MODE Design™ ‘Project GR Yaris’ | ONE of 1 Edition
MODE DESIGN™ presents a purpose-built, detail-driven hot hatch — the MODE Design™ ‘Project GR Yaris GR-FOUR’ | ONE of 1.
Developed as a singular showcase vehicle, this project reinterprets the rally-bred GR Yaris GR-FOUR platform through a cohesive integration of performance hardware, motorsport-inspired components, and signature MODE DESIGN™ styling.
A Focused Evolution of a Rally-Derived AWD Platform
The GR Yaris GR-FOUR stands as one of the most engaging modern homologation vehicles, defined by its lightweight construction, turbocharged three-cylinder engine, and advanced all-wheel-drive system.
Project GR Yaris GR-FOUR builds on this foundation with a carefully executed combination of airflow optimisation, chassis refinement, and driver-focused enhancements — all while preserving factory ECU calibration and mechanical integrity.
Commemorative Details: Engine Bay & Interior Plaques
What makes the MODE Design™ ‘Project GR Yaris GR-FOUR’ truly special are the bespoke commemorative elements that mark the vehicle as a ONE of 1 build.
Inside the engine bay, a custom engraved plaque denotes:
“MODE Design™ Project GR Yaris GR-FOUR | ONE of 1”
Within the interior, a matching plaque identifies the vehicle as:
“MODE Design™ Project GR Yaris GR-FOUR | ONE of 1”
Together, these elements distinguish the vehicle as a singular, collector-grade execution of the MODE DESIGN™ philosophy.
