Toyota GR Yaris by Todd Lewis

Todd Lewis, leader of Motor Car Collective, is the proud owner of a unique GR Yaris, the only one known to reside in the United States. Originally restricted from US shores, this WRC-inspired hot hatch found its way to Lewis through a determined effort that involved navigating the complexities of international car buying. Once obtained, Lewis partnered with veteran Toyota builder Gordon Ting, along with Evasive Motorsports, to transform the GR Yaris into a track-ready marvel set to make its mark at SEMA. The build features a dazzling livery designed by Jon Sibal, reflecting Gazoo Racing’s geometric logo, and includes contributions from aftermarket giants like Turn 14 Distribution, Titan 7, Michelin, Tein, Motul, and Pagid. A special highlight of the car is the engine cover, personally signed by Akio Toyoda, Toyota's president, further cementing its heritage. This GR Yaris has not only graced significant automotive events but continues to inspire enthusiasts at Turn 14 Distribution’s lobby.
