丰田计划推出高性能版雅力士。丰田表示，计划于2017年携雅力士重返世界拉力锦标赛。这款道路版高性能版本将基于下一代车型。从合成图看，新车配备的信息娱乐系统取自丰田车系。该车将搭载一台取自雷克萨斯NX200t的2.0升四缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，功率175千瓦/235马力，扭矩349牛米，搭配前驱和六速手动变速器。新车无疑将成为一台高性能小钢炮。下一代雅力士将于明年发布，因此这款顶级款最快也要等到2017年才会发布。
Toyota reportedly planning hot Yaris with 235 bhp
New reports from Japan and Australia are indicating Toyota is plotting a hot version of the Yaris.
Toyota has announced a WRC return in 2017 with the Yaris and apparently it will spawn a road-legal hot version based on the next generation of the model. The attached render belongs to Japanese magazine Best Car and was created based on information gained from sources close to Toyota.
Motoring is reporting the higher specification Yaris will be powered by a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine sourced from the Lexus NX 200t where it produces 235 bhp (175 kW) and 349 Nm (258 lb-ft). All that power will be channeled to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox which should turn the potent Yaris into an absolute pocket rocket.
The next generation Toyota Yaris will be launched sometime next year which means the range-topping variant won't be out sooner than 2017.
