It is still a Yaris the same way a GTI is still a Golf.

Is a Twin with widebody kit, SC, super-duper suspension, brakes and other goodies still a Twin?

Unique chassis, unique engine and different body panels. Built by Master Technicians in the GR Factory.

It’s basically a new sports car with a Yaris looking body on it and has little in common with the regular Yaris. It does not share a single panel with the regular five-door and it has a sleeker and wider body.

No it is not a twin anymore. However, the difference is that you are starting from a higher level. Not from the very basic level. If someone cannot understand this, then he is on its own.

Roofline quite a bit lower too, which is good, because the regular 5 door Yaris looks like a giant pimple. Far too tall, narrow and bulbous. I like the 3 door GR Yaris body, the world needs more 3 door sporty hatchbacks. Sportier than a 5 door shopping cart, but still more practical than a coupe with a tiny boot opening. Sadly, 3 door hatches have all but disappeared as makers rationalise their production lines on the higher selling 5 doors.

I Japan they release a cheaper FWD version of the new GR 3 door with a regular Yaris engine and a CVT. Shame they don’t export that one, would make a nice, cheaper alternative to the regular 5 door Yaris for those not needing the hipo AWD rally version.

I cried when a 5 door Golf GTI was announced... That was the start of the fall for the 3 door hot hatch. Apparently no one wants to buy 3 door cars..

An interesting video about a bit of off-road fun. The curious thing is that the car is clearly not stock since it has a working anti-lag system and judging from the standing start it could even have a sequential gearbox. It sounds pretty good in general and that turbo flutter at 1:46

Probably a decent example of what could be if laws are not a concern.
