This kind of leader in performance translates directly into a more pleasant driving experience. The Toyota Yaris T Sport is faster than 100 km / h from 1.6 liters to many hot hatches and excels in the mid-range acceleration - fast 60 to 100km / h in fourth motion (8.4 seconds) than any another car.

Toyota Yaris T Sport has a top speed of 190 km / h and accelerate to 100 km / h in 9.0 seconds remaining.

However, with Toyota's advanced VVT-i technology, the Yaris is still easy to drive and extremely economical. The T Sport (3 door) is 6.9 litres/100km in the EU combined cycle - the best in its class - and has similarly low emissions (160 g / km CO2). The new engine meets the emissions legislation Step 3.

Lightweight engine design

The Toyota Yaris T Sport Engine, designated 1NZ-FE, is a light, unit block of aluminum alloy that has been designed for maximum efficiency.

The use of aluminum cylinder block and crankcase pan, plastic in the intake manifold and water inlet and a general reduction in the total number of components, the weight has been kept to a minimum. In addition, methods of assembly and placement of auxiliary devices have been reviewed to reduce the height and width of the engine compact.

The 1497cc engine is a 16-valve, dual camshaft engine with a general high-efficiency compression 10.5:1. Toyota direct ignition system, consisting of four ignition coils operating directly on each spark plug, by burning fuel more efficient, less emissions and less maintenance - no ignition timing to be adjusted and not for distribution services .

Low friction has been achieved through the design of parts, including the displacement of the crankshaft, to reduce the losses of the mechanical engine by 25 percent. This, in turn, contributes to a reduction in fuel consumption.

The role of VVT-i

Toyota's intelligent variable valve timing (VVT-i) technology will play a key role in the development of T Sport. It will allow Toyota to use more powerful, but lighter engines across the range T Sport to offer more performance and agile handling sports.

Varying the overlap time between the closing of the exhaust valve and intake valve opening, the engine features VVT-i can be changed to create optimal recording - resulting in more efficient use of fuel, exhaust emissions over Clean and increased torque output, especially at low and medium engine speeds.

The Toyota system has the advantage of continuously variable (not enhanced) and valve timing allows the engine management computer to specify the optimal timing for the full range of driving conditions. This means that the valve overlap time no longer has to be set in advance to adapt to a predetermined driving.

More complete combustion, the higher combustion temperature means less nitrogen oxide emissions. An increase in valve overlap in some of the results of recycling without burning fuel, reducing unburned hydrocarbons, and also on the results of internal recirculation of exhaust gas, further reducing nitrogen oxides.

Sports Exhaust

The Toyota Yaris T Sport is fitted with a specially designed exhaust pipe and silencer which maintains low emissions and high fuel efficiency, but adds to the sportiness of the car.

The large diameter tail pipe is by design of the rear view ad muffler system has been adjusted to produce a deeper, more sporting engine note is a low engine speed while reducing the flow noise at high speeds .

Close manual gearbox

The Toyota Yaris T Sport is equipped with a close relationship, five-speed manual transmission to deliver optimal athletic performance and make the best use of 1.5 liters VVT-i engine.
