Toyota GR Yaris 0-100 km/h test (4.71 seconds)

#Toyota #gryaris #acceleration

At first I thought 3 000 r/min would be the better launch r/min but the system shut down completely. Decided to launch at peak power r/min and beat manufacturer claimed by just under a second.

Just as a side note, this is me flat/power shifting on a test unit provided to me by Toyota. I don't drive cars like this on a daily basis. So those saying there is no mechanical sympathy being shown here, well you need to go and research how to get times on a manual car. This particular unit is doing just fine and still running about.

When Mat did 5.3 I felt like the shifts could've been faster. This guy confirms it very well.

I don't get people in the comments saying he'll destroy the car shifting like that. He's trying to get a better time, it's literally what it says in the title, it doesn't say driving responsibly to preserve the car.

Mat Watson is shifting like a truck driver compared to that man

[macak]

germans looked for this guy when inventing DSG

I’ve had mine 14 months done 17000 miles pick up in 3rd from 30mph is bonkers, fab motor.

Shows the difference of me owning my car and getting over 6 seconds 😅 I baby it

Wow lots of strong comments here. Well I've been performance testing cars for over seven years and not one manufacturer has come back to me with complaints of my driving. I guess flat-shifting isn't a well-known technique. I apologise if you are upset by how I conducted this acceleration test. 🙏

As for proof, unfortunately I don't have access to the VBOX data and didn't have a second camera to record the test but the results are published in the January 2022 issue of CAR.

4 seconds with just 3 cylinders. What a great car toyota has developed

[yusuferenkandara]

i saw mat with this car peaked 5.3 and i just thinked shifting could be faster, after then that guy appeared nice work man appricate that

[lishakalijee]

The time is very impressive for a 3 cylinder 1.6 car to that 0-100km/h

[TsakLike]

Well done! I admire your shifting! The best flat shifting technique!

Good job. Nice to see someone powershifting the right way. Nice video.

For everyone that complains about him putting stress on the engine - the most important thing for an engine is the supply of oil and the right amount of coolant. If everything is lubricated and optimally cooled at all times, you should have no issue of direct metal to metal contact breaking something in your engine. Of course everything has to be at optimal temperature to drive hard. Going into redline translates into the risk of the oil film breaking, or the engine overheating in some places, resulting in potentially breaking components. If you do it responsibly and not all of the time, you are fine. It is also not good to not stress an engine and always leave it under 3000 RPM. Residue will start to form and keeps piling up, blocking your valves which can result in misfire and at worst engine failure. Make sure to give your engine 3000 - 4000 RPM occasionally when it is at optimal temperature.

It's always a delight when Americans give stick driving lessons

[fbisecretagent]

Trust me toyota can survive that shift. I do it too sometimes for better results 🤣

[daiwei]

He's getting wild with the damn shifter boy

[ipijaatinen]

These cars needs and likes driving hard 💪🏻

[bepowerification]

THATS how you shift if you want to accelerate fast. nice.
