How’s this for an old school vs new school drag race!
We’ve got Mat in his all-new Toyota GR Yaris, and he’s going up against Yianni in the Mitsubishi Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition! And even if there’s 20 years between these two competitors, they’re actually more closely matched than you may think…
First up we have the GR Yaris. Powered by a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol, it can produce 261hp and 360Nm, while it also comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox. As for the Evo VI? Well it has 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol, which can produce 276hp and 373Nm! And of course, no surprise to hear that it’s a manual as well.
So they're pretty similar, right? What’s more, they’re both closely connected to legendary rally driver Tommi Makinen! While the Evo VI we have here is the Tommi Makinen edition (due to him previously winning the WRC in an Evo VI), he was also Team Principal for the Toyota Gazoo Racing, a rally team currently leading the WRC!
So what do you think - an easy win for the GR Yaris? Or will the classic Evo take it?
There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Hi Mat here. What would you like Yianni and I to race next?
The Evo any day over the Yaris ✋
"Today we find out if a 1000hp manual Skyline is faster than a Toyota Camry, but we put a toddler behind the wheel of the skyline"
Mat, we are still waiting on the running race against Yianni
This is why I love a manual, it requires you to get the most out of the machine.
Mitsubishi Evo was one of the best cars ever made, 20 years old and beats a new Yaris rally car. It's ironic Mitsubishi doesn't make anything good today.
I love how yanny always tries to use his weight by leaning forward to win😂
Oh man that Evo Makinen Edition brings back memories. Remember when it had so many head-to-head with my ultimate dreamcar the RS4 B5 Avant. My childhood! Thanks for this. Cheers

Hello.
Yianny:
Even as a wrx owner I was shouting for that Evo to win beautiful car
Imagine telling someone 10 years ago toyota would produce a factory Yaris quicker than an Evo 6.
Yiannimize : "old school old school"
Thanks so so much for setting this up!! Both quite similar cars from very different eras - the end goal is the same!
Absolutely EPIC battle. Super evenly matched cars and hysterical reactions...loved every min
The owner of that evo must be going nuts watching a guy that thinks his car weighs 1.3 Kilos destroy his clutch.
That was a ridiculously good watch! Seeing the drivers juice out every single bit of speed from each gear paired with their skill of switching gears. I need to see more of these!
After yeeeaaaaars,EVO is still a fast-reliable car to drive!well done Mitsubishi 👌
