In this thrilling carwow showdown, we witness a battle between two Japanese titans on the drag strip. The Nissan GTR Nismo, a powerhouse with 600 horsepower, goes head-to-head with a tuned Toyota GR Yaris boasting the same power. The GTR's twin-turbo V6 engine growls menacingly, setting the stage for an epic clash. On the other side, the Yaris, typically equipped with a 3-cylinder engine, has been beefed up to pack a serious punch.

As the race commences, both cars struggle for traction, with the Yaris initially surging ahead before encountering gear change woes.

Moving on to a brake test, the Yaris surprises with its impressive stopping power, showcasing resilience despite its challenges.
