Can a GR Yaris keep up with a Porsche 991.2 GT3 Touring on the Nürburgring?

- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2021
- Very good day to be on track, weather was beautiful albeit quite cold (around 4C at the time of filming). Fourth lap with the GR Yaris on track, and my 16th overall lap of the Nürburgring. I was feeling more confident with the Yaris and decided to push more! Unfortunately traffic was already picking up, with quite a few more cars on track, as well as some accidents. Though it was still super enjoyable to follow on the tail of this amazing machine that the 991.2 GT3 is! For sure a dream car! The owner was also super chill at the end, kudos to him! Enjoy!

That toyota is serious a TRUE rally bred machine awesome driving too what compliments the car great video welldone
Thanks 👍! It really is!
The crazy part is.... it come with 10 years warranty even you abuse it like hell. 100k miles/10 yeas in Porsche is farcry without expensive maintenance and repairs.
@@rondhole just amazing isn't it smh toyota really have come really far
@@damienhowell3727 It takes many decades for Toyota to fully commit on fun cars from conservative boring durable cars. It is ironic, all Corolla has full rear independence suspension (Yaris GR used it), even not all Golf, Octavia, Leon can get it.
@@GreatMotors but from mainland? Had an accent I dont recognise. Is it Madeira or
Açores? Anyway - loved it .... even better "sem máscara" OH and in the translation into English.... "fodos" ... interesting choice of English word 😉
Great video guys.
The end is the best, when drivers shows respect to each other - like it a lot 🙂
The yaris really is a little beast. First time I drove one I loved how much fun it was. I think as good as they are i doubt it would even keeping up with that porsche if both cars had similarly skilled drivers. Modern porsches are very quick.
Old Porsches too ;)
Dude, the Porsche drover was obviously not as skilled as the dude in the yaris. Also, that porsche driver didn't push the car as much as he could (except for in the beginning), he matched it to the full push of the yaris (he went faster at some points and slowed down on some points of the track)
Some Porsches have traction control problems and will make you lose control
When there were no other cars around the porsche disappeared off into the distance. As soon as he caught up to traffic he backed right off until he could safely pass and the yaris was able to catch up and get through the traffic easily because of the porsche. Then the porsche was gone again. Yaris driver was driving hard, porsche driver was driving sporty
@@mad082sss Check again, after the GT3 made the douc bag move around the safety car right before the carousel in order to pull a gap, the Yaris chased him down on the most technical part of the circuit. That Yaris sounded like it had a V6, definitely was not stock. And having a pro level driver behind the wheel didn't hurt either. Not many videos up with the driver on the limits of traction while cornering and braking, taking perfect lines and having a casual conversation.
Nice driving and never thought i would see a yaris go like that at the Nurburgring
Never did I :)!!
It's not a regular Yaris. 🤦 This Yaris would beat 99% of cars on the road.
and to think the original yaris was a fwd econo shit box that it's performance barely surpassed that of a geo metro. very odd indeed
@@RotaryPoweredRX As was the initial Lancia Delta
@@renwra1384 nice piece of trivia
Very quick through the corners, well done!
Thanks!
Finally a video in some random language that I actually understand 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
:D

Thank you Akio Toyoda!
And you Miguel :-)
They developed an awesome car! I am really happy to see brands still having the heart and soul to take this types of projects!
I enjoyed that immensely, this was a terrific bit of driving in what is destined to become yet another halo car for Toyota. Ladies & gentlemen, the GR Yaris... 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much, and thanks for watching ! 🤙
I havent driven one myself, but judging from the feedback you usually see/read online or so, the Yaris GR must be just about the most fun-to-drive car in production today.
There are better cars. And more fun cars. But as price proposition the GR Yaris is really good. Can't find so much fun, for so little price anywhere else.
@@GreatMotors which other cars that are more fun would you recommend?
@@SlowDriverSean for that price you don’t get anything better than a Yaris!
Yes and i think that yaris Gr is faster in monza from 488 pista and egual to F1 75
Great drive ! Even without understanding what you're saying we can feel the happiness. Have fun with this little beast !
Thanks! There are English subtitles!
@@GreatMotors Wow I didn't see it. Gonna have to watch it again 😁
Just watching him drive and changing gears and pressing the pedal as the car roars makes me want to have a GR Yaris but I'm just a teenager and this Yaris is truly limited. It would be a dream to have such car
Wait a few years and go for it! I dreamt of having a Porsche when I was a kid, kept dreaming once ai became a teenager and I was able to get once before my 30th birthday!
@@GreatMotors Man I understand that part but here in my country. The price of used cars are expensive. We don't have that much sport cars here. there's even regulations on cars shouldn't have a modification. Widebody modifications, exhaust modifications it's prohibited. This GR Yaris would only be a dream but I'll get 1st Gen GT86. By the time I could afford to get one.
This GR Yaris would be hundred thousands due to it's rarity 😂
@@GreatMotors but Thanks Man
And for the first time in my life the words “maybe i should get a toyota yaris”, whispered in my head
Right ? Happened to me when I went test drive the car
The white GTI was never passed, great video. The yaris is amazing, but the driving was just so so good!
Thank you for watching !
And here i thought I was the only one who noticed that. It had to be heavily tuned though
@@sillimilli3802 or just a good driver too?
It was. @ 9:45. LOL
I love the Porsche driver's and passenger's reaction to this car. WISH we could get this Yaris in the states!!!
Haven’t seen a small car go this well on the track well since a Mini Cooper S in the 60’s - great driving!
naa, the WRX sti's in the 90's weighed less and had more power than these new Yaris. (WRX 10 more HP, 50KG less weight)
@@tbone5654 but balance and tyres and breaks etc
@@olegb5061 On the Nurburgring, the 26 year old stock WRX RA STI is 5 seconds faster than the new Yaris GR. 17 years ago my heavy modded Rex beat V12 Lambo's and Ferrari's, only thing that beat me was GTR's with built engines. The GR is a great little car, but for it's time, the 90's STI's were insane for price/performance.
@@tbone5654 that's good to hear
@tbone5654 don't forget evos. They were insane also.
Wow, that was some sharp driving! very nice lap. Kudos!
Thank you 🚀🚀
awesome driving... the 911 showed its prowess on the long straights and tight corners nothing short of clinical..... loved how he was attacking the corners in the yaris and it said is that all you have lol... definitely moved up on my list for a turbo awd since no more evolutions are produced... plus it's a yota reliable and capable of performance.
Takumi Fujiwara is proud

Great camera work!
Thanks a lot!
The land of the rising sun really created a beast here. Great car n good driving
I love these little cars. Every time I see one I want one more! Well driven, nice one :)
Fantástico o Yaris, e ainda me ri aos 6:15 tipo "sai da frente Guedes" 😂😂 Força aí e acima de tudo divirtam-se em grande
6:14, The Porsche driver was having fun! The Yaris driver was upset that the Porsche was not going! Why didn't you pass? Yaris' driver, you need to be more humble to verbalize: It was good to have watched! Great little Toyota Yaris GR❤️
Cheers 🙏
Man when that track opened up that Porsche 911 said "buh bye!"
Well it would be really weird if it wouldn't have. That thing has almost twice the horsepower. 500 vs 260hp
Excellent skills, nice cornering, bravo!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow..able to give a GT3 a good run for the money..a BIG Well Done dude!!
Thank you 🙏
No chance, the GT3 is a minute faster around the Nurburgring in the right hands.
That Golf gti tcr up front very fast!,
@@MrRonan3 indeed
@@sodazman Agreed...the driver makes all the difference in the world. Put a pro driver behind the wheel of both vehicles and turn a lap there is no comparison. Most people forget this. But credit to the dude behind the wheel of the Yaris as he can drive. I've found 90% of owners of supercars don't know how to drive them on track.
Great lap and really fun to watch! Thanks for the vid mate
Nice video. I was actualy looking for the VW Golf that was in front of you at the beginning it really smoked everyone.
The Yaris is amazing !! Clean and confident drive 👍✨
🚀 thank you
It’s a Yaris 🤦♂️
All from 3 cylinders..Amazing little rocket ..
@@AdUnumomnes It's not just a Yaris....
@@AdUnumomnes so its fast
That was very impressive driving!
Gotta love the thumbs up 👍 from the GT3 driver and passenger at the end. Respect.
👍👍👍
Wow!!!! Yari GR guys🙌👏👏 big up toyota. I enjoyed the gear shifting and the sound of the car after each and every corner. Whoooo I'd love to own
Man your driving style reminds me of Fernando Alonso, especially on corner entry with the sudden wheel turning on the inside! Very cool to watch. Keep it up!
Wow, thanks! Fernando is A M A Z I N G. I just try to not suck too hard :D
That was insane! GR yaris changed the way I see toyota. Great job man, done it.
Thanks, and thank you for watching 🙏
@@GreatMotors no problem man, great content anyways. 👍👍
I enjoyed this video so much! Thank you for sharing!
I am really glad you enjoyed it!
You can just tell that the gr Yaris is a car built to make people smile, what a car, I hope I can own one when I’m older
TOYOTA GR YARIS 😎👍🏻
Pocket rocket 🚀
I’m guessing that was Apex’s GR Yaris on the back of the tow truck.
Nah, this lap was after they got toed. I crossed them on my first lap of this day!
I think the driving is what kept you in the game. I'm seriously impressed with that GR Yaris though.
That little Yaris is a frigin monstrous beast on the track,pretty dang impressed
Espectáculo! Grande máquina e condução exímia! 😎👌
Obrigado!
Incredible car and pretty good driver. Thx for the video.
Thanks 👊!
That little Yaris goes like hell. I was on the edge of my seat watching this.
Great video, it clearly shows mastery and your driving skills. Keep it up ;)
This put a smile on my face
👍👍👍
Great driving skill in the end 👍🏾. I really hope i could drive this little beast.
Thank you 🙏
Impressive! Rally racing never take off in North America, hence the appetite for hot hatch is way less over this side. This little Toyota is simply an piece of engineering art.
I feel sad for all the Americans that don't get to enjoy this small pocket rockets 🚀🚀🚀
I like how the Yaris driver expressed his awe of the Porsche. No hate here. Just love and appreciation of fast cars. Well done.
Really love porsche. I would have a full Porsche only garage if I could afford it €€. The 911 GT3 Touring would be my daily 🥰
Great video, great driving, fantastic engine sound!
Thank you!
Great comradery at the end! Good sport
Thank you! 🤜🤛
No sport of course, remember this is just a toll road (lol)
I like this split camera deal you got going ! Excellent driving
man the gen 2 with the tricked auto working the motor even harder will be something to see. Brilliant video, best I've watched, beautiful driving!
That was awesome 👍🏻
Thank you!
Great car, great driving 👌
Amazing car and driver! Thank you for posting!
Thank you for watching !
One word..Wow!!
Thank you!
It’s funny to watch this. Like the late great Sabine. I love going around guys who have the ability to buy a sports car, but not the ability to drive it. Especially those who are trying. It really lets the wind out of their sails when a pickup truck drives past them and they just can’t keep up.
Like 🤜🤛
yeee
Woah!!! That driving was spot on!! Fantastic car too!!!
Thanks a lot!
You kept up but that was on-the-edge of your seat driving! Whew!
Muito BOM!!!!! Excelente condução, até o do 911 gostou!!!!! Ahahahahahah, obrigado pela partilha :D
Obrigado por veres o video!
Excellent 👍🏻
Love to have a GR
You and me both!
The head cam was nice. Being able to see in the mirrors let me feel a sense of safety I often lack watching 'Ring vids. Danke.
Thanks 👍!
This car and the new nissan z are the best thing that happened for car enthusiasts this year . (When I say car enthusiasts I am not talking about drag racing , or brand names lovers , I am talking about tracking , autocross and drifting)
ALTOS TUGAS!! Orgulho
Obrigado Álvaro!
Buying one in two days. So excited :D
I went to test drive it with no expectation. Came out blown away. Was in the dealership 3 days later signing paperwork...
@@GreatMotors unfortunatly I have to wait for mine till december
@@user-ui1sl4ul2j GR yaris is the best car of 2021
I've seen a lot of videos of these brilliant cars. But this tops it. An old colleague told me about this video, very glad I watched. Absolutely brilliant. I hope one day to drive the Nurburgring (in real life) and not in GT4/5 etc 🤣. At least I should know what's coming up I've been round it so many times now
In answer to the title, Yes, yes it can.
Awesome driving in an awesome car 🚙💨
👏👏❤️
Lol, the answer is no it can't. If there wasn't traffic, the Porsche would have disappeared in the first few minutes of driving.. The Yaris was fantastic though
Great video again - The GT3 had a shock!
Thanks! 👍
@Zombie Head if you track your GT3, you know the risks and are not worried about the financial loss (if you were you wouldn't track it 😀)
@Zombie Head no mate it's just a factor of more speed and getting used to the track with that car and even the track alone. Best case that illustrates this was a guy here "//" was his username with a gt4, FAST AF, pushing all kinds of more powerful cars, switched to a gt3 rs almost crashed and was all over the place getting passed by all kinds of less powerful cars for a couple of dozen laps.
The porsche driver said: good close up.
Well done, super car the gr yaris👍🏾
@Zombie Head yaris only close when theres traffic. not a big deal.
Εxcellent driving skills! On what mode was the setup? Sport or Track?
Driving in track mode!
Wow... You earned my sub, incredible driving.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
I could not look away. That was awesome!
Thank you 🙏
Nice video, it's amazing just how much grip this thing has
Thank you! Yes it is!
Engine actually sounds pretty nice 👍
Sound through the speakers. They’re not real but it does sound nice nevertheless
@@dwoolwichpoly9086 i think it makes the sound louder, but its the original sound frequencies?
Lol! It was fantastic watching that Porsche not disappear! Some well done driving there!
Thank you! And thanks for watching !
Not long after you were chasing us, we decided to get a Yaris ourselves. Unbelievable car, freakin love it!
Amazing!! That's a hell of a story!
I wish they were going to sell this in the US. The car looks so cool!
I feel for the people in the US. I guess your market is usually not interested in hot hatchbacks
It was sold in Mexico (sold out in less than 24hrs). Wouldn’t you have been able to import it? You shouldn’t have the chicken tax.
@@GreatMotors problem is the safety because we dont even get the normal yaris here. I dont know why it would be less safe to begin with but what can you do 😑
Grandes Tugas!!! 👏 Caralhadas e merdas! Grande vídeo. Conselhos: entras cedo em algumas curvas, podes aproveitar mais a pista, travas cedo e largas, mudas de mudança em plena curva largando a mão do volante, no final não desaceleres tanto é perigoso. Eu tb fazia essas coisas. Sempre a aprender.
Obrigado 🙏! 🚀🚀 tem sido sempre a puxar (e a tentar evoluir!)
A 3 cylinder right? That's an absolutely gorgeous sound it makes. WAY better than any 4 cylinder I've heard.
Yup 3 pot. They sound more "racy" than 4 pots usually. The engine was a really nice job from Toyota
it amazes me how much torque this little 1.5 3 cilinder turbo has, its an amazing fun little car this GR yaris. Great driving, its quick :)
Thank you! It's actually a 1.6l which makes it the biggest capacity 3 cylinder (if you exclude extreme low production boutique hyper cars).
The GTI driver thoo
Love the engine sound
The car has a nice intake noise, the rest is played via the speakers :D!
@@GreatMotors 🥲😂
Very nice! Very respectable! Following is a lot easier than leading
Well done. A nice example of an experienced driver in a regular car vs someone who could afford an expensive sports car and doesn't knows how to drive it to its limits
The Porsche driver was with a child inside. Im glad he didn't try to race
@@sillimilli3802 what exactly do you consider a child?
Gostei muito da condução, muito linear, e muito bem aproveitado o carro parabéns.
Obrigado Carlos!
Great video thanks for sharing! I'm a new driver and dreaming to go to Nurburgring, would you advice against it to drive kind of reasonably or it's welcoming to every type of drivers?
Welcoming to everyone. Remember to follow standard etiquette. Keep to the right of the road if you don't know the way, right blinker to indicate that you see the cars approaching and you are letting them by, don't go across the track without checking your mirrors :).
I would also recommend booking either a taxi lap or some instruction laps.
O gti até se aguentou :). Grande conduçao! parabens e obrigado pela partilha
🖖 o GTI andava bem
What a great video.
When the video started my reaction was "oh wait, is it Portuguese? What are the odds of see a video of a Yaris GR in Nurbergring driven by Portuguese people saying some Caralhadas"? 😂
Parabéns pelo video.
Grande abraço
Obrigado :) adoro esta pista, e quando nós juntamos dois no mesmo carro dá sempre aso a palavreado colorido!
Beautiful lap, split camera setup gave me slight motion sickness sometimes though 😅
It's a balance between passing the sense of speed and not making people dizzy.
Fantástico! Boa linha, boa velocidade, bom carro e especialmente bom condutor, sim senhor! Bom trabalho!
Muito obrigado! 🙏
What a machine! True drivers car! This is what Mini failed to do with the Mini GP! That 3 cylinder in the Yaris sounds so glorious!
Awesome drive! Giving that little car the beans
Thanks 👍
This is what happens when a Yaris is going 10/10ths & a GT3T going 4/10ths 😂
The Yaris had more to give. The GT3 for SURE had even more to give!
@@karnermart or he was just not on the mood to go faster.
in the end it doesn't matter. they had fun.
@@descent8275 this is the most important thing !!
Yeah like when I used to pass Porsche 911's and Corvettes on track days in my 160hp CRX. Sometimes guys with these cars do not want to drive at 10/10ths or they do not have the skills to go any faster.
Great ride : your Toyota is fantastic ! 👍🏻
Glad you like it!
Credit to the driver for pushing that Yaris do hard ,m shocked the brakes didn't fail
Wow. It looks really maxed out but if the GR Yaris could talk I’m sure this vehicle would be loving it
buddy this is very very far from maxed out there are several running over 500whp that's crazy power from a 3 banger I'm just buzzing that I have one 😁
Great video. The "toy" is moving forward despite not great aerodynamics, a rally chassis, a manual gearbox..
You obviously lack 100 HP to push the Porsche (small repro with large intercooler?) .. I think its passengers have recognized your merits.
I noticed your brakes were squealing, so I think you have upgraded gear.
Your suspension, however, does not seem to be guided enough, the car seems to seek its way, without you touching the steering wheel. I know it has a short wheelbase but there is clearly a point to settle here.
Can I, however, make a small remark?
Having done a few hours of fast driving in my youth, I think you would benefit from smoothing out your driving on the circuit; your practice being closer to that in rally (although the Nur is not quite as soft as a real circuit I agree).
You will also go out less with this feeling of having played sports. To do this, invest in a harness and remember to recline the back of your seat as much as possible. I found it confusing at first but you quickly can't do without it over time.
Good luck and thanks again for sharing.
It's written in the video description. Using different brake pads, brake fluid and braided brake lines. Rotors and calipers are stock.
You really did improve vs the M2 video!
Thanks! I was catching the right rhythm and knowing the car better. Also getting more familiar with the track!
Aye! That's what I was thinking. If it was another slower track we'll see him overtaking. No doubt...
Amazing what Toyota have achieved with a little 3 cylinder hatchback.
I am seriously thinking of going out to buy one, I never thought that something like this one have been on my list of wants.
Thanks for the video,and your fantastic driving amigo from Portugal.Hola from Greece,Athanasios
Obrigado! Thank you!! 🚀🚀
