V12 Ferrari v 3cyl Tuned GR Yaris: DRAG RACE
The Carwow Black Friday sale is now live: https://bit.ly/Carwow-Black-Friday-Sale
It’s time for Italy and Japan to go head-to-head!
We’ve got our hands on a Ferrari 812 Superfast, and it’s going up against… A Toyota GR Yaris?! But, of course, this is no ordinary GR Yaris - it’s the same one that took on the Lamborghini Aventador SV!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Ferrari, it’s powered by a glorious 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that can produce 800hp and 718Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the car weighs 1,630kg. When new, it cost around £261,000!
Then we have the GR Yaris. It’s normally powered by a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol that can produce 261hp and 360Nm. However, that has been ripped out and replaced with a fully built engine, and this tuned Yaris now puts down 630hp and 430Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed sequential gearbox, and the car weighs just 1,280kg! With all the mods added it has a value of around £130,000!
So the Ferrari has more power, but the Yaris is super light! Can you pick a winner? There’s only one way to see which will come out on top… LET’S RACE!
