Toyota has revaled the new flagship Toyota Yaris model called the Toyota Yaris TS at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. The new Toyota Yaris TS is powered by Toyota’s new flagship Dual VVT-i 1.8 liter engine which makes 130bhp at 6,000rpm and max torque of 173Nm at 4,400rpm, compared to the Yaris 1.5 liter’s 109hp at 6,000rpm and 142Nm of torque at 4,200rpm. With the new Dual VVT-i engine, Toyota Yaris Valve timing is adjusted on both Toyota Yaris intake and exhaust valves. This Toyota Yaris engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The Toyota Yaris little hatch goes from 0-100km/h in 9.3 seconds.
Other enhancements to the Toyota Yaris TS over the base model include Toyota Yaris suspension improvements - the front suspension Toyota Yaris has been reinforced, gains a Toyota Yaris thicker anti-roll bar and a Toyota Yaris linking rod has been introduced between the rear suspension Toyota Yaris members. The Toyota Yaris ride is also lowered by 8mm.
Other than Toyota Yaris ride height, further Toyota Yaris external differences include a new black mesh grille with a TS badge, darkened headlamps, a deeper bumper with integrated foglights, a new rear bumper with Toyota Yaris integrated exhaust tailpipes and fog lights, as well as new LED rear lamp Toyota Yaris clusters. Look from the side and you will see nice 17 inch Toyota Yaris alloy wheels that fill up the wheel arches as well as deep side Toyota Yaris skirts. There is also a Toyota Yaris roof spoiler for the rear Toyota Yaris .
Both three-door and five-door versions of the Toyota Yaris TS will be on sale from February 2007. More photos Toyota Yaris .
