Toyota used the Ypres Rally to demonstrate its GR Yaris H2 outside of Japan for the first time.
, it kicked off an extensive discussion in the forums about the pros and cons of hydrogen fuel in general. Whether you think it a pointless, inefficient sideshow or a nailed-on certainty when it comes to the future of internal combustion, Toyota is still quite keen on the idea and has underlined that fact by demonstrating the car on public roads outside Japan for the first time.
Moreover, it was driven by none other than Akio Toyoda in his ‘Morizo’ chief test driver guise. And Toyota's guv’nor can’t sit in a GR Yaris without driving it enthusiastically - especially when he’s got four-time WRC champion Juha Kankkunen doing the pace notes. In case you’d forgotten, the H2 is said to be more or less identical to the standard GR, with only a strengthened block and modified injection system distinguishing the three-cylinder motor from its petrol-chewing equivalent.
