TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Announces GR Yaris MORIZO RR

A Special-edition Model Created With Master Driver Morizo

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) today announced the creation of the MORIZO RR special edition of the GR Yaris and unveiled the model's under-development prototype at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026.

• A special-edition vehicle created with Morizo at the Nürburgring, equipped with the GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission and to be limited to 100 units in Japan

• Application of lessons learned from competing in the 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race, resulting in an exclusive suspension setup and an exclusive 4WD control mode

• Equipped with a carbon-fiber rear wing developed through competing in the Nürburgring 24 Hours

• Features exclusive Morizo-favored "Gravel Khaki" exterior color, as well as brake calipers and interior accents in Morizo's signature "Yellow" preferred

The GR Yaris MORIZO RR is a special-edition model created with Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman and Master Driver Akio Toyoda, aka Morizo, by applying insights gained through the challenge of competing as TOYOTA GAZOO ROOKIE Racing (TGRR) in the 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race.

TGR, with its core mission of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars, and ROOKIE Racing, which hones GR vehicles, transcended organizational boundaries and came together based on roles rather than titles under Morizo's leadership to form TGRR, aiming to further accelerate the making of ever-better cars.

In the Nürburgring 24 Hours, Morizo, as a team driver, took the wheel of the GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission-equipped No. 109 GR Yaris fielded by TGRR, logging more laps than scheduled despite the course's grueling conditions. Upon the team's successful completion of the race, Morizo was quick to convey how good he found the GR Yaris to be, and he credited its 8-speed automatic transmission with enabling him to conquer 15 laps.

The GR Yaris MORIZO RR is exceptional for its Nürburgring-cultivated delivery of car-driver unity for a high level of driver-vehicle interaction, its reliability and security, and its ability to make car-lovers smile and want to keep on driving it.

The GR Yaris MORIZO RR for the Japanese market is to be available in a total of 100 units from spring 2026, with purchasing lottery applications now being accepted via the TGR official smartphone application "GR app". The model is also to be released in certain European markets in a limited run of 100 units.

Main features

Nürburgring-honed suspension

Benefitting from the powerful downforce generated by an exclusive rear wing, the suspension setup has been optimized to achieve damping forces that allow the tires to firmly follow even highly uneven road surfaces, like those at the Nürburgring. The result is performance that allows for stress-free everyday driving while maintaining sporty driving performance, with control of the electric power steering (EPS) system also having been modified accordingly. The vehicle was developed as a high-performance model that allows enjoying driver-vehicle interaction that is unique to MORIZO RR models, generates an overflow of spontaneous smiles, and enables experiencing an extraordinary sense of exhilaration.

Exclusive 4WD control mode developed with Morizo

An exclusive 4WD control mode was developed together with Morizo, in which a "MORIZO" mode replaces the "GRAVEL" mode of the base vehicle. The "MORIZO" mode sets front/rear initial torque and driving force distribution at 50:50.

Interior and exterior designed with the master driver and professional drivers

As an exclusive GR Yaris MORIZO RR performance aerodynamic part, the model features a carbon-fiber rear wing developed through competing in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Other exterior enhancements are found in the form of a front spoiler, side skirts, and a carbon-fiber hood.

The exterior color is a GR Yaris MORIZO RR-exclusive and Morizo-favored "Gravel Khaki", which, despite its distinctiveness, blends seamlessly into everyday settings. A "Piano Black" finish makes the radiator grille look sleek, sharp, and closer to the ground, while the wheels are done in "Matte Bronze".

The brake calipers and interior stitching sport Morizo's signature "Yellow".

Another exclusive feature is the suede-surfaced steering wheel, which has been given a slightly smaller-than-normal outer diameter and modified paddle shifters and steering-wheel-mounted switches for improved operability in motorsports. The switches, in particular, are laid out independently, based on lessons learned through the use of similar switches in the GR Yaris Rally2 rally car.

The interior displays an exclusive serial-number plate with a "MORIZO RR" logo.

GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition

Comunicato stampa

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Announces GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition

Special-edition Model Commemorates Driver's 9th WRC Title

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) today announced the creation of the Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition special edition of the GR Yaris and unveiled the model's currently under-development prototype at the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Round 1: Rallye Monte-Carlo.

• A special-edition vehicle that commemorates driver Ogier's ninth WRC title and tying of the all-time WRC record

• Based on the GR Yaris' "Aero performance package" and featuring exclusive equipment that includes the 4WD control "SEB." mode, which was developed with Ogier, and the exterior color "Black Gravite^*1", which symbolizes TGR's motorsports activities

• Purchasing lottery application acceptance from spring 2026

The GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition is a special-edition model that commemorates TOYOTA GAZOO Racing World Rally Team (TGR-WRT) driver Sébastien Ogier's 2025 WRC title. The battle for the 2025 WRC title went down to the wire, with the drivers' championship hanging in the balance until the conclusion of Rally Saudi Arabia, which was the season's final round. The win earned Ogier, who competed last year in 11 races and secured 10 podium finishes, including six victories, his ninth overall title, tying the all-time WRC record. Throughout the season, Ogier demonstrated the very qualities for which TGR strives: a stance for persistently taking on challenges to secure victory, a spirit for never giving up no matter what the situation, and the resolve to push beyond the limits. The special-edition model was developed to celebrate Ogier's victory and a remarkable milestone etched into rally history, as well as to express gratitude to all the fans who support and cheer on TGR-WRT.

The GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition for the Japanese market is to be available in a total of 100 units through a purchasing lottery, with applications accepted from spring 2026 via the TGR official smartphone application "GR app". The model is also to be released in certain European markets in a limited run of 100 units.

Main features

The GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition features exclusive equipment that incorporates Ogier's preferences and individuality, based on the GR Yaris "Aero performance package" launched in 2025.

Exclusive 4WD control mode developed with Ogier

An exclusive 4WD control mode was developed together with Ogier, in which a "SEB." mode replaces the "TRACK" mode of the base vehicle. The "SEB." mode is a 4WD control mode with 40:60 front/rear torque distribution designed to enable vehicle control through rear-wheel driving force while maintaining front-wheel steering responsiveness. It aims to contribute to shorter times in competitive driving by increasing car-driver unity and improving vehicle control at high speeds.

It also features a "MORIZO" mode, which replaces the "GRAVEL" mode of the base vehicle. The "MORIZO" mode is a 4WD control mode that maximizes the binding force (direct connection) between the front and rear wheels during acceleration and eases it only as needed during braking to achieve a high level of both traction and cornering performance. Ogier particularly favored―and chose to adopt―the arrangement of driving force distribution that Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda, aka Morizo, developed through racing in rallies.

An interior and exterior packed with Ogier's preferences

The interior and exterior were crafted to achieve both the high quality and refinement sought by Ogier and the functionality required in rallies.

The exterior color is the new "Black Gravite", which was exclusively developed for the GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition and is a color that symbolizes TGR's motorsports activities in 2025. It is complemented by wheels in matte black. The brake calipers are in Ogier's signature blue, while the radiator grille incorporates a tricolor decoration inspired by the flag of Ogier's home country of France.

The steering wheel―developed for improved motorsports operability―features an outer diameter that is slightly smaller than that in the case of the base model and modified steering-wheel-mounted switches laid out independently, drawing on lessons learned from the GR Yaris Rally2 rally car. The stitching is in blue, gray, and red (for a tricolor accent).

The vertical parking brake features a newly developed leather-wrapped grip with exclusive gray stitching, and the interior also features a special serial-number plate commemorating Ogier's 2025 WRC title.

	GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition Special Equipment*2
Performance	4WD mode select exclusive control added ("SEB." mode / "MORIZO" mode)
Exterior	Exclusive body color (Black Gravite) Exclusive wheel color (Matte Black) Exclusive colored brake calipers (Blue) Tricolor-decorated radiator grille Morizo-autographed front windshield Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition exclusive emblem (on the back door) Exclusive vinyl (used in the lower section of the doors and rear fenders)
Interior	Leather-wrapped vertical parking brake lever & cover with gray stitching Tricolor stitching (on GR-exclusive steering wheel) Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition-exclusive serial-number plate Exclusive GR Full TFT gauge display (for displaying "SEB." mode / "MORIZO" mode)

*1 "Gravite", which is pronounced as rhyming with "graphite", is from the French word for "gravity".

*2 As the GR Yaris Sébastien Ogier 9x World Champion Edition is currently under development, the equipment described is subject to change without notice.

Via Toyota.
