Rally1 cars feature several significant changes compared to their predecessors, headlined by the arrival of hybrid technology to the highest level of rallying for the first time. Each car’s hybrid unit comprises a 3.9kWh battery and a motor-generator unit (MGU), delivering an additional 100 kW (134 PS) under acceleration.
The GR YARIS Rally1 combines with the proven 1.6-litre turbocharged engine from the Yaris WRC to provide the drivers with over 500 PS (490bhp). The engine will run on a 100 per cent sustainable fuel: The first of its kind to be used in an FIA world championship.
