Scaled GR Yaris with authentic lines and nimble manners

Released in 2020, the Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris replicates the spirit of Toyota's compact performance car in 1/10 form. The model highlights the three-door hatch profile and GR-FOUR inspired 4WD detailing, making it a notable build for scale-focused hobbyists and active drivers alike.

Bodywork that mirrors the road car

The polycarbonate body reproduces the GR Yaris front grille, pronounced rear fenders and roof spoiler with clear lines. Mounted on the M-05 chassis, the model benefits from a low centre of gravity and stable behaviour. Complemented by black 11-spoke wheels and realistic treaded tyres, the kit looks ready for both display and spirited running.

M-05 chassis engineering and dynamics

The M-05 chassis balances mass distribution and keeps the profile low. Its front-wheel drive influenced layout uses a semi-monocoque resin frame for durability and easy build steps. The 239mm L wheelbase aids straightline stability, while the double wishbone suspension and three-piece steering linkage give predictable cornering performance.

Tamiya 58684 GR Yaris offers a satisfying build and reliable chassis behaviour, ideal for hobbyists who want crisp scale looks and enjoyable driving dynamics.

An experienced builder can typically assemble the kit in a few evenings, depending on paint and finishing choices. Detailing and drying times will extend the overall project time.
The body represents GR-FOUR styling, but the M-05 platform is configured with a front-drive oriented layout in kit form. Significant drivetrain changes would require major modification and parts planning.
Use polycarbonate-specific spray paints applied in light, even coats. Masking and multiple thin layers give the best finish while preserving detail lines and vents.
There are aftermarket options for dampers, linkages and lightweight parts compatible with the M-05 platform. Check part fitment before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
