The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid model captures the engineering spirit of the real car and is presented here as the Tamiya 58716 kit for the TT-02 platform. Inspired by Toyota's Rally1 running in 2022, the full-size GR Yaris couples a hybrid system with a turbocharged engine, quoted at over 500PS and 500Nm of torque, and this RC version mirrors that high-performance persona while offering a satisfying build and lively on-track behaviour.
The TT-02 chassis is widely respected for its adaptability and straightforward layout. Its shaft-driven 4WD keeps power balanced, while motor and battery placement help maintain predictable handling. Identical suspension arms and accessible gearboxes make assembly and routine maintenance simple, and adjustable wheelbase, ride height and gearing let you tune the setup for different surfaces.
The GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid kit blends form and function with a lightweight polycarbonate shell shaped for rally aero, plus separate front light cases for a realistic appearance. The front lights are non-functional but the model includes detailed molded parts such as side mirrors, a two-piece rear wing and side ducts. The dark gunmetal multi-spoke wheels fitted with racing radial tyres complete the race-ready look.
This Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid on the TT-02 chassis balances scale looks with tunable performance, making it a solid pick for experienced RC tuners and newcomers wanting a realistic rally platform.
