Evolved GR Yaris
As a symbol of TGR car-making, the GR Yaris was born through making ever-better motorsports-bred cars. TGR has continued to compete in various motorsports*2 using the GR Yaris since the model's launch in
Also, based on Morizo's desire to provide the fun of driving to as many people as possible and to expand the base of motorsports, TGR has developed the 8-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission to enable the utmost enjoyment of a 1.6-liter inline 3-cylinder turbo engine mated to a 4WD drivetrain, which forms the essence of the GR Yaris. The result is a car that is designed so that a wide range of drivers can enjoy sporty driving and motorsports to the fullest.
TGR's journey of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars is without end. TGR intends to continue competing in races using the GR Yaris and evolving it with input from various drivers.

LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT
The LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT is based on the new Lexus LBX, a segment-defying compact vehicle that redefined the conventional notion of luxury cars when it went on sale in
Its turbocharged engine and full-time AWD deliver heart-thumping torque-filled power that can be fully brought to the fore thanks to wide-ranging exclusive developments that covered the vehicle's packaging, body, suspension, tires, AWD control, and Direct Shift 8AT automatic transmission. Also, using technology cultivated through air racing, the bumpers were shaped to achieve a high level of aerodynamic performance and styling that evokes the essence of pure driving performance.
In keeping with the theme of the TGR and Lexus exhibit, the LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT underwent customization unique to Morizo's beloved car by way of applying Morizo's signature color of yellow to the plated molding of the front 'Unified Spindle', brake calipers, and seatbelts, resulting in a car that embodies casual luxury and that Morizo himself could enjoy on weekends as a trusted partner, like his favorite pair of comfortable, well-worn sneakers.
