Revealed at Geneva Motor Show recently, the Toyota Yaris will be receiving a major upgrade with some serious pimping courtesy of Gazoo Racing.

The new Yaris hot hatch is powered by a 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder petrol, powered by a six-speed manual gearbox sending power to the front wheels. According to GRMN, a turbocharger wouldnโ€™t fit, which is why they opted for a supercharger. Makes sense right? Definitely not..

The Yaris GRMN will have more than 155kW, making it more powerful than the following rival hot hatches:
โ€“ Volkswagen Polo GTI: 141kW
โ€“ Ford Fiesta ST: 134kW (147kW for new generation)
โ€“ Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ: 147kW
โ€“ Holden Astra RS-V: 147kW

So far, there will only be 100 units per country, and confirmation on these countries is still uncertain.
