The Toyota Etios Racing cars are prepared by TRD (Toyota Racing Development) and feature upgraded brakes, 17-ich wheels, strengthened chassis, roll cage, slick tyres and re-tweaked motor with more power and revv-limit removed. Powered by the petrol engines, the cars are expected to reach 100 kmph in less than 10 seconds, thanks to the higher power and lower weight.
