"『 GR Yaris RZ High Performance 2020" was produced as a 1/18 scale handmade model car of 』 IDEA (IDEA).
It is a model that faithfully reproduces "TOYOTA GR YARIS RZ High Performance 2020" which was made as a 100% genuine Toyota sports car in 2020.
[Vehicle description]
The GR Yaris was created based on the idea of "I want to get back the Toyota sports car", a project inspired by President Akio Toyoda.
It is not the 86, which was created in collaboration with Subaru, or the Supra, which was created in collaboration with BMW. It is said that the idea of making it 100% Toyota is contained in it.
In the development, it is based on the assumption of acquiring the homologation of the WRC. It is not remodeled into a commercial model like the conventional WRC competition cars. In the extreme, the commercial model can be said to be a detuned version of the WRC competition cars. Even though it calls itself Yaris, it is equipped with a platform and exclusive engine different from the standard model.
The commercial model is equipped with a special forged aluminum wheel made by Torsen LSD and BBS with 1.6 liter 3-cylinder turbo and 4 wd mechanism, and the competition model RC, and in addition to 1.5 liter 3-In the end, it is necessary to optimize the press line and surface expression of the body according to the scale.
For example, the shape of the reflecting plate of the lighting and the texture expression of each part are closely observed in the actual car, and it is necessary to make efforts to reproduce the shape and texture.
In addition to the reproduction of the interior and exterior, this 1/18 Yaris also pursues the appearance of the lower control arm of the suspension when you look at the model with your eyes slightly downward. It uses the part composition that the lower control arm extends to the in-wheel side and seems to support the wheel.
Many of our models are composed of metal parts such as resin body and parts, aluminum ground and white metal, stainless steel etched parts, etc. However, regarding 1/18 GR Yaris, metal molded parts are used for transparent parts such as window and outer cover of the lighting and wheel with the aim of reproducing the shape faithful to the actual car and sharp mold.
The glamorous rear fender and "wet" smooth coating that brings out the attractiveness of GR Yaris is also an important point to pay attention to.
