Expanding His Collection: Esteban Ocon Acquires the Rare Toyota GR Yaris Gen 2

Formula 1 driver Esteban Ocon has added a unique gem to his impressive car collection – the limited-edition Toyota GR Yaris ‘Seb Ogier’ Edition. With only 200 units worldwide, this exclusive vehicle is now proudly part of Ocon’s garage.

A Rally-Inspired Masterpiece

The Toyota GR Yaris ‘Seb Ogier’ Edition boasts numerous rally-inspired elements that make it a standout on the road. Powered by a 3-cylinder 1.6L turbocharged engine delivering approximately 280 horsepower, this vehicle is a testament to racing passion and performance.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Ocon expressed his excitement about the car, stating, “It’s a very special car – only 200 units – and it’s a car I wanted for a very long time.” He further elaborated on its unique features, such as the intercooler spray system, which helps maintain power even on warm days.

The Ogier Connection

The connection to eight-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Ogier was a significant draw for Ocon. “Seb is a legend,” he said. “It’s very special to have one of the cars that he developed.” The special edition comes with unique extras, including signed gloves from Ogier and a part from an actual Yaris rally car.

A Diverse Car Collection

The Toyota GR Yaris joins a diverse collection of vehicles owned by the 28-year-old F1 driver. Other cars in his garage include his 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix-winning Alpine A521, a Ferrari 296 GTB, and a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR.

In addition, Ocon and his father imported a 1998 BMW Z3M from Japan to restore together, adding a personal touch to his collection.
