaris, and it's not even called a Toyota Yaris any more.

It's a completely different vehicle, made of different bits by different people, with a different name. There's even a linked article within this one that explains just how completely unrelated it is, which you could easily use to educate yourself.

Not understanding this initially is... at least understandable. Continuing to insist it's the same car in the face of this knowledge - because "Yaris" is somewhere in the name - is lunacy.
