Toyota has just found the perfect way to revive its Yaris sales, offering a PS5 for a special model.
Having a PS5 is a highly sought-after Holy Grail in the gaming community. While the console was released more than two years ago, the latter is still very difficult to find, in particular because of an unprecedented shortage of semiconductors and other computer parts essential to the manufacture of the console. Game.
So, for two years the solutions to get a console have become more and more exotic. If the resale market, especially with eBay, is one of the best ways to get your hands on a console quickly, Toyota has just put its grain of sand in this environment, which is not at all its own.
For a Toyota Yaris purchased, a PS5 offered
The Japanese car giant, which is very well known in Europe for its “Yaris” model, has just offered a very special version of this car to its customers. With the new Yaris Sports GT7, the automobile firm promises, in addition to the purchase of the vehicle, the delivery of a PS5 game console as well as a copy of the game Gran Turismo 7 (hence the GT7 in the name of the car).
With this unprecedented partnership between the automotive world and the world of video games, Toyota hopes to succeed in boosting its sales while the automotive world is also in the grip of great difficulties, always because of this same shortage of materials. raw materials which shut down many factories all over the world.
As for the car, this new Yaris hybrid offers a 1.5L cylinder petrol engine as well as electric assistance. This car comes with a new suspension system and bodywork reworked by Toyota teams to improve aerodynamics.
Only 100 cars available
But the big downside of this Toyota announcement is that the car will only be produced in 100 small copies. Add to this that the model is designed only for the Spanish market, so you will have to go through the perennials to hope to have one and recover the game console that goes with it.
In addition to the PS5 and the physical copy of the latest Gran Turismo, Toyota announces that the package also offers a second Dualsense controller as well as a three-month subscription to PlayStation Plus to enjoy the online modes of Gran Turismo 7.
For the moment Toyota has not announced the official prices of the car, which should be released at the same time as the video game on March 4, but according to many experts in the automotive world, the latter should be sold around 23 000 € excluding options.
