This Has to be the Most Purposefully Modified Toyota GR Yaris on the Planet - gallery

The Toyota GR Yaris is a rally-bred hot hatch and an impressive platform

At the hands of legendary DIYers, the homologation-special Yaris reveals its full potential

Keeping a turbocharged car cool is important

Heat-soaking is best tackled with a bigger intercooler. Brake cooling ducts also make sure the GR Yaris has consistent stopping power

The obvious benefits are a lower center of gravity and better weight transfer, crucial during track sessions

More ducts are also good

The new undercover features ducts for cooling the transfer case, engine, and transmission, during harsh driving

Improved stopping power

If it goes fast it needs to stop just as fast. The GR Yaris gets high-performance brake pads and titanium backing plates
