In this rather epic shootout, the new Toyota GR Yaris takes on the new Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI in a 400m showdown.
While the two aren’t natural rivals, they are quite possibly the most hyped hot hatches of all time, and when we had the opportunity to put them head-to-head, we couldn’t say no.
So, here we go, a rolling start race between two of SA’s hottest hot hatches, enjoy and be sure to let us know how upset you are in the comments. We know you wanted to see a standing start race too, but the Yaris would have walked that easily.
