A Toyota development mule resembling the Yaris has been spotted testing at the Nürburgring, sporting the bodywork from the current car and a camouflage livery.
The company has made no announcement regarding an u new hot hatch, but, sporting the same camouflage design as prototypes of the recently revealed Supra sports car, the car looks to be carrying out high-speed performance and handling tests.
The main clue as to the model’s sporting ambitions are found at the rear, where two wide-bore exhaust pipes can be seen exiting a diffuser-style bumper.
Elsewhere, wide alloy wheels wrapped in low-profile tyres round off a low, squat stance in the same vein as the range-topping GRMN variant of the current Yaris.
The new Yaris, due to be launched in late 2020, will move to Toyota’s latest TNGA vehicle architecture, as used by the new Corolla and Camry.
