G16E-GTS
The G16E-GTS is a turbocharged engine model with 10.5:1 compression ratio and D-4ST direct/port injection system with multi-oil jet piston cooling, large-diameter exhaust valves and a part-machined intake port. The turbo boost is set between 1.4 and 1.81 bar (20.3 and 26.3 psi). With the engine producing up to 200 kW (268 hp; 272 PS) (which comes out to 123.6 kW, 166 hp, 168 PS per litre) in the GR Yaris and 224 kW (300 hp; 305 PS) (138.4 kW, 186 hp, 188 PS per litre) in the GR Corolla, it makes the engine as one of the most powerful three-cylinder automobile engines ever produced.[2] The engine also has the highest specific output of any Toyota road car engine, exceeding the 95.6 kW (128 hp; 130 PS) per litre specific output from the 191 kW (256 hp; 260 PS) 2.0-litre 3S-GTE engine used in the ST246 Caldina GT-Four.[2]
Applications:
- 2020–present GR Yaris (GXPA16)

Hydrogen version
In 2021 Toyota announced that a team of engineers had modified the 1.6L GR Yaris engine to run exclusively on hydrogen fuel. The modified engine ran in the "Super Taikyu Series" in 2021 and 2022.[3] Toyota has tried to establish hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel alternative to gasoline in motorsport and for daily use. In 2023 Toyota showcased its Toyota Cross H2 concept vehicle.[4]
Others
A de-stroked variation of the G16E-GTS engine with a displacement of 1.4 L (85.4 cu in), which is compatible with synthetic fuel, is used by the GR86 for the 2022 Super Taikyu series. The stroke was reduced from 89.7 mm (3.531 in) to 77 mm (3.031 in).[5]
