Yaris WRC - Finally

[aspro]

I've been following the rumours for some time and can pretty much confirm that Toyota is going to be returning to WRC and it is a Yaris. Now, this isn't the R1A rally car (really a pace car) that first came out in 2012/13. This is a 'from the ground up' totally new WRC build. I can't find any info on the motor or chasis all I can tell is it's turbo and not N/A like the R1A. Any one have any more info on this? It would be cool if the base of the motor is a 1.5 1nz. Here are some test videos that have been popping up on Youtube. The 2014/15 yaris owners must be happy to see their body style being utilized in WRC, I'm sure they will have a lot of success with this platform - Thank the heavens they didn't run their WRC campaign on the matrix or corolla platform. Hopefully this will help improve hurting Yaris sales.

apparently this won't be entered in WRC until 2017... Seems to me like they are ahead of schedule.
