The head of the marketing department of the Australian representative office of the brand Sean Hanley told reporters that the GR division was seeking to preserve internal combustion engines and manual gearboxes. “Even when moving to electrification, there is an opportunity to satisfy ardent lovers of powerful cars, because these enthusiasts do not die out,” Toyota top manager emphasized.
“We are focused on the electrification of the rest of the lineup, but we plan that the Toyota GR unit will tell about the sounds, smells and sensations from the internal combustion engine – those clicks, cod and rock that we all love so much. The passion of the motorist brings up the tactile connection between the driver and the machine, and we do not intend to abandon it in the foreseeable future, ”said the representative of Toyota.

“The internal combustion engines and mechanical gearboxes will exist for a very long time,” Sean Hanley said unequivocally. However, it is not at all a fact that future models with ICE will work on gasoline. Toyota has achievements in the field of hydrogen and synthetic fuel. However, in the future, the Japanese brand will continue to produce sports-oriented cars.
It is curious that Sean Hanley himself remembered the average GR Yaris Medient Car Concept Car. The specialist suggested thinking about what the Toyota prototype means. In fact, the representative of the brand hinted at the revival of the Toyota MR2: inexpensive medium -proper sports car. Probably, the novelty will have a 2.0-liter “turbocharger” of the next generation.
