We currently don’t have much info on the GRC outside of speculation and the teasers given through Toyota. But if the GRC is made in Motomachi alongside it’s rally bred brother I wanted to at least drop a video of the process. Enjoy.

I watched this lastnight... A good documentary on Takumi is on YouTube mostly in Japanese with sub titles

The part of Motomachi that’s building the Yaris is suppose to bring a GR exclusive part. So it’ll be amazing if we get a hand assembled car like a GTR or Ferrari at a fraction of the price.

ya for sure 50k roughly Canadian for a hand built car. Like the LFA I bet they are losing money on each car.

Maybe by them using the powertrain in another car they save some money.

There were talks of a CHR as well a bit back

It’s possible, I think even moving forward the GRC and Yaris will be the halo product moving forward. Similar to Honda using the Civic as their golden egg

It'd be sick if the G16 got plaques of which Takumi built it like the GT-R

I don’t think they do but they have little videos showing clips of the Takumi building the engine before the car is lowered onto it.

Came across this on ebay

Always interesting to see how a car gets put together, enjoy!

Very glad we'll be getting the Takumi plaques on the G16

Yup. First thing I’ll look at when I pop the hood is that plaque and the “G16e” on the side

 

[Wynorrific]

As will I. Correct me if I'm wrong, but will this be the cheapest car with an engine plaque? We all know the R35 has it as well as some AMG's and such but they're all 6 figure cars

Yep essentially. I was telling people this 2 years ago, this is the closest we get to a R35 experience as far as specialness.

One of the biggest reasons I've been looking forward to this car. No cars are made with hands this way at this price point

Yeah not going to lie, it's a big reason swaying me over going with the '23 Type R. And I like that it's made in Japan still.

Type R will be assembled similar to this but yeah over here.
