  • The 2021 Toyota GR Yaris is the hot hatch hero of its generation. This 257bhp hot-shoe is one of our favourite cars of the moment, priced at only £33,495 (including a Circuit Pack) but capable of 0-62mph in 5.5sec and with a top speed of 143mph.
    But we wondered, given it has a bespoke four-wheel drive system, just how capable it was in lousy conditions. So we arranged it to meet with another four-wheel drive performance car, the 2021 Nissan GT-R Nismo, in very cold, very wet and quite foggy conditions.
    The two cars are quite different. The Toyota is small and, relatively, affordable and modestly powered. The GT-R Nismo, meanwhile, has 592bhp, a 196mph top speed, can go from 0-62mph in 2.8sec and costs some £180,095.
    On track together, though, how different will their driving characteristics, capabilities and lap times prove? Join Matt Prior as we find out.

No need to put a proper driver. Even the simple guys like us, driving a GT-R (or cars in a similar category) is a memorable event, even without exceeding road legal limits.

      That's what the hand-brake is for... to make the tail come out. It's rally driver controls. You want to get around the long high speed corners as fast as possible, so the car has to have as much grip as possible. The hand-brake is an advanced driving control, essentially the 'tail out button' AND the most fun, it's just that people tend to forget..

It's still quick but not nearly interactive or fun.

      @@sodazman Well I dunno then, maybe this AWD system is superior and what wins world rallys for Toyota... they've had years to perfect it... also.. you associate handbraking with slow cornering but... a WRC driver yanks on the h every 10 seconds on average. Maybe you should mod your Yaris with one of those vertical easy-to-reach-and-yank handbrake levers... another thing I might add is that, this GR Yaris is probably made to be driven FAST to have fun, driven even FASTER than that Evolution, hence the immense traction. It's also probably made to go much faster in snow and gravel, hence the extra extra extra grip. I think it's the AWD system that's providing all that extra grip, the tyres aren't special at all.

    I would have liked to have seen the footage from both the timed laps. To better compare both cars and driver.
    A standard GTR in the wet is a handful, and my first ever experience in one on a very wet track had the rear completely step out coming out of a slow radius hair pin when I tried to give it some. My immediate reaction was to back of the throttle, steer in, straighten up and go again.
    If you don’t have any confidence in the car, keeping your foot in and hoping the electronics sort it out, is to be honest not really on the table.
    So I can understand a lighter more balanced and tractable car, producing a better lap time.
    Swap to a racing driver, or equivalent tyres and I’m convinced this would have been a different result.
