That’s a sweet-looking bodykit right there

Toyota has just recently launched the new Harrier in Japan, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't jealous. The Harrier is sleek, stylish, and offers a much more premium package than its stablemates do. But having said that,

The event will be open to the public, says Toyota Motor Philippines

The pandemic has put a stop to major racing events the world over, and the local racing scene is no exception. If not for this COVID-19 crisis, we would have been getting our dose of waku-doki action courtesy of the

Body from a road-going rally car. Engine from...your grandma’s Yaris. Wait, what?

Well, you didn't expect Toyota and Gazoo Racing to go to the big trouble and huge expensive of engineering a brand-new, three-door, wideboi body shell for the GR Yaris, and then only use it for one model, did you?

Owners, rejoice!

One of the biggest issues with owning a retro ride is parts. Depending on how old and what model you have in your garage, it might be stuck there because a) you can't find the one part you need to get

The car is about 90% finished at this point

Yep, a Yaris. Not so much the last car to drive before you die as the last car you'll drive, before you die. But, this is a Yaris by Gazoo Racing, the motorsport skunkworks embedded in the Toyota mothership. In recent

We're starting to like that camo design

Toyota has some hot-hatch momentum at last. We liked the Yaris GRMN, complete with manic little supercharged engine and dubious stickers, but this is a much more serious bit of kit. This is the Toyota GR Yaris. And yes, it's

“GT4 vehicles are sold to race participants and cannot be driven on public roads”

It’s the life’s work of chief engineer Tetsuya Tada

It's like being transported into Best Motoring's 'Hot Version' segment. This decades-old show is hosted by Manabu Orido, Nobuteru Taniguchi, and Keiichi Tsuchiya, and has a bit of a following worldwide. Thank you, YouTube, for the English captions. My

Want one? Start saving up for when it goes on sale in 2020

The Supra GT4 Concept of this year's Geneva International Motor Show is going to be a thing. Toyota has announced it will sell them to "private/customers teams" starting next year. It will be eligible for Europe's VLN Series, the

The haters can keep quiet now

Remember how excruciatingly slowly Toyota unveiled the new Supra? We definitely do. And it seems, so do the kids over at Toyota. The only difference is that they must have enjoyed every second, because it does appear that they're intent on

Care of Gazoo Racing

The Toyota Corolla is back, and with it, much promise of sharper dynamics than ever before. Thus far, we've been a bit unmoved by it, essentially because its enthusiasm-sapping hybrids remove any great desire you might have to discover the

Meet the Gazoo Racing Daihatsu Copen

It may not have escaped your attention that we're quite partial to Japan at Top Gear. It's a country of wild and wonderful car culture, one of the very best elements being the kei car.Deliberately tiny and deliberately slow,

Next month—which is also when the production-spec car will be unveiled

Toyota really knows how to tease. We're still yet to see the finished production-spec Supra, yet rather than give us even a slight glimpse at it, the carmaker is diverting our attention toward one of its race-car cousins.Well,

As tough as races come

You've seen the Toyota Hilux as a workhorse in construction sites and as a rugged off-roader in the depths of our muddy rainforests. Hell, you've seen this thing ferrying militias with a .50 cal mounted on its bed, so

Toyota’s performance brand now makes coupes, hot hatches, and, um, pickups

We like this company perk

Recent Manila visitor Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota Motor Corporation, is universally credited for reinvigorating the traditional Japanese carmaker, with exciting products like the Lexus F line and the Toyota 86. He's a real car guy, who likes to

It could weigh 100kg less

Exciting news. Gazoo Racing chief and father of the new 2019 Toyota Supra, Tetsuya Tada, has confirmed that a stripped-out, track-focused version is already part of his plan for the reborn sports car, co-developed with the new BMW Z4.

Make hybrids great again

Attention, motoring internet: A new niche has been created. Not another tiresome coupe-SUV monstrosity, either. Toyota's created something entirely new. It might be genius. It might make no sense. It's a hybrid supermini designed to handle-but not go-

Welcome back

So this is it--the all-new Toyota Supra, albeit in the guise of a Gazoo Racing Concept rather than a production model. The legendary Japanese sports car made its return at the ongoing Geneva International Motor Show, and there's a

The non-concept cars that still drew a crowd

We did a pretty extensive roundup of all of the concept cars unveiled by Toyota at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, but there were also a few standouts that drew a fair amount of attention. Here's a gallery of what got
