An 800HP Toyota GR Yaris with a 1.6L three-cylinder engine takes on an 850HP Nissan R35 GT-R Nismo in a battle between two very different Japanese performance machines. With four-wheel drive on both sides, the Yaris brings a sequential gearbox and a serious power-to-weight advantage, while the GT-R relies on its twin-turbo V6 and dual-clutch transmission. The solo quarter-mile times suggest there is very little separating these unlikely rivals.

The competition moves from standing-start drag races to rolling races, with launch timing, clutch adjustments and split-second decisions playing a major role. The tiny three-cylinder hatchback proves it can challenge a legendary supercar, but the GT-R has its own answer when the cars are already moving. Which setup would come out on top?
