Since the WRC Yaris is a hybrid and rookie racing has the Hydrogen version, the GRC is set up to be around for awhile if they wanted it tooMaybe it will be a hybrid down the rd

We can talk about that in the WRC thread! I’m trying to help clean up the randomness in the forums.Ya thats what I was going after with the new hybrid rules in the WRC 520hp Corolla would be nuts. If anyone is wondering what we are talking about the new WRC rules allow up to 520hp with the hybrid system. And Jeonsa you were right in the city spots are full electric.
I believe if I remember correctly Toyota can't use the exact G16 in WRC but they were permitted to use it in WRC2 and 3It’s a different iteration they’re using in WRC due to the new rules. BUT if we get the GRMN engine, that looks more like a Nuremberg runner since it’s been in the GRMN Yaris mule running around. That engine might be just a regular G16 with added power or it could actually get some upgrades. Pure speculation.
I mean Yamaha is working on stuff with Toyota again… even working on a couple things for the hydrogen G16. Wishful thinking
I don't think it will be anything but the 1.6 I3 as it will be a drop in straight from the GR Yaris. Itnwill also keep cost and weight down.Reading all I can about this car, and some seem to think engine wise it might be fitted with the 2.4 turbo from Lexus. I know all the spoilers from Toyota are showing the 1.6 from the GRY (which makes way more sense), but I'm wondering if you all have come across info that states the 1.6 will be the only engine offered.
I'll be fine with the 1.6, but a 2nd option (and specially that 2.4 t) would be incredible. Similar to the Supra where they offer a base and a higher output ICE, it would also set up the GRC to compete with the GTI AND Golf R, as well as the Civic Si AND Type R. Wishful thinking, but wondering what you all have found out.
Works for me, watched Chris Harris in the Yaris on Top Gear last night. What a car and engine!I don't think it will be anything but the 1.6 I3 as it will be a drop in straight from the GR Yaris. Itnwill also keep cost and weight down.
Not what we’re saying. We’re saying Toyota is putting a lot of effort in that engine whether that be a hybrid setup, hydrogen, efuels/synthetic fuels etc. If the whole lineup turned EV, just hybrid, or had alternatives the GRC could be around for a bit if they wanted it to compared to the 86 or Supra off of observations with racing.There is absolutely, positively, without question, a 0% chance they would put in a hydrogen engine in this NA specific model.
They literally only sell the Mirai in California.
Yes, that is what you are saying. Why would the GRC be around with a hydogen setup when the market barely exists?Not what we’re saying.

Imagine telling someone what they’re saying after I just explained to you what I was saying.Yes, that is what you are saying. Why would the GRC be around with a hydogen setup when the market barely exists?
As of right now, yes there is no market for it at this moment and no one knows for sure the GRC would even stick around. It's just that Toyota is experimenting a lot with the G16 and hydrogen is one of those experiments. The GRC could stick around as a hydrogen model or a hybrid or it could not stick around. A lot of companies are experimenting with alternate fuel and other ways to make combustion and Toyota is choosing the G16 to be the test muleYes, that is what you are saying.

Woah, so aggressive, lol. I've been passively following this thread and I didn't get the impression you got at all. What I understood - and appreciated the news - is that Toyota is experimenting with a Hydrogen variant and it is possible we'll see that in the future.Yes, that is what you are saying.

Thers a few Mirai here in our state. The Hydrogen Corolla is nothing like the Mirai though. Its the Yaris engine converted to run on hydrogen, like how the convert other ICE engines to propane.There is absolutely, positively, without question, a 0% chance they would put in a hydrogen engine in this NA specific model.

It's basically the same engine but instead of using gasoline it uses hydrogen in the fuel tank in the same way engines use gasoline today. They are experimenting with different types of fuels, nothing more.There is absolutely, positively, without question, a 0% chance they would put in a hydrogen engine in this NA specific model.
