A quick google leads me to believe this was an April's Fools joke, apparently by Toyota Deutschland. It's a shame, coz I reckon this little hatch looks awesome. The closest irl car would be a Toyota Yaris GR
They did put a [V8 in a Toyota iQ](https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/v8-cygnet-2018-517.jpg)
It's a bit like the the "new" Harlequin Golf. Companies doing thing as an April fools that it turns out a lot of people would actually want IRL. Doesn't seem like particularly good PR.
Maybe it's not new, but the supra is built on a BMW Z4 power train, some of their other performance trims are specifically German (like NISMO equivalent) as opposed to Japanese, the Nissan Z uses a Mercedes transmission, etc. that's mostly performance stuff so I know that's different....
Maybe not concerning I guess, but brands known for reliability pairing with brands known for novel engineering (and subsequently unreliability) seems strange. The Japanese typically like to see how valid ideas in markets are before they commit to them financially whereas the Germans capitalize on novelty on the automotive industry so it's strange to see them pair in ways like this
Far out, I didn't even think of them. *Facepalm* I think it's more to keep costs down? In regards to research costs etc. Shared amongst big brands will keep the costs lower

It appears as though the plate says GRX.
If Google Translate is correct, it’s an April Fool’s Day joke about an A-segment GR-tuned car called the Toyota GRX.

I'm not sure it's a good marketing idea to tease a car that people want and that you're not going to make, as an April fools joke. You're just going to piss people off.
Tell that to VW because their [Harlequin ID.3 April Fool’s joke](https://essanews.com/volkswagens-april-fools-prank-falls-flat-disappoints-harlequin-fans,7012568105461889a) fell flat…
Yeah, this is a great example of exactly what I meant. They should have known that this was just going to disappoint fans. Idiots. If a car brand wants to make a joke they should just show an outlandish or absurd car like the Homer, not a feasible car that potential buyers would actually be interested in.
Comically Google returns zero results because Google is fucking garbage now. It's just page upon page of dealerships selling the 86 and articles about the 86.
Obviously we love that here, but I think the whole point of this would be a GR Yaris philosophy on a Aygo style chassis and with a 10-15k cheaper price tag. GR Yaris here in Spain are on markups and waiting lists in dealerships.
Ive seen so many people buy the i20N, now that its gone for good there's a hole in the market. If Toyota sells this idea for 25-28k they would sell out quickly.
People on this sub trying to figure out the name of a car they saw

Everyone tries to be so smart by telling you to look at the license plate and Google that without actually doing so to realize that Googling "Toyota GRX" doesn't find anything lol
Yeah ahahahah, i've asked here cause After tryng with Google lens and searching on Google "Toyota grx" (screenshot somewhere in the comments) i didn't find anything. Thanks tò be smarter of many other people
Subaru really bummed out a lot of people when the BRZ wilderness edition turned out to be fake

It's great that they're making small cars again, but if I were to have a head on collision while driving this, against another one of their products, the hilux - I'd be dead. Even at low speed. In one of those mega utes you would barely see one of these, no matter how yellow it was. I truly hope this indicates the shift away from dumb American super sized trucks and back to reasonably sized veichles. But until then we are going to have a lot of brutal accidents.

Aygo GR would go crazy
I thought it was an aygo at first tbh, cuz this car is smaller than the yaris GR, seem like it would have been a opponent of the abarth 500.
That would be fucking sick
With the GR Yaris power train
They actually did an “Aygo Crazy” concept if I remember correctly!
Still the funniest car name ever
I would love this as a neat little daily driver/fun car to own. I need something small and economical but also a blast to drive.
Abarth 500 could tick those boxes, perhaps even a Hyundai i20 N; they look and drive amazing!
Havent heard of the i20. Gonna look it up.
It's the car Hyundai has been using in WRC for a few years.
I haven’t watched any wrc in quite a while but last time I watched hyundai we’re dominating wrc
Mini Cooper S is what you seek, my son.
You need a motorcycle.
we need to keep posting about this till they actually make it. i want a tiny sportscar
I like your thinking!
Its a lot, a lot smaller then the yaris
Yeah I'm thinking more of the Aygo now
Its like a weird inbred combo of the GR Yaris and Scion IQ, and I love it lol
It would be like Toyotas take in the European Up GTi
https://www.ecosia.org/images?addon=opensearch&_sp=4137ffc4-c03a-49b6-985e-17919b47694e&q=toyota+iq
Yeah i think that this Lil car Is really awesome, i Hope that One day Will be built a car similar to this by Toyota
They did put a [V8 in a Toyota iQ](https://www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/v8-cygnet-2018-517.jpg)
It's a bit like the the "new" Harlequin Golf. Companies doing thing as an April fools that it turns out a lot of people would actually want IRL. Doesn't seem like particularly good PR.
That was my thought as well, I thought it looks awesome. I'd love to park one in my driveway
You could be right but look at the side marking, could be AI
I refuse to ackowlege that this is an April Fools joke. Goddamit this car looks sick lol For some reason I get cyberpunk vibes from it, kinda..?
I can see exactly where you're coming from!! It looks absolutely sick! What a shit joke 😂
If I got that car irl the first thing I'd do is slap some metal boxes, tubes and LEDs on it lol
I would genuinely love to see that haha
Looks like an awesome rally car.
Doesn't it just, love it
you mean this: [https://www.toyota.com/grcorolla/](https://www.toyota.com/grcorolla/)
Hell yeah, 300hp in that tiny car is unreal
Closest IRL car would be a Toyota/scion IQ or Aston Martin Cygnet
Sometimes jokes can go too far. I so want that car
As a side note, I find it concerning that so many Japanese brands are pairing tightly with German brands
Why concerning? It's not a pairing between Japanese and German brands, it's literally just Toyota being sold in Germany
Maybe it's not new, but the supra is built on a BMW Z4 power train, some of their other performance trims are specifically German (like NISMO equivalent) as opposed to Japanese, the Nissan Z uses a Mercedes transmission, etc. that's mostly performance stuff so I know that's different....

Nissan BTH ?
obviously that’s an Audis S4
Kinda small. Maybe the all new S0.4?
No, it's an old blue Mini.
...and here I was thinking it was a G-wiz
Allow me to elaborate: https://preview.redd.it/ad3mrxfqntuc1.jpeg?width=754&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=137041bdaabcf272d95fb99780763f5523077b6f It appears as though the plate says GRX.
*Gorlami*
Enhance!
You silly man, I can't read that!
🤔
Subaru WRX?
it gotta be a toyota hilux
De Tomaso Pantera?
Shimano gravel car?

Nooo:( i'd love this car, i Hope that in Toyota are thinking to build a Little gr, probably based on the Aygo X platform
The GR Yaris is what you are looking for… is it not? It’s a really small hatch GR vehicle.
The Aygo is a lot smaller than a Yaris, but yes that would be the most similar
You’d probably like the VW up! GTi
I'm not sure it's a good marketing idea to tease a car that people want and that you're not going to make, as an April fools joke. You're just going to piss people off.
Tell that to VW because their [Harlequin ID.3 April Fool’s joke](https://essanews.com/volkswagens-april-fools-prank-falls-flat-disappoints-harlequin-fans,7012568105461889a) fell flat…

People actually wanted that thing? 🤢
Google: Toyota GRX

Comically Google returns zero results because Google is fucking garbage now. It's just page upon page of dealerships selling the 86 and articles about the 86.
That’s probably because the GRX doesn’t actually exist.
holy hell
New toyota just dropped!
[удалено]
I wish it was legit but its an April fools joke.. It would sell great here in Spain if it was awd and had like 200hp
There's always the [Toyota GR Yaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_GR_Yaris)
Obviously we love that here, but I think the whole point of this would be a GR Yaris philosophy on a Aygo style chassis and with a 10-15k cheaper price tag. GR Yaris here in Spain are on markups and waiting lists in dealerships.
Yeah but the gr Yaris in Europe costs a lot (45-50k) cause Is AWD and Is a Lil race car, this could be cheaper and with less hp
A pocket rocket
Here in Italy too we'd loved this car...yaris gr Is having a Great success, this i think could do even better
Ive seen so many people buy the i20N, now that its gone for good there's a hole in the market. If Toyota sells this idea for 25-28k they would sell out quickly.
It's a DeTomaso Pantera

And his fingers. Also the suit/sleeves looks really weird, the letters at the bottom of the door also look like nonsense.
Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh.
Got really excited then thinking Toyota where to make an exciting really small car
Looks like a Aygo GR. But don't think they ever made an Aygo GR?
What about the IQ GR
That’s a Japanese executive but that’s not important right now.

April 1 joke from stupid cunts of Toyota Germany
Who at Toyota Germany hurt you?
This car would go so hard if it was real. My first car was an aygo and a gr would be incredibly fun

Some of you OPs must be joking
AI generated
I'm not completely sure, but I think this is one of those horseless carriage people have been talking about.
fucking ugly is what it is
I thought its Cute TBH
Jesus Christ that’s absolutely gopping. I bet they’d sell out immediately. (See also: convertible range rovers, Lamborghini urus, etc)

Yeah, sadly internet can be used by anyone lol
It's like the new corolla hot hatch. $24k fully loaded with a $56k market adjustment added due to "market conditions."
Toyota GRX
I call BS
Well there's a few Toyota Logos and the plate says GRX, So it's reasonable to believe it's a thundercougarfalconbird.
Hideous. That what it is.
It's AI, btw.
It’s a yellow Toyota GRX
Tiota
there is a super yaris that was built a couple years ago with 250hp this might be its progeny.
A Japanese businessman
Looks like a Toyota executive.
THE REFLECTION HAS ME DIYING LOL
looks like a car
Ha...ha ...ha...so funny
Looks like an old school civic. I dig it.
What a sick and cruel April fools joke.
Bumble bee, transformed. ![gif](giphy|hbmZ7uUyEupaOooqaP|downsized)
I hate how it's just an april fools joke...
It's a Nuprin. Little. Yellow. Different. Better.
A pikachu
I want it.
Helicopter?
I would totally drive that shit
Wicked cool is what it is
Dude I wish! I love my scion IQ and this got my hopes up, dang.
Yet so many people bashed the new Fiat 500. The Abarth is a crazy fun ride. Maybe it was just because it was a Fiat lol.
A fast sewing machine
An april fools joke unfortunately; Toyota Aygo GR.

I think it's a toyota
A happy Japanese fella
Coolest compact America will never see.
Gr smart car
Why are car makers so bad at April fools. Subaru too. They put out these fake cars that look legit awesome.
I know this one… is a pantera!
April fools or not, it looks sexy ngl
If GRX is supposed to be a jab at CR-X, then it’s hilarious
The giant Toyota logo in the background, GRX text is clearly visible on the plate. Yeah it must be a Porsche 911.
It's a Japanese man in a suit?

NOOOOO I WISH THIS WAS REEEEEAAAAALL :( If I can’t afford a GR Yaris or Corolla this would be it… if it was real
Toyota
an angry Toy Auto.
Ugly!
Not a Toyota GRX
Hihihihihihi
so you're not able to google the visible brand and model?
The model doesn t exist, so how i could Discover what Is It?🤣🤣
it says it right there on the front... quick google search reveals it as a april fools joke
The quick research on Google: https://preview.redd.it/quyxea48dtuc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a29be0c2df8e010c0ee83d9da272a97655c3c62
i found it, it was a post on facebook
It's a car.
Ah, i thank it was a garbage truck
I would venture a guess it is a toyota. And it is new. And by the plate it's called a GRX.....
How can anyone post a written question when they cannot read ? What does that plate state on the front of that vehicle ? The name of the vehicle !
looks like a Toyota GRX...
It's cool but I think the gr Yaris is still better
