Toyota Cruelly Teases 268-HP Toyota GR Yaris Rally Hatch for US Market www.thedrive.com

Last month, Toyota debuted the company’s GR Yaris, a hot hatch reminiscent of the Group B rally homologation specials manufacturers were ordered to build to compete.
Retweeting a story by our friends over at Jalopnik, Toyota’s U.S. PR tweeted, “Does the North American market need another hot hatch?
The base structure of the GR Yaris is still the feisty and pint-sized Yaris commuter, but underneath the enlarged and aggressive exterior beats the heart of a rally champion.
Powering all four wheels, the GR Yaris makes use of a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine that puts down a whopping 268 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.
Controlling the power is a 6-speed manual transmission and means the GR Yaris can sprint to 62 mph in just 5.2 seconds.
