    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!

    Hello.
    I personally restore and tune Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Edition in Japan.
    This car is one of the most valuable in the EVO series, and the number produced is small.
    It looks like a normal EVO VI, but there are many changes from EVO VI.
    The other day, it was sold at the EU Mitsubishi auction for about 15 million yen in Japanese yen.
    We hope that the owners of this car around the world will take good care of it.

Unless you got $ to burn for the pricey, rare parts for repairs that it'll be needing. 12.5 in the quarter is insane tho for both cars. Faster than an STI, Golf R, type R, RS Etc. Seems almost too fast with 260 HP in the GR Yaris but then I remember how light it is. Car must be hilarious to drive with all that power, trick AWD system, at only around 2800 lbs.

      Yanni would turn decently but his belly would oversteer him and then his legs-butt would drift.
      Mat would have better acceleration, but his chicken legs wouldn't have much grip when turning so in the caruzel he would fart for nitro boost.
      Doug would benefit from his aerodynamic nose but his heavy tongue would slow him down so if he were to swallow it, his center of gravity would lower so he would stay stable, not leaning too much in the bends and his toothpick legs would grip better than Mat's.
