How's this for a car vs bike drag race?!
Mat's lining up in a Toyota GR Yaris, and he's lining up versus a Dakar Rally-winning GASGAS RX 450F!
So let's see how the two 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 out to all four wheels, and the automobile ideas the scales at 1,280 kg.
When it comes to the bike, well it's a great deal lighter, can be found in at around 150kg! It's powered by a 450cc fuel-injected single cylinder which can deliver around 72hp and 150Nm of torque. So sure, it's method down on power, however it's SO much lighter than the Yaris! What's more, it's also being ridden by none other than two-time Dakar rally winner Sam Sunderland!
Nevertheless, that's not all. If the GR Yaris isn't up to it, we've also got a Toyota Supra joining us! This is powered by a 3-litre straight-six turbo that can produce 387hp and 500Nm. However, together with more power, there's also more weight, can be found in at around 1,500 kg. What's more, whereas the Yaris was all-wheel-drive, the Supra is only rear-wheel-drive!
So how will this play out – will the super-light bike power to success? Or will among the cars take victory? There's only one method to discover … LET'S RACE!
