Compared with millions of pure sports cars, the price of "steel cannon" is very approachable. More than 200 thousand people can buy a new car, and the most expensive one is only 500 thousand. If you don't dislike it, hundreds of thousands of people can find a used car in good condition, and the money saved can be modified and you can enjoy exciting driving pleasure.
Looking at the current "steel cannon" world, I believe that anyone who loves a car can casually name a few, such as Civic. Type-R, megana R.S, golf GTI/R and so on. In recent years, thanks to the large-scale application of turbocharged engines, the power of "steel guns" has gradually deviated from the chart. And the "steel gun" I am going to talk about next should push the "power arms race" of steel guns to another climax.
Toyota yaris? Greece
Last year, Toyota released a new generation of yaris. Yaris, as the representative of Toyota's compact car, has been deeply loved by consumers. At the same time, Toyota, as the manufacturer's team of WRC, was also awarded by Yaris (YARIS? GR) upgraded the prototype model. After the release of a new generation of yaris, a new generation of yaris? The launch of GR has also been put on the agenda.
At this year's Tokyo refit auto show, Toyota released a new generation of yaris? GR, because just to meet the requirements of WRC mass production rules, a new generation of yaris? At present, GR has a limited production of 25,000 units (another way of saying it is 25,000 units per year), but at present it only accepts domestic orders. ...
I'll get to the point this time. Performance and handling, a new generation of yaris? GR is based on lightweight, the doors and trunk doors are made of lighter aluminum alloy, and the roof is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, which has made a new generation of yaris? The curb weight of GR is only 1.280kg. When it comes to this kind of car, the owners will remove the seats, linings and other parts, which may not be controlled within 1000kg.
A new generation of yaris based on GA-B platform of Toyota TNGA architecture? GR has also made some upgrades in the chassis, from hollow to solid anti-roll bar, to further strengthen the new generation of yaris? GR's car body is relatively rigid, and its minimum ground clearance is reduced by 9mm compared with ordinary models. In the meantime, in order to make yaris? GR has better handling, and Toyota has also replaced it with a double wishbone rear suspension. Its inherent structural advantages will bring it more sensitive suspension response and better grip.
As a performance-oriented car, Toyota can do whatever it takes, except yaris? In addition to providing 4-piston calipers and scratched brake discs, GR also adopted Michelin's top performance street tire PS4S as yaris? GR adaptive tire, you should know that this tire conforms to Deng Lupu P? ZERO and Pirelli SP? In the comparison of RT, it is almost a total victory. Visible yaris of Toyota this time? How hard it is for gr.
Ok, this is the most important thing. Toyota gave a new generation of yaris? GR A super performance 1.6T three-cylinder turbocharged engine-g16e-GTS. This engine is equipped with D-4ST dual injection technology. With the support of a single vortex turbocharger, it can produce a maximum horsepower of 272Ps and a maximum torque of 370Nm, making it the strongest three-cylinder engine at present! With a 6-speed manual transmission, a new generation of yaris? GR can accelerate 0- 100kph in 5.5s.
Oh, by the way, as a production version of WRC, there is absolutely no shortage of four-wheel drive system, yaris? GR is equipped with GR-4 sport four-wheel drive system, and the tolson LSD of the front and rear axles and the electric control multi-disc clutch difference should be really fragrant, but it's a pity that most domestic consumers can only watch their mouths.
Finally, a new generation of yaris? GR design, a new generation of yaris? GR basically retains the design of ordinary cars, but in the offensive appearance, the huge middle net, the design of air knives on both sides, the combination of double exhaust at the rear, black wheels and red calipers, is it still necessary to be a new generation of yaris? GR is better.
Interior, a new generation of yaris? GR also basically follows the ordinary version of the interior layout, but since it is a "steel gun", it will naturally have its own unique identity symbol. For example, an integrated sports seat similar to GR logo leather splicing Alcantara fabric (there seems to be room for 4-point seat belts), metal pedals, short-stroke manual gears, etc. Are they all a new generation of yaris? Identity embodiment in GR interior decoration.
Of course, Toyota will not forget to provide car owners with comfortable configuration, large central control screen, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, front seat heating, Toyota TSS Zhixing safety system, JBL audio and other configurations, a new generation of yaris? GR is also equipped. But in my opinion, people who can buy, or can buy, should not care about these comfortable configurations. After all, the 270-horsepower A0 class car was not bought to enjoy its comfort, was it?
