About the real-life vehicle the Mini 4WD car is based on
Unveiled as a prototype in Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival on December 15, 2019, and as production model in Tokyo Auto Salon on January 10, 2020. The GR Yaris is the performance-orientated variant of the XP210 Yaris. It is the second Toyota car to bear the GR badge after the Toyota GR Supra, and is heavily inspired by its rally-legal counterpart.
Unlike the regular Yaris, the GR Yaris is only available in the bespoke 3-door hatchback option. it utilizes a combination of the two different variants of Toyota New Global Architecture platform, with the GA-B variant being used for the front (as with the regular Yaris) and GA-C variant being used for the rear. Supporting the platform are the four-wheel independent suspension setup, with the MacPherson struts on the front and the double-wishbone on the rear.
The GR Yaris was available in multiple trim level: The top-tier RZ, the base RS and the bare-bone RC trim. Powering both RZ and RC trims is a 1.6 liter G16E-GTS turbocharged straight-3 petrol engine (capable of producing 257 to 268 hp of power and 360–370 N⋅m of torque), mated to a 6-speed V16 series intelligent manual gearbox and a GR-Four all-wheel-drive drive-train. The base RS trim, on the other hand, was powered by a 1.5 liter M15A-FKS straight-3 petrol engine (capable of producing 118 hp of power and 145 N⋅m of torque), mated a CVT gearbox and a front-wheel-drive drive-train. Only the RZ and RC trims were made available outside of Japan.
