In the basic concept of the new GR Yaris, Toyota's designers and the specialists from Tommi Mäkinen Racing, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's partner in the World Rally Championship, followed a clear task: to redefine the limits of the production car's performance. At first glance, the most striking difference between the two model variants is the change from a five-door to a three-door body, which gives it a unique selling point in the current product range. Although the GR Yaris is basically based on the current hatchback model, it shares little more with the five-door model than the headlights, taillights, exterior mirrors and shark fin antenna on the roof. All other components of the outer skin have been redesigned in order to achieve the ambitious goals in terms of downforce, aerodynamic efficiency and stability - a logical step against the background of the technical World Rally Championship regulations, as the regulations do not allow any modifications to the underlying bodywork.

GTS stands for Gran Turismo Sport. Ever since the creation of the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS in 1963, these three letters have held special significance for Porsche fans. Now, there is a derivative with this legendary letter combination in every Porsche model series. At the LA Auto Show (19 – 28 November 2021), the sports car manufacturer will present a new version of its electric sports car under the acronym GTS. With a range of up to 504 km (based on WLTP figures), the new sports model is the first Taycan to break the 500 km mark. The Taycan GTS is the dynamic all-rounder of the model range. With up to 440 kW (598 PS) of overboost when using Launch Control, its power is impressive. The chassis and optional rear-axle steering have also been specifically adapted to the GTS, while the exterior and interior have a distinctive look. The third body style of the first all-electric Porsche model series will also make its debut at the LA Auto Show: the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. The newcomer shares its sporty silhouette and rearward-sloping roof line with the Taycan Cross Turismo. Another feature they have in common is the functional design of the luggage compartment, which offers more than 1,200 litres of load capacity under the tailgate. The Taycan GTS and Taycan GTS Sport Turismo start from 131,834 and 132,786 euros (prices for Germany, including 19 per cent VAT and country-specific equipment). Both model variants will roll out to dealers in the spring of 2022. Further engine options for the Sport Turismo will follow.
For father and son Edward and Jonathan Buhler, their Z story began with a 1973 Datsun 240Z. This is a car that is woven through their family's history, first purchased by Edward in 1978. As time passed and the 240Z odometer ticked away, memories were made including be driven to daycare, learning to change the oil in the driveway as a kid and, of course, the day that Jonathan turned 15.
