Drag Race: Volkswagen Polo GTI vs Toyota Yaris GRMN

26 Sep 2018

The final drag race instalment of our warm hatch shootout is here. The new Polo GTI takes on the supercharged Toyota Yaris GRMN.

In part 3 of our warm hatch drag race competition, the new Volkswagen Polo GTI takes on the very limited edition Toyota Yaris GRMN. The Yaris will not even be sold in South Africa, but we managed to get hold of one. Both cars managed to beat the Renault Clio RS 18 in the previous races so it's a winner vs winner takes all race for the line.

The Polo has more torque and launch control, but will the manual gearbox and lighter weight of the Yaris give it an advantage?
