Steroid boost for the Yaris
Staff Reporter

Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, the Yaris TS is not only the new flagship of the range, but also the sportiest Yaris yet.

Key to the car's character is an all-new 1.8-litre petrol engine with Dual VVT-i (dual variable valve timing), producing 97kW at 6000rpm and maximum torque of 173Nm at 4400rpm.

Working with a five-speed manual gearbox, it gives 0 to 100km/h acceleration in 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 194km/h.

The Dual VVT-i is an evolution of Toyota�s intelligent valve timing technology. By varying the timing on both the inlet and exhaust valves, it improves engine flexibility, power, torque and fuel efficiency: the TS has a combined cycle consumption figure of 37.7mpg and carbon dioxide emissions of 178g/km.

Structurally, the Yaris platform has been adapted to give the TS handling to match its improved power and performance with modifications to the suspension and steering.

To boost body and suspension rigidity, the front suspension members have been reinforced and a linking rod has been introduced between the rear members. Lowering the suspension by 8mm gives the TS a more sporting appearance and retuning the springs and shock absorbers increases stability at speed. Adjustments to the front springs and the use of a thicker anti-roll bar reduce body roll and improve high speed cornering performance.

The electric power steering has also been sharpened to a 13.2:1 ratio, giving lock-to-lock in 2.3 turns, compared with14.2:1 and 3.0 turns for the standard Yaris.

Furthermore, the TS gets several exclusive styling features. At the front it has a black mesh grille with a clear TS badge, darkened headlamp surrounds and a deeper bumper with integrated fog lights.

The rear bumper has also been redesigned, with an integrated chrome-finished sports exhaust tailpipe and fog lights. The rear lamp clusters adopt an LED-style design.

Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are fitted as standard and the body gains deep side skirts and a roof spoiler. The choice of paint finishes include a shade exclusive to the TS, Alsace Granite.

Inside, the car is fitted with sports seats, with alloy trim detailing, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and amber backlighting for the main controls.

I think TTTL will need to be convinced that a market exists here for vehicles such as these, esp. considering that their current lineup has an extensive backlog in terms of orders, they should put one of these ( and MY Compressor) in the showroom to guage the reaction

I doubt they will ever stock these though , and since its over 1.6 they may be really scarce to get roro due to the import duties

sweet ride though
