It wouldn't have sold as well, well, in reality it probably would have, but not to the car enthusiasts who love driving.... I for one wouldn't have given it a second look if it was an auto.
@@celliott16 I agree I think this car is so much of a hit because it doesn’t focus on spec sheet racing even though the numbers are very good for this car this car is made for driving not need to be the fastest
Because the GTI this time around is slow.. and Das auto knows it.. Pity this is going to be the last generation in history, but I bet you they have deliberately done this to give way to a more potent one coming towards the end of its days.. Let's watch the space..
Awesome race... Awesome GR Yaris!!!! - I wonder why you didn't do a standstill drag race with the GTi? I mean, the ! series is also front wheel drive like the GTI....
The Yaris would have embarrassed the gti's reputation too much for their marketing team to allow a standing start. Imagine the drop in sales if it does this to a top beamer...
Be keen to see the new 135 versus the GR now. This is impressive for the 128, but on some twisty roads/around a track....Yaris would be off into the distance. It would also slightly help the 128 if it wasn't on Bridgestones, but PS4s...
@@BubblesTheCat1 well in dct cars, it just dumps the clutch or sometimes slip it slightly to manage wheelspin (but that's mostly for 2wd cars). In reg autos it just loads up the torque converter
@@BubblesTheCat1 it's the same basic concept as dumping a manual and launch control in a dct vehicle - but the clutch ofc is computer controlled in a dct. Although some transmissions, like the 9 speed in mercs and Porsche pdks, have a seperate clutch just for launching.
At 2.14 seconds you can clearly hear the Yaris detonating /pinging definitely down on power .. it needs better fuel. If you know your know .. nice video as usual guys
I wanted a ford focus st... Then I found out they were discontinued and ford was going another direction 🤦🏾♂️ (idiots)... Then I thought 🤔 to myself what's the best way to embarrass a German fan boy on a rainy without having to break my bank... I was learning towards the new Hyundai N - models but then I saw this little baby and my goodness 😳 this is all anyone will ever want, it's near perfection 👌🏾
I don't really know what Bmw was thinkin bout when they produced that shitbox of car...when would an 28 loose to a Yaris? That Yaris is a better car in every way possible!!
Good for starters Toyota still needs to improve they should consider a automatic gear box but though interms of price I believe is too expensive I don't know the reason though
They developed the engine from scratch. The chassis, that is GR badge on that thing, they paid attention to detail bra.... Go book a test drive on the track and you'll understand why
BMW's turbocharged 2.0-liter cylinder engine produces 243 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, while Toyota's 1.6-liter turbo three-cylinder engine provides 266 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque. Also, Toyota has all-wheel drive. not a fair race 👎🏼
Nice comparison - but the YARIS is surely the more sporty Hatch and sooooo much less expensive than the BMW. And if the BMW would have a manual shifter it would have lost the race real hard!
FLAT FOOT SHIFTING...honda boyz "who hasnt !!" seriously tho even tho his flat foot shifting the Yaris still sounds like its dropping revs on the change is that other audio or am I wrong? if so is the engine itself not allowed to rev up on gear change when holding the ACC down that then means the ECU is being a bit boring.
@@HBK180IGSE no just a question as a part time car tinkler i like asking questions to learn more i was watching with headphones on and didnt hear the engine rev up between shifts rather it goes down like his foot wasnt flat so it just stood out to me like unsolved physics questions thats just how my mind works. Could also just be gearing as he changed so fast it just immediately took torque and as its a 3pot it would explain it.
It's disgraceful that this Toyota can beat this BMW, which has a bigger engine. It's not exactly power to weight either, the GR Yaris is simply a better engineered car.
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh who said only sport cars should be racing because there are non sport cars faster than sport cars e.g 330is is faster than golf 8 gti
One of the best drags ever from the 100s that I have watched over the years !
Thank you so much, that means a lot to us!
GR Yaris Rally - my car of the year 2021 and for the next few years! This GR Yaris Rally will become a true icon.
GR Yaris should be even faster. 7000 RPMs then sidestep the clutch. In Australia, 0-100 km/h tested in real world conditions at 4.8 seconds.
The Toyota is a weapon Toyota needs to take that drive train and spread it throughout their lineup of cars
Agree. But only in their sport versions of their models right?
Very impressive from the BMW...was not expecting it to be as close to the yaris as it was
No freaking way!
🤣
You 2 are so entertaining to watch. Great chemistry
Imagine if that Yaris has a dual clutch automatic for mere mortals to launch it well every time!
Calm down

@@celliott16 But I can’t help to think how much faster it would be with a proper automatic dual clutch transmission compared to the manual
Fantastic, I can smell the clutch from here😂😂
This Drag Race lives rent free in my head..
Incredible driving by Ash..💪💪
The yaris clearly bogged off the line in the first race. BUT thats a real world result as not every launch will be as good as the second race.
That was a great drag, love how you guys are explaining what your doing different between runs, very important for the viewers at home 🏆👍
Loving the turbo noises from yaris!
I wonder why the GTI got a rolling start but the BMW gets a stand still Quarter.

I wouldn't even consider the BMW. Doesn't deserve that ti nameplate in my opinion. I love that Yaris. Seen a few on the roads here in the UK.
Good gear changes in the second race for the Yaris!
Very entertaining drag race! Delighted to see the 128ti take out the hot hatch du jour in that first drag! Especially since I have a 128ti :-)
Ugh, Of course 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
@@kgmk7604 Still killed it in the second race 😂
@@BugLifeZA haha, yes. However I’d still pick the bmw, it’s a great car.
@@kgmk7604 I wouldn't, it looks better but practically speaking it depreciates faster and costs about double to repair.
Imagine if it was being driven by someone who could launch the Yaris without immediately going "oh" and looking like they brake
Really made us wait on this one🤣👍
I've been wondering, can anybody tell me where I can get track day insurance? Why buy a GR Yaris if you can't drive it like that on a track?
Good one boys, nice shifting Ash, that yaris is a menace, BMW only proved its long history of voodoo concoction..
Could be interresting to see the 128i vs the m135i xdrive :)
Well done on the launch
You need to slip the clutch a little so it doesn't bog.
Did both cars have two people in it? The yaris seemed to.
Excellent video btw
Brilliant drag race really entertaining
Just pause a bit after reading specs so we can read what’s on the screen please
very good drag race show what it does when you improvise..Yaris , that is why the dsg gearboxes is so good.
What a good race. Although it should have been a rolling race like how the golf 8 gti raced the yaris
Ok, ok...this Bimmer fanatic concedes 😵🤷🏿♂️. Nonetheless, JHB to next province, I'd still chose the Bimmer 🤗.

Ash call Deon and thank him for the advice 😂 it worked 😂
Awesome. Loved it.
That BMW was impressive
Yes launch initially but caught
Strange, every where, the spec of the 128ti is 195kw but not 180
Difference between manual and automatic
Nice race. Doesn't dropping the clutch on an all wheel drive car put one at risk of serious drive train damage?
That's basically what launch control is in all AWD cars
@@abdullahbinshahid3199 What does launch control do? Does it slip the clutch, or something? I don't know how it works. 😎👋👍
@@BubblesTheCat1 well in dct cars, it just dumps the clutch or sometimes slip it slightly to manage wheelspin (but that's mostly for 2wd cars). In reg autos it just loads up the torque converter
@@abdullahbinshahid3199 Ok, but isn't the Yaris a normal manual gearbox, with clutch?
@@BubblesTheCat1 it's the same basic concept as dumping a manual and launch control in a dct vehicle - but the clutch ofc is computer controlled in a dct. Although some transmissions, like the 9 speed in mercs and Porsche pdks, have a seperate clutch just for launching.

What a mad race, Beam 🤣🤣🤣🤣i was nervous and thought the yaris would win the drag race and it did
Any times?
2:21 you have another person sitting in Yaris while doing the drag race???? for real?
There is a few shots where you see one. Trying to make the race more dramatic by slowing the Yaris down.
Toyota Fckin nailed it with that GR. Masterpiece
That Toyota is no joke 🍻
Still eager to see an Audi S1 go against the Yaris....
Auto boxes are just that much better.
I don't really know what Bmw was thinkin bout when they produced that shitbox of car...when would an 28 loose to a Yaris? That Yaris is a better car in every way possible!!
Can’t wait for the GR Corolla! My wallet has turned into a raging inferno. 👌🏻😂💴🔥🔥💨

no it doesnt need a automatic gearbox. Which car that costs that much has the same features? Its not cheapb
I knew it,the yaris was going to win. this new yaris GR,IT'S A MACHINE YOU DON'T WANT TO DISRESPECT,IT WILL LEAVE YOU BEHIND,LOVE IT
Where’s the roll race???
Just wow. FWD + weight disadvantage and still manages to win on the 1/4 mile. That's german technology for you!

not a fair race 👎🏼
Yeah they should make the yaris 2.0 Litre to be fair.
Nice vid... drag times are not what this car is about tho, Compare them down a shitey wet B-road!

He was slow at gear changes.
Get this on @Carwow with Matt
Wow Toyota 🙌
That ti is strong I'm really surprised by it
Yaris was loosing some power on every gearshift. Sad to see it loose but happy for bmw. Confused 😩

TOYOTA 😎👍🏻
Let's get a BMW manual vs yaris manual
Go the whole hog and throw in some pot holes and tight twisty damp bends, I'd wager very little, if anything, could beat the GR in those conditions.
How much is the top spec Toyota Yaris selling for here in SA
800000
Drag races are fine, but the Yaris was not built for just that.
Put these on the circuit, and the beemer will have no idea what happened.
What a joke, you can see a a passenger in the yaris during some of the external shots.
A little extra weight ballast to make the race more dramatic.
My grrrrrrrryaris the best
This really makes me sad, as a driver of the 2021 V6 F Sport Lexus. Toyota can make fast cars but they haven't made mine 🤣
Toyota 💪
Next gen gr yaris: no-lift shift
Never thought I would see a yaris destroy a bmw lol
In the real world,weight can be helpful.
It's always other cars versus BMWs.
Once you have been in an accident car wise, youll not be keen to do this on public roads
That boy can't shift.
As usual No Rolling?!!!!!!! 🤔
PLEASE DO THE NEW CHERRY CAR WITH THE 1 MILLION/10 WARRANTY!!

Depends who is driving the car....
@@nhlanhlaradebe8 u don't always rev it like that when u race u won't have a gearbox left if u keep doing that
This shows how far away German engineering is from Japan's since the 80s , with a 2l and auto 🤣

Poor way of shifting the gears that why he lost the drag race!
