Wasn't it a Japan only car?

Visca Catalunya!
I think they had it in Britain and I know we had it in Israel as well... other then that i'm not sure where else it was sold...

Specs?

It's basically a Yaris T-Sport (or Vitz RS in Japan) with a turbo. It had about 160bhp. Here are the specs for the N/A car.

It was also available in Switzerland. It ran with 150bhp and a kerb weight of 1015kg (3-door) or 1035kg (5-door). A bit worse than the figures of Ferrer.
Its a pity they will never be able to get away from the fact that its a Yaris.
first, GT1 has a Yaris, and second, I drive a red 1.0 Yaris once a month and it's funny, the gear level has very short movements and the engine is quite good for such a little displacement. but the best of it is that at 70 kmh it seems to fly so you lift your right foot and your license is safe

oh so he has a slightly biased point of view.
The guy i am sitting next to at work right now has one, hates it. One of my mates had one a red 1.0 one too. I drove it several times and can't honestly say its a enjoyable drive. You are probably right though when you said it was funny.
Its a car for taking a young lass to the shops thats about it. Nothing more nothing less.
well, yeah I am biased but I also have alot of insights to this car which I'm not sure you've noticed...
Mine is the 1.3 version that weighs 960kgs, and since I treat it only to premium parts and liquids (excpet fuel, I use regular unleaded) its in a superb condition. The engine is awesome for it's micro size, it delivers while consuming a tiny amount of fuel and boy does it deliver...
