Nürburgring-inspired development
The MORIZO RR was developed through a close partnership between Toyota Gazoo Racing and Rookie Racing, with Akio Toyoda personally competing in the No.109 GR Yaris during the 2025 Nürburgring 24 Hours. Racing under extreme conditions provided invaluable real-world feedback that directly influenced the final specification of the car. One of the most significant outcomes was the decision to equip the model with the Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission. Toyoda praised the eight-speed automatic gearbox for its performance and reliability after completing more laps than originally planned.
Performance and handling
Engineering changes focus on strengthening the connection between driver and car. The suspension has been tuned specifically for the Nürburgring and optimised to work with the high downforce generated by the exclusive carbon fibre rear wing. Tuned shock absorbers maintain consistent tyre contact even on uneven surfaces, while modifications to the electric power steering improve feedback, control and confidence. These changes ensure the car remains engaging on the road while retaining its motorsport-inspired character.
Exclusive Morizo four-wheel drive mode
A key technical highlight is the introduction of an exclusive Morizo four-wheel drive mode. Replacing the standard Gravel setting, this mode fixes torque distribution at a 50:50 split between the front and rear axles. Developed in collaboration with Morizo himself, it delivers predictable traction and balanced handling, particularly in demanding driving conditions
Exterior design
The GR Yaris MORIZO RR features a number of exclusive exterior elements that reflect its competition roots. A competition-developed carbon fibre rear wing is joined by a carbon fibre bonnet, front spoiler and side skirts, all contributing to improved aerodynamics and a more aggressive stance. The car is finished in an exclusive Gravel Khaki body colour favoured by Morizo, complemented by a Piano Black radiator grille, matt bronze alloy wheels and distinctive yellow brake callipers. MORIZO RR badging on the rear door and Morizo's autograph on the windscreen highlight its limited-edition status.
Interior and driver-focused details
Inside, the MORIZO RR continues its driver-first approach with a motorsport-inspired cabin. A suede-finished steering wheel with yellow stitching features a reduced outer diameter and modified paddle shifters, while the switch layout is inspired by the GR Yaris Rally2 to improve usability during high-performance driving. Suede trim and yellow stitching extend to the gear shift knob, gaiter and parking brake, while sports seats feature modified headrests, embroidery and coloured perforations. A GR full TFT digital instrument display includes the exclusive Morizo mode, and each vehicle is fitted with a unique serial number plate bearing the MORIZO RR logo.
