The reigning world rally champions have opted for a bold new matte black livery, which replaces its traditional red, white and black colours that have been a mainstay since Toyota returned to the WRC in 2017.
A similar colour scheme featuring Toyota’s GR branding will adorn the Japanese brand’s GR010 Hypercar entries in the 2024 World Endurance Championship.
"Until now it was red and white because it represented Japan, but there are many cars with similar colours, so we asked for a change," said Toyota president Akio Toyoda.
Last month Toyota announced an unchanged WRC driver line-up to pilot the GR Yaris next season. However, newly crowned two-time world rally champion Kalle Rovanpera will join Sebastien Ogier in competing in only a partial campaign.
This year’s title runner-up Elfyn Evans is set to lead the team’s charge alongside Takamoto Katsuta.
