, the household Japanese B-segment sedan nameplate in its latest guise – codenamed NGC102 – has been unveiled in race car form for the Vios Challenge one-make racing series in the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival in Malaysia.
Like its track-going NCP150-generation predecessor, the latest version of the one-make racer is made at the UMW Toyota plant in Bukit Raja, Shah Alam, and continues to use the 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with Dual VVTi, producing 106 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.
That said, the nine units allocated for the celebrity racers taking part in the Promotional category in the upcoming seventh season of the Vios Challenge will use the continuously variable transmission as found on road-going versions , while racers in other categories will use the manual transmission.
Chassis upgrades received by the Vios in its racing guise include adjustable suspension, front strut tower bar and racing brake pads , and the Promotional category car here appears to be based on the Vios G variant judging by its rear disc brakes and electric parking brake setup.
