The Manchester United centre back’s £170,000 Porsche Cayenne GTS was caught on camera last August.
Court papers reveal the 20-year-old was in a 30mph speed limit area in the Manchester suburb of Withington.
Lawyers for the French defender issued an apology on his behalf at Crewe magistrates’ court.
They said the footballer had been “rushing to take a friend to the railway station” and that the road was clear of traffic at the time.
Yoro, who had pleaded guilty to speeding and was not summoned to appear in court, was banned from driving for six months
He was ordered to pay a £666 fine, £120 in costs and a £266 victim surcharge.
Lisa Nevitt, Yoro’s lawyer from the firm Burton Copeland, wrote to the court highlighting the footballer’s “prompt guilty plea” and setting out that he “would not seek to argue that he should not be disqualified”.
She added: “He is not liable to a totting up disqualification but understands because of the speed involved that it is highly likely the court will impose a disqualification rather than penalty points.
“Our client would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the incident which came about as he was rushing to take a friend to the railway station.
“Our client further states that he believes where the speeding took place was at a point where the road was broad and there was little prospect of being any contact with any vulnerable road users such as pedestrians.”
Court records show Yoro was among more than 7,000 people across England and Wales to be prosecuted for speeding last week, with magistrates imposing fines totalling more than £20,000 and banning 115 drivers.
