With a lap time of 8.15,53 minutes on the 20.8-kilometer Nordschleife variant used in the Supertest since the September 2026 issue of sport auto, the GR Yaris Aero Performance may at first glance appear slower than its predecessors, but those models were tested on the shorter 20.6-kilometer course. The GR Yaris Aero Performance takes exactly 5.57 seconds to cover the additional 200 meters on the T13 straight—just as a point of reference for anyone who wants to recalculate the old 20.6-km times for comparison. This makes it clear that, on a track-adjusted distance of between 20.6 and 20.8 kilometers, the GR Yaris Aero Performance is five seconds faster than the Gen 1 manual and 4.4 seconds faster than the Gen 2 automatic on the Nordschleife.
