.............................................................
How’s this for a hot hatch drag race line-up! Mat’s sat in the carwow Car of the Year 2021, the Toyota GR Yaris, and it’s going up against the MINI GP!
First up we have the GR Yaris, which is powered by a 1.6-litre 3 cylinder turbo engine to deliver 261hp 360Nm. As for the MINI GP? Well, it’s up on power, with a 2-litre 4 cylinder engine providing 306hp and 450Nm of torque!
However, power isn’t everything! The track’s pretty wet, and while the MINI is only front-wheel-drive, the GR Yaris is all-wheel-drive! Will that be enough to push Mat through to victory? Or will the manual gearbox in the Toyota ultimately lose out to the automatic MINI?
There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Still for sale?
As a MINI owner, I am very pleased with this video!
"awww I've smashed him " .... Mini : " you wot son ? "
Got to love these little rockets!

Yup
nice
Rocket?

"Then what exactly happened?" never gets old.
I think this shows how good automatic transmissions have gotten
No it shows which car is faster. It was wet and the Yaris had AWD, plus better tyres.
@@the___truth8038 the mini has 40 more horse power, and yes automatic trans are much smarter nowadays and know the best way to get you going. The Yaris also is made for rally so the gears are much shorter, proven by him having to drop 2 gears to keep up at the rolling launch. They’re both great cars made for different reasons
@@tinuthomas531 If you knew how much better the GR's michelin tyres are in the wet (plus awd), than the GP's hankook, you'd just delete your comment.
@@the___truth8038 yeah but it’s a lower hp engine with shorter manual gears. Tires and AWD can only do so much.
Mmm...no... it's all about the power
5:48 Clutch probably was screaming 😂
almost looks like no clutch was used
Forget the clutch, the transmission was screaming.
What even happened? Downshift without pressing clutch or what??
@@midnightpurple555 Yeah it sounded like he downshifted too fast, didn’t press the clutch in early enough or far enough. I’ve done it before lol. Can’t shift a car like an arcade game.
@@midnightpurple555 No, sounded like like he down shifted with out rev matching
No one knew a YARIS could be made so exciting!
The hype reminds me of another car that everyone got trouser tents over and then lost interest quickly. What was it? Oh yes, The GR Supra. Any guesses as to what the next GR “forget me soon” will be?
im hoping for ghe gr aygo
@@stubones Everyone lost interest in the supra because, well, it sucked. The difference is the GR Yaris is actually a good car. Besides the "hype" it's just a very good driving car for a small amount of money.
@@stubones Bit like the GP3 plenty for sale.
I cant see whats exciting in 1.6l 3cyl that woud run for 150000km max.
After the race,
MINI: “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.
What covers? Lmao Mini is the best by far and the most expensive
@Fire Heart The GR Yaris is far from being a rally car. In it's stock specs, it's nothing more than a hot hatch.
@@bijdikh8516 Mini also has rally heritage and would be interesting if they ever make a 4WD GP model. I think the 4WD is called ALL4?
You know the Yaris will keep on going.
@@nakic7761 Mini? You mean BMW
Would be good to see all the new generations of Cooper S or GP’s against each other. I’ve a little R53 would like to see how it does against the others.
The Mini is crazy quick when there is traction. The Yaris is a weapon. Both cool AF.
The 2.0l mini engine is very strong I have an all 4 clubman 306bhp and it gaps the golf R
As fun as these drag races are, I'd like to see how they compare around a simple track.
The toyota whould smash the mini.
Mini is track focused
Yaris.
@@ruthlessgod1freefirename603 yaris unnoficial time is better than mini official time on nurburgring
that's right
Love the Drags. Thanks CarWow 😉
I think a „normal“ JCW would as well be an option for a drag race!
I would definitely pick the Mini :)
Great Video!
Rolling a JCW would beat the Yaris
for reliability sake i wil take the yaris over the mini all day. plus the handling is better.
@@dnlamp382 b48 super reliable engine in the cooper
03:32 The way she put her arms down looks like she didn’t even wanna be there 😂
Ikr, it kind of gives the impression: "What do I care now?.." xD
Because it was raining 😂😂
“These stupid little men make me stand in this stupid rain waving my stupid little arms in the air”
She was not amused having to wait in the rain for Mat to finish his dialogue
Yeah I can feel her man😂 it's cold, rainy and she probably had to stay there 30 Mon just waiting cause of the making of the vid, I'm sorry for her😂
Hot hatches are getting fast man! Love to see it.
Getting fast? lol did you forget the existence of cars like the A45, Ficus RS, M135i etc?
@@stubones Those are for posh bastards
@@stubones is there a ficus rs? Holy shit the trees
@@misteral365 your comment made me laugh harder than it should have, lmao
@@misteral365 😂
I would love to see how those small rockets make an turn on atrack as well.
Nice jump start by Mat in the drag race there.
A idea for future videos you could have your timing gear in each car to see 0-60 and 0-100 times! :)
Love your videos!
And those times would be very inaccurate for drag racing a FWD car in the rain? Of course an AWD car should jump way ahead of a FWD car off the line drag racing in the rain. I think it's stupid that they even do these drag races in the rain, especially when one car is AWD and the other one isn't.
@@BLACK05GO1 can’t really help that with English weather... Technically would be accurate in England as the roads are either wet or poor condition 90% of the time.
@@BLACK05GO1 agreed! It really annoys me when they do that and I’m glad the mini still won despite the biased conditions.
@@BLACK05GO1 I thinknits stupid they continuously pit manual cars against autos in a drag race, the autos are ALWAYS faster.
@@RacingGB Hey where in the UK do you live?! Where i live in the south west of the UK it does not rain all the time, far from it. The roads are great and quite well maintained. In the south west we have warm summers and mild winters. I mowed my lawn this morning in a T shirt! Haha
We all knew the MINI would win but still damn respect for that GR Yaris. What a car Toyota has made. Go Yaris!
I have a sneaky suspicion Mat thought he was going to win in yaris 🤔😂
@@1470tman nah the yaris is just more fun and the better performance car.
They tested it in the wet and the Mini still flew past it. Pretty funny.
@@Corvolet5 but it wasn't stable 😂😂
its trash
Good stuff 👍🏽 and a very interesting drag race!
Both great cars made for different reasons. I would personally prefer the Mini with the Auto as it would make it much easier to live with and that pick up when under traction is serious, I bet it could challenge a lot of fast BMW, Audis.
It does, proper little beast that requires you to be on point when you drive it... tons of grip and brakes are insane... More like a fwd porsche 911 than a Mini.

Helloooo, I loved the video. The new Toyota Yaris is great 💯 beautiful 💕 greetings from Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
The Mini sounded better in my opinion but I’d buy the Yaris out of the two.
Why not the yaris. Vs the audi s1???
A wise man once said: It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning's winning.
Not a wise man at all, because in reality the difference would be 63359 inches.

From what I remember that man was pretty DOM
@@brulaapgaapmeester8234 how did you come to such a specific number 😂
Always have to make sure “you have your car” as well.
The video I've been waiting for
I had a 2019 Mini Cooper S dct and it's a fantastic gearbox but I do like that Yaris though !
Matt: "I've smashed him". Mini:"Hold my pint".
Well, since Mini is owned by BMW, it would be more like "Hold my Maas"
Dont spoil
ua-cam.com/video/pq-Qs-n6Vek/v-deo.html :)
I wonder what the Mini would be like if it too got 4WD like the GR and the Mini Clubman?
these races can be so biased :D you can pick a winner even before the race starts. money speaks :D
I thought it was going to be close but that Mini is in a different league.
Automatic gearboxes likely save half a second for every gear.
Hardly in a different league considering it has nearly 50 more horsepower and didn't even beat the Yaris by much, and the Yaris has a manual box too!
you can hear the tyres slipping almost the entire time as well
@@joshjack6127 what do you mean it didn't beat the Yaris by much? Did you see how much faster it was travelling at the 1/4 mile mark? It only seemed close because it was wet and the Mini couldn't launch as well. In reality, the Mini is way, way faster.
@@mrnicktoyou The only reason the Mini even pulled out a lead on the GR is because of its gearbox. Mightily impressed with the Yaris considering its 45 bhp deficit
I was in love with this car when it won the wrc, now that they made a production model I REALLY want one
AWD is good for standing starts but for real world driving where you're likely to be accelerating once moving, they're more of a hindrance with their extra weight and additional power loss through drive train. (Add that to the additional bhp of the mini equals a fairly predictable result)
“I’ve smashed him” - Mat Watson 2021, RIP 🪦
Every 1/4 mile racer knows that you never say "I smashed him" on the 1/8 mile. 😂
Everything about gt yaris makes me watch it, I love it 😉
You know it GR (Gazoo Racing) 😉
Me too I want to see it go rallying 😁
@@danieljakobsen1289 you read my mind 😉
@@mrtoppistonhead Yaris is so cute idk why 😁
@@user-od7dv3il8q cuteness with brutality
hu
I Would like to see a drag race against the Mini GP and the Golf R
That Mini GP is serious performance for your buck.
If that mini had 4WD it would be insane!
Then it would be just like a M135i.
In the rolling race it would be a bit worse tho
Be heavier tho
The heavier mechanism would make it slower and less maneuverable. They might have carefully thought about that
ua-cam.com/video/pq-Qs-n6Vek/v-deo.html :)
Finally a drag race everyone wanted to see!
Always... Great drag race videos 👌... Please can I see a drag race with all the Audi RS6 versions (station wagons only) please (all the generations of RS6)..
Love the drag races Mat. Maybe it's time to do a hot lap for each as well. Especially for something like the Mini GP vs the GR Yaris, I think the Yaris would paste the Mini.
You know Minis kill on track why would you say that bro smh
@@brandonpollard8928 , well that's why I'd like to see them on track. I'm happy to be wrong. Power to weight the Yaris has it, but I know a lot comes into play beside just weight.
@@ailmajcen your right I would love to see it As well.. hear that Matt lol
@@ailmajcen you are already wrong, mini is 25kg less than yaris 😁
My Brother used to have a Hartgemini Cooper S mapped which would destroy any small hatch such as Golf GTI’s etc as they have one of the best chassis on the market especially round corners . Obviously a R on a straight no but around corners even the Cooper S is still one of the best small cars especially if to take off the horrible run flats which ruin the ride quality. Yaris does look really good though to be fair & great value for money .
You guys need to add a Handling test with some kind of figure eight time or something.
If so the Yaris will win over and over.
@@missakaiddamalgoda1879 mini gp is pretty quicker on track than Yaris, so it will win the handling test.
@@enricocolombo minis have the best handling of really any hatchbacks so
GR will handle better than the Mini
This was the reason a 3cyl was used in the Yaris, less weight on the nose. I’m sure the Mini would do well, but not as good as the Yaris. And if you throw loose gravel or dirt into the mix, there’s be no comparison.
I can't believe how wide the Toyota has become .. Respect Japan 🇯🇵
illegal to be wide in japan
@@shad0w275 not illegal but crazy af
Mat Watson is jackpot for this channel,dude is funny and natural on camera 👍 Yaris Gr is amazing car 😍 cheers from Croatia 👋
When Matt shifts ,you know the car hes driving will loose 100%
Yeah 🤣😂
Facts
i dont know why he would start the race in 6th. if youre on the highway and youre going to do a quick race, you'll downshift before you both go...
So true they need professional drivers that know how to drive and show the cars full potential
Wait, what exactly is coming loose?
5:48 transmission went bruh....
XDDD
That Mini GP has an Eventuri intake fitted so not sure this is a fair race? Would have been interesting racing against a completely stock GP. 🤔
@@twinturbospool4472 intakes dont do shit lmao it only adds about 5 hp i have one on my cooper s and it barely does anything lmao dont wine
@@turbos7780 oh, intresting. What year is ur mini? I have a 08 clubman s and was thinking about it
@@jayriverside9547 go check my youtube video its a 2019 i also added a dinan exhaust on it
Brings a whole new meaning to firing on all '3' cylinders!
When comparing two vehicles, we take as a reference two vehicles with the same displacement, power and above all both automatic or manual gearboxes.
I feel that my English listening ability has improved to watch this channel.
If you can understand a Brummie then you can understand anyone! Except perhaps people from Glasgow, but I don't think even they know what they're saying half the time...
Brummie = person from Birmingham, in case you didn't already know. The rest of us in the UK love mocking their accent ☺
@@ApothecaryTerry I love his accent
@@ApothecaryTerry scouse accent is much worse 🤢
@@hastytarsier6270 I lived in Birmingham for a few years, got nothing against it at all- but I still like taking the piss ☺
" Has improved watching this channel" :))...Good luck with your English mate.
Painfully slow gear changes Matt!
I wonder if a professional racer could change gears quicker ? or is that not a thing?
@@BilalHussain-gc2sf Yeah that what i will want to see. It would be great if they bring pro racer and truly show how quicker is automatic gearbox.
@Foto4Max the mini appears to have alibaba intelligence
@@bleyz3557 some like STIG ? !
@@bleyz3557 only in drag races
In terms of performance, both models are excellent. Still, the victory is mini. What's more important to me is that the Mini has a much better design.
A vertical view with a drone should give a nice result.
It doesn't matter it was a great race :) Thank you
Mat, you change gears slower than my grandmother
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

can u please mention trap speeds at the end of the drag race i feel like everyone's been asking that for ages and all it really needs is a simple edit since u have a GoPro already pointing towards the speedo
Y r u typing in txt speke?
yeah i think that too, the mini must've been going atleast 20-30mph faster
@@martingetliffe ?
@@WhinedUp2004 lol no way it trap speed can be that much higher for the mini. More like 5-7 mph
@@ahemgee9542 lmao definitely not 5-7 mph. That mini was pulling hard asf after it got going.
Would be great to see a mini all4 vs the gr comparison, both awd and alot similar comparison
Would still pick the Yaris just because manual and AWD. Those 2 are a great combination
3:58 Nooooooooooo Monicaaaaa!!!!!!
The drag race ive been waiting!!
And its wet🙃FWD
this GP is so so fast🤯
Think When It Will Be 4WD
Great vid but would like to see footage from inside the Mini 👍🏾

@@melondog82 No it's not mate. Irony maybe.
The Yaris thanked it’s blessed stars for a second place on a wet day.
😂
Smoked him Matt.
I know it's bad in terms of wear, but that ''DGAF'' sound manuals make when you change gears while flooring it is very satisfying.
Can't we have a running race between Matt & Yianni please carwow....🤗♥️
Also in comfort and sporty settings while they jogging
Got to say I like both the Yaris GR and Mini GP
Even if you beat the hack out of the Yaris GR, it would last 4X as much as the MINI GP.
@Connor Orrino You obviously haven't owned a Toyota that last over 400000 miles without major tune-ups.
@@mr2cqql yo have no clue about current mini's reliability and spouting age old traits of older generations; key indicator of someone who has no clue what he's talking about. And no what I've ust said isn't talking down on Toyota's reliability relatively.
I love all Mat videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Honestly the mini gp looks abseloutely beautiful
I feel like competing a manual vs an automatic car is quite unfair👀
In some ways it is fair since the Mini is FWD so it has that off the line disadvantage
Also FWD and AWD
Agreed. The Automatic will almost always win. Out of the two I'd choose the Yaris though, much better looking and Toyota reliability.
But the Toyota is AWD while the Mini is FWD....🤷🏼♂️ That kinda made up for it, especially when you consider that it was a wet track! Nothing unfair about this drag race, just another nice Video to watch. Gotta love these two pocket rockets, especially the GR Yaris ^^
Well Minifuck had more power, so.
I wish Toyota would bring the Yaris GR to the US. On second thought with everything going on here, maybe I want to go over there.
😂
Be good to try the Yaris against the JCW Clubman as well, same engine but with the all 4 drive 👍
Love both of these wee rockets, but credit where its due, that engine and Yaris !! Done good !
5:49 I felt the pain in my soul and it's one of the things I'll think of on my death bed

Thanks for the video. Dunno what tyres were on the Mini GP but still assuming: The Yaris winning the braketest mainly thanks to the Michelin PS4S imho. Cheers Robin
Love to see the new countryman mini with the 306 HP and AWD vs the Yaris
GR Yaris is literally dictionary definition of fun!! Can’t wait to pick one up second had at some point!
Their price is going to go up up up⬆️
Both looks great 🔥
If the track was dry. The Yaris wouldn't have a chance.
not sure about that since it had the edge of being 4wd, but still lost, so the mini would probably end up pulling away quicker
Funny how you started taping the GoPro HERO7 logo :)
Matt always chooses the car he thinks will win. So I love it when he gets it wrong and looses 🤣😂 He gets so disappointed and then looks for excuses 😂🤣
Yes
great fake scenario youve made in your head. he chose the yaris because he loves it and he owns one himself lol idk where your imagination has taken your thoughts

@@ImOothman who are you? His number one fan? 😂😂😂
I wasn't being offensive to him, I watch and like most of his videos. But because I have watched so many, I have seen a pattern in them. So I made a comment having a bit of banter with him.

@@Mr1Tanker lmaoooo
7:08 says it all. Yaris all day. It’s hard to convey how much more satisfying it is to drive a manual than to win drags and rolling races. But it is 👍
automatics are just road legal go karts :D
Love my gr yaris and love mini’s but so much more planted to the road with a gr yaris
Mini comes in a manual.
That played out the exact opposite of what I expected
Wait a minute Matthew! That Mini GP is tuned and has an Eventuri intake system which can be seen at 6:58, no wonder it destroys the Yaris..
Hahahaha sorry but the Yaris will never have a chance vs. the GP 😉
hope to see the new golf r vs the mini gp in the future
This is one cool looking Yaris 😍
Would be interesting to see this again, though with the litchfield yaris.
If the mini was four wheel drive it would be my dream car
Clubman JCW 👌
jcw clubman as someone mentioned exists, but obviously no where near as fun to drive, conversion as someone said is probably too expensive, the only thing that is likely, that has the huge drawback of being silent and lifeless, will be the new electric gp3 that is coming out, probably going to awd.
@@majorityof1 You're talking like that's a weekend project 😂
I own a Mini R60 all4 JCW I'd rather the GR (JCW owner for 4.5 years) Great cars dont get me wrong , lovely interior etc but a PITA to own.
@@majorityof1 not that easy, the hatch and the clubman have a totally different chassis
both of them is so cool I can't decide!

I’ve got a GP2 and I love it
@Mat Watson Cars, Wouldn't a regular mini cooper S with the b48 engine around 250hp be a better match to the GR Yaris?
A tune on the GR Yaris would be NICE
No, the car wasn’t made for drag racing
@@broshido2745 Yes you are right. GR Yaris can go on snow , gravel , and hard wet too.
btw... HSK tuned GR Yaris over 400hp now. wth
Well done Carwow just proving the mini GP 3 not perfect but very quick , just imagine the time difference if it was dry i’m looking forward to an unbiased track battle
It’s perfect… it smoked the “better the Yaris” .😂
Funny, this is the first time I've seen this comparison but it makes sense
This little Mini look like a serious car versus tiny Yaris 😂 both cars are great!
Yanni vs Mat's Mom drag race !!
Mat: so before we get on with the race let’s just do a quick sound test
UA-cam advertise: *Am I a joke to you?*
Its pretty neat that these cars are as fast as my 98 and 99 mustang Cobras.
Wish we would of gotten that GR Yaris in the states. Great little car!
You could be getting a corolla variant with that engine but it's a rumor
I don't think that there's a market for $50k hatchback
Love the old skool dials in the yaris 👌🏼 refreshing to see analog shit these days man
