The TGR Italy is a special GR Yaris that pays tribute to the first WRC-winning Toyota

Toyota Italy has come up with a new special edition GR Yaris that’ll be limited to just 51 units. Inventively titled the ‘GR Yaris TGR Italy Limited Edition’, it pays tribute to the first ever Toyota to win a race in the World Rally Championship.

Looks absolutely brilliant too, doesn’t it? The livery harks back to the Corolla 1600 Coupé piloted by Walter Boyce and co-driver Doug Woods in the Press-on-Regardless (POR) Rally in Michigan in 1973.

Just 51 examples of the TGR Italy will be produced, and all will get those excellent racing stripes, gold forged wheels and special limited edition badging inside. Unfortunately though, they will also all get automatic gearboxes. D’oh!

Anyway, we’re told that each car will cost €67,500 and they’ll be sold through the Toyota Italy website later this month. Each buyer will also get a passenger ride in the race spec GR Yaris Rally2, plus they’ll get two VIP passes for the entire 2025 TGR Italy season.
