Toyota will return to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) in 2017 with a car developed and built by the Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) technical centre in Cologne, Germany. The car features a 1.6-litre turbo-charged, direct-injection engine that produces over 300hp, while advanced simulation, testing and production techniques have shaped the Yaris chassis.

As with how it looks, it's fine, utilitarian and most likely easy for the team to work on if anything goes wrong.
Excited Toyota is making it's way back into WRC. It would be interesting to hear anti-lag out of a Yaris.
There was a yaris performing at the pacific forest rally last year. It was such a cute lil competitor. It was probably last on every stage but hell, it's such a dinky and weird car so it's not expected to win. It ended up breaking a front axel on a later stage.

They retired in 24th, not amazing but they're listed as novices.
