Overview of the Toyota GR Yaris GRMN Circuit Package
This is a 2024 Toyota GR Yaris GRMN Circuit Package, chassis code 4BA-GXPA16, finished in pearl white (colour code 089) and offered at USS Nagoya & Hokuriku as lot 50156. It carries a 1,600 cc turbocharged petrol engine, a six speed manual gearbox and four wheel drive, and the sheet records just 2,829 km, approximately 1,758 miles. It has auction grade 5 and interior grade A, which is as clean as the Japanese grading scale gets for a used car.
The sheet adds one owner, a car that has never been offered at auction before, a new car service book with warranty book, the owner's manual and two smart keys. A carbon bonnet, carbon adjustable rear wing, RECARO seats and Bilstein suspension are declared as points to note. For anyone looking for a Toyota GR Yaris GRMN with almost no use, this is an unusually fresh example.
The Drive Review: Toyota GR Yaris GRMN
The GR Yaris is a homologation special in spirit. Toyota Gazoo Racing built it on a short wheelbase three door body with a carbon roof, and fitted a 1.6 litre three cylinder turbocharged engine, the G16E-GTS, which is one of the most unusual road car engines of its era. It is small, boosted hard and eager to rev, with a rorty three cylinder note that sounds nothing like a typical hot hatch.
The GR-Four system sends drive to all four wheels and lets the driver change the front to rear split between modes, so the car can feel neutral and grippy in Normal, tail led in Sport and balanced in Track. Combined with the six speed manual, a short and precise shift, the result is a car that rewards commitment. Steering is quick and direct, the body is stiff, and the whole car feels compact and light on its feet compared with modern performance hatchbacks that have grown heavy with electronics.
The manual matters here. You work the clutch, you pick the gear, and you manage the turbo yourself. It is a more physical drive than most new cars offer, and it explains why enthusiasts around the world want one. This car's sheet lists Bilstein suspension, brake ducts and red GR calipers as declared items, which points to a car set up with circuit driving in mind.
Auction Details
The car runs at USS Nagoya & Hokuriku on 9 October 2026 (Japan date) as lot 50156, listed in the Prime Corner section. The auction start price is ¥5,580,000. The Autoselecta guide bidding range is £14,750 to £21,500. This is an estimated bidding range based on our market knowledge, not a guaranteed purchase price, and we cannot say the car will sell within it. For context, 12 similar cars sold at Japanese auctions between £20,559 and £21,989, typically about £21,131, though those results include other versions and conditions and are not Autoselecta sales.
The minimum bid and the landed cost to your country are calculated live and can change, so please use the price panel on this page for current figures. The sheet notes that the car was entered by a car buying dealer after being bought directly from its private owner. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.

The sheet also lists several items that appear to be aftermarket or dealer fitted: an aftermarket display audio unit, TZ front and rear dash cameras, a TZ safety radar, a rear camera and a built in ETC 2.0 toll unit. The photographs show a touchscreen, a second small screen on the right of the dashboard and a camera unit behind the mirror. Navigation is not separately confirmed on the sheet. The sheet does not state which items are factory fitted for the GRMN Circuit Package, so any specification question should be put to us before bidding.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The auction sheet was translated and checked by Autoselecta. The first registration is August 2024, the model is Toyota GR Yaris, the engine size is 1600 cc, the chassis code is 4BA-GXPA16, the body is three door and the grade is GRMN Circuit Package. Drive is 4WD, the auction grade is 5 and the interior grade is A. Shaken expires on 25 August 2027. The odometer reads 2,829 km, the shift is a six speed floor manual, and the air conditioning is automatic. The colour is pearl white, original colour with no repaint entered, code 089. A new car service book with warranty book is marked present. Fuel is petrol, the recycling deposit is ¥10,690 and the car seats two.
The sales points read: first time offered at auction, entered by a car buying dealer, one owner, bought directly from the private owner, twill weave carbon roof, genuine BBS 18 inch alloy wheels, aftermarket display audio, TZ front and rear dash cameras, TZ safety radar, rear camera and built in ETC 2.0.
The points to note read: carbon adjustable wing rear spoiler, carbon front bonnet with bulge, RECARO seats, brake ducts, Bilstein suspension, red brake calipers with GR logo, piano black front spoiler, and late registration, meaning the car was registered later than it was built. The owner's manual, warranty book and two smart keys are marked present.
The inspector's report says only: small scratches. The vehicle usage history box, the transfer document expiry and the imported car box are blank. The plate reads Nara 301 no 4246.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram shows two marks only. A1 at the front bumper means a small scratch. A on the right side, in the door and sill area between the wheels, means a scratch, but no size number is written, so we cannot say how large it is. Nothing is marked for dents, repairs, repainting, rust, corrosion or replaced panels.
The photographs agree with this. The white paint looks glossy and even in the auction hall, the carbon bonnet and roof look clean, and the bodywork appears straight. The front splitter is the likeliest place for stone chips or light contact, so it is worth asking us for a closer look. Overall this is collector grade condition for a car of its type, with only light cosmetic marks recorded.
Interior Condition
Interior grade A is the top mark, and the cabin in the photographs supports it. The suede wheel with its red top marker, the black seats with red stitching and the red edged floor mats all look fresh, and the gear lever and pedals show no obvious wear. The sheet lists RECARO seats, and a RECARO name is visible on the headrests in the exterior photographs.
The sheet records no smoke, odour, seat damage or dashboard damage. The instrument cluster in the photograph shows the GRMN tachometer and a 280 km/h speedometer, with ordinary ignition on warning lamps lit. We cannot read the mileage display from the photograph, so the 2,829 km figure comes from the sheet.
Japanese Auction Grades
Auction grade 5 is near new, with no notable faults. Interior grade A means the cabin is excellent. Grades run roughly from 6 and S at the top down through 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5 and lower, and a 5 on a car this young is about as strong as a standard used car is ever rated.
Model History of the Toyota GR Yaris GRMN
The GR Yaris arrived in 2020 as a road car born from Toyota's return to the World Rally Championship. Toyota Gazoo Racing developed the GR-Four four wheel drive layout and the compact turbo engine specifically for it, and it uses a body unlike the regular Yaris, with a shorter roof line and wider track. The GXPA16 chassis code covers the Japanese market car with the 1.6 litre engine.
GRMN stands for Gazoo Racing Meister of Nürburgring and is Toyota's badge for its most track focused cars, produced in small numbers. The sheet records this car as the GRMN Circuit Package grade and the badges are visible on the car, on the rear, the front and the instrument cluster. The sheet does not give details of which parts were fitted at the factory for the package.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The GR Yaris has moved from new performance car to collectible in a short time. It was built in modest numbers, many of the cars were sold only in Japan or in limited allocations, and the combination of a manual gearbox, turbo three cylinder, four wheel drive and rally derived engineering is unlikely to be repeated as emissions rules and electrification tighten. Demand has spread worldwide, and good low mileage cars are becoming harder to source.
This example adds one owner, 2,829 km, a full set of books and keys, and a carbon roof, bonnet and rear wing declared on the sheet. A car that has barely been driven and is still in near new order is the kind enthusiasts look for. We cannot promise any future value, and the car should be bought to be enjoyed, not as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the GR Yaris, the first question is how the car has been used. The engine is a small, highly boosted three cylinder, so a record of regular oil changes with the correct grade matters, and any signs of an aftermarket engine tune or remap should be asked about. The sheet does not mention one, but with the declared aero and suspension parts it is worth confirming before bidding.
On a manual, check clutch feel and bite point, the shift quality between gears and any noise from the transfer case or differentials under load. On four wheel drive cars, even tyre wear front and rear and a clean alignment are a good sign. Because the car has only 2,829 km, most of these should be excellent, but ask for photographs of the underbody and the splitter, where track days or kerbs leave marks.
For this car specifically, the sheet asks you to look at the right side scratch of unstated size, the small front bumper scratch, and the late registration note. The carbon bonnet, rear wing, RECARO seats and Bilstein suspension are declared, and we can ask for close photographs of how they are fitted. The aftermarket display audio, dash cameras and radar are noted too, so check which ones you want to keep, since some will need removing or adapting for your own country.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan produces some of the best kept performance cars in the world, with strict shaken inspections and an auction grading system that gives an independent view of condition. A one owner car, with books, keys and a grade 5, is the kind of car that rarely reaches overseas dealer stock at a sensible price.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but they are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. A performance car like this may need servicing or maintenance after purchase, particularly after shipping and a period of storage.
The important points to remember here are the small scratch on the front bumper, the scratch of unstated size on the right side, the late registration note, and the large number of declared and aftermarket items, including the carbon bonnet, rear wing, suspension and electronics. Steering side is not marked on the sheet, so please confirm anything that matters to you with us before you bid.
