Toyota Yaris Club Concept by Five Axis

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Toyota Yaris Club Concept by Five AxisAfter the Lexus GS460 and the Toyota Venza AS V, Five Axis brought another vehicle at the SEMA Show: the Toyota Yaris Club Concept, a tribute to the Toyota 7 that challenged the Group 7 category of Can-Am racing back in 1960s.

As you can see the car has been seriously customized as it follows: the roof was totally removed and the windshield lowered, the interior was removed too as well as the passenger seat, a tonneau (a bed cover for a pickup truck) was added as well as a driver headrest. Also a new body kit was installed consisting in a front and rear Toyota JDM Vitz RS bumpers, a rear taillight and fog light as well as a Toyota Vitz front bumper cover. Under the hood the vehicle received a TRD/TTE Supercharger with cold air intake boosting the engine from 106 hp to 166 hp, a DC Sports tuner header and a TRD radiator and oil cap. For a better sound of the engine a new Greedy TIC exhaust was added. More details and photos after the jump!
