Dakar Rally Pick-up Truck v GR Supra: DRAG RACE

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

What s quickest in a drag race - a Toyota GR Yaris, a Toyota GR Supra, or a Toyota GR Dakar Hilux? Well, it s time to find out! We ve brought all three to an airstrip in the desert, and all three are going head-to-head to see which of these Toyota-powered machines can snatch the checkered flag! So let s see how these competitors compare. Starting with the GR Yaris, it s powered by a 1. 6-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine that delivers 264hp and 360Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and the car tips the scales at 1, 280kg. To it s right we have Mat in the Supra! This is powered by a 3-litre straight-six turbo that can produce 387hp and 500Nm. However, along with more power, there s also more weight, coming in at around 1, 500kg. Moreover, whereas the Yaris has all-wheel-drive, the Supra is only rear-wheel-drive! And then finally we have the almighty Dakar Hilux. It s also equipped with a 3. 5-litre twin-turbo V6, but the power output has been limited to 361hp and 650Nm. As you would expect it s also the heaviest car here, coming in at around 2, 000kg.

Wow, I've never seen Mat doing 3 out of 3 jumps starts!
No wonder the braking test panned out the way it did: Mathieu was way behind everyone else and Mat was way in front of everyone when they reached the line (13: 11. The results would've been very different if they were levelled.

Carwow is more and more picking up where the Golden Age of TopGear left off, as in
I'm a big car freak but I'm watching the videos just as much for the guys and their banter
What I'm saying: Send Mat and Yanni on a roadtrip to somewhere - PLEASE!

Omg. Mr Al-Attiyah. A motorsport God on carwow. Since 2004, he s been among the top drivers of Dakar - the last two he won -, which is only the toughest car race on the planet.

Does this mean Nasser and Mathieu would often tune their car (at a click of a button) during races? I guess Sebastien and the rest never stood a chance.

This new Dakar Hilux with the V6 Twin Turbo sounds actually very good, but the anterior V8 version had an epic sound. Like a wasps swarm.
