Small in size, but big in attitude – Toyota has unveiled a highly tuned racing version of its ground-breaking iQ city car.

The track-ready racing concept features extensive cosmetic and performance modifications to Toyota’s renowned urban compact model, which is sold only in Europe and Japan.

Its official name is the GRMN iQ Racing Concept, signifying the car was tweaked by Toyota’s motorsport competition partner Gazoo Racing in partnership with tuning specialists MN.

Stand-out features include a deep front air dam, huge lower air intake, racing wheels, massive spoiler, rear diffuser, and a dual exhaust system.

The pumped-up iQ also benefits from a supercharged engine, roll cage, sports seats, alloy pedals and racing instruments.

It is among 17 Toyota vehicles – including versions of the Prius, Vitz (aka Yaris), Corolla and FJ Cruiser – that were prepared for the Tokyo Auto Salon, the world’s largest customised car exhibition.
