GT-R NISMO v GR Yaris: V6 v 3cyl DRAG RACE

It’s time for a JDM showdown!

We’ve got the almighty Nissan GT-R NISMO going up against… A GR Yaris?!

But wait! This is no normal GR. Just wait until you see the stats.

The regular GR Yaris can produce 261hp and 360Nm from its 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine. However, this edition rolls up with a fully built engine that produces a ridiculous 630hp and 430Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed sequential manual gearbox, and almost every aspect of the car has been modded and upgraded! It doesn’t come cheap though - all in it costs an eye-watering £130,000!

Then we have the Nissan. Unlike the Yaris, it’s completely stock, which means it’s powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 that will produce 600hp & 652Nm. Naturally, it’s heavier than the Yaris, weighing in at 1,725kg compared to 1,280kg, and when it was new it cost around £125,000.

So the Yaris is slightly up on power, but will the crazy amount of mods & upgrades all work as they’re meant to?! There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

A V6 vs. a 3-cylinder is madness. The GR Yaris is epic! Great vid, guys!

[rolfknappmann]

Unexpectedly: this was the most thrilling AND competitive dragrace I've seen in a while.

At this point Mat watson will probably race a 3000 HP GTR against a jet.

The GTRs still looking good after all these years 🤔

Perfect timing! Picking up my first GTR this week! 2019 In white!

Careful, Toyota may deny your warranty as you crossed 85mph

That Yaris is absolutely mental.
Hat's off to the tuning team!

That's 200HP per a cylinder folks. Let that sink in.

Best Car reviewing and drag race channel ever

[MAC_NELO]

This was more exciting than the previous Revuelto VS RS7 race... Epic!!!

[ahmed]

Never expected that one day I would see Yaris race head-to-head with a GT-R 😂

[darrenprior]

600hp from what is basically a fart in a jar. Love the Yaris!!

[muscle_car_guy]

8:50 Wow. Give that poor Nissan some fuel 😂

Awesome videos as always Matt! One thing you can add which will give another perspective to the videos is a cutout of the speedos of each car in a corner during the races so we can compare the acceleration and gearshifts. Will add a tonne of data on how the cars perform other than just the times. I love this channel and have watched every single videos from the early days watching it grow to the best car show on YouTube!

Keep up the good work! ❤
