Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) will later this month begin taking online-only orders for the latest GRMN (GAZOO Racing tuned by MN1) vehicle, the “Vitz GRMN Turbo” sports conversion2 model.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail PriceSales will be limited to a total of 200 units and will be carried out exclusively through online applications processed by Area 863 shops in Netz dealerships throughout Japan. Applications for the vehicle, priced at 2,700,000 yen4, will start August 25 on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Vitz GRMN Turbo was developed as a sports hatchback that exemplifies the pure and grounded handling expected from a compact sports car. Available in two colors, Super White II and Black Mica, it features a three-door body and unique exterior styling, such as LED headlights, a large-diameter tail pipe, rear spoiler, exclusive front bumper, large rocker panel moldings and a contoured GRMN logo on the side of the body.
With the turbocharger providing enhanced engine performance—up 32 kW (43 PS) compared to the base Vitz engine—the Vitz GRMN Turbo also features a reinforced powertrain, strengthened opposing 4-pot caliper brakes, a high-rigidity body and an exclusively tuned suspension—all combining to provide greatly improved ride, turning and braking. The Vitz GRMN Turbo conveys the joy of driving, from normal roads to circuits.
Interior features include exclusive sports seats, instrument gauges and a three-spoke leather steering wheel with red stitching.
