Toyota GR Yaris revealed and first glimpse of the Aston Martin V12 Speedster ...
At the Tokyo Auto Salon, this morning, Toyota Gazoo Racing revealed this high performance GR Yaris. It is built to homologate the World Rally Championship winning Yaris WRC. It features a wildly flared bodykit and underneath the skin sits a hugely powerful three cylinder engine. Displacing just over 1.6 litres, the direct injected and turbocharged unit produces a staggering 268 bhp. Like the rally car it serves to homologate, the GR Yaris features an all-wheel drive system.
Aston Martin have released the first glimpse of the new V12 Speedster due in 2021. This minimalistic machine is strictly limited to 88 examples. The speedster body with a cut-down windshield is the tribute to the Le Mans winning DBR1 of the 1950s and the more recent CC100 Speedster show car. Like the name suggests, the upcoming V12 Speedster is powered by the twin-turbo V12 engine, which produces around 690 bhp in this application.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
