HKS has released an aerodynamic kit for the Toyota GR Yaris with the intention to improve aesthetics and performance. The Type-S Gen2 kit features components that increase downforce and stability, especially crucial for those wanting to hit the track. The kit features a front splitter, side skirts, and rear spoiler with a added adjustable rear wing. All components are manufactured using glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber to ensure durability and performance. These performance parts improve the GR Yaris's handling at high speed while improving its aggressive look.

Tested and Proven Components

The components of the Type-S Gen2 kit have been tested in real-life racing scenarios to ensure an added benefit for performance. The front splitter is made from GFRP with carbon fiber end plates which ramp up downforce over the front axle improving grip and stability. Side skirts and rear spoilers help to create a more seamless aerodynamic profile for a more even handling vehicle, and are designed to direct airflow and limit drag with the sole purpose of providing maximum control at high speeds.

Form and Function

While HKS is all about performance, they also wanted to make sure the Type-S Gen2 kit looked great. The components are designed to give the GR Yaris an aggressive and sporty style to match its performance abilities. Using carbon fiber helps to also reduce weight, but adds an element of motorsport attractiveness. HKS put a lot of effort into the designs to ensure they highlight and sculpt the existing lines and styling cues of the GR Yaris.

Availability and Compatibility

The HKS Type-S Gen2 aerodynamic kit is available for the 2024 and later Toyota GR Yaris. This aerodynamic kit is compatible with the RZ grade, and fits all the features of the Yaris. Starting to modify their GR Yaris is easy, just order through one of HKS' authorized dealers and distributors. Recommendations to visit specialist’s or garage shops to install are recommended to ensure the safety and performance of their new body components.
