2 жыл бұрынYes, the brand new series of Top Gear returns on 14th November to BBC One. So, to celebrate, here's a snippet of one of our favourite films from the last series. It's Chris Harris. It's the Toyota GR Yaris. It's some of the greatest homologation specials of all time. And naturally, it's sideways...

03:33 Here's a fun tidbit. Chris mentions the EVO that Tommi Mäkinen "dominated the sport in". Same Tommi Mäkinen was the chief of the Toyota rally team during 2017 to 2020 before moving on to being a motorsports advisor for Toyota. He led the Toyota rally team to victory in 2018. He actively participated in developing the Yaris GR. I feel like that cements its place in that line up even more.

But he is the biggest name in motoring journalism because of his quality of pulling people in and making you feel this character every car has. Chris can do that as well, it just so happens he has the driving skill to back it up even more. Both are unapologetic in their opinions and will give you the good and the bad of a car in a brutally honest way. But one, that shows the emotions in either category.

I’ve now done 24,000 miles, needs another service and safety check, it’s certainly got much quicker and smoother, I only use super E5, E10 fuel is awful. highest average fuel economy has been 54mpg on the M25 Surrey to Kent with 50mph limits in places, my average overall for the year is 39 mpg, I’ve had it nearly 2 years and still love driving it. It’s a very fast road car simply because of the grip and weight, other hugely powerful cars always back off at any bend or roundabout but this car attacks. I’ve just driven my sons brand new 70k vorsprung RS3 which is rapid and is so much more luxurious but it doesn’t have the driving experience of a homolgation GR especially the steering suspension and road feel and he agrees, the RS3 is lovely, numb but with a great engine. GR has not had one single issue totally reliable, How the hell do you replace a GR for the money?

@@markos8400 Yeah, granted Toyota must have been wanted to take the 3cyl engine to competition as well (at WRC2/WRC3 at least), so it's definitely gonna have to be more durable to take all those abuse. There's even an AP4 GR Yaris at Australia made by Neil Bates Motorsport and they're keeping the 3cyl engine. (AP4 is equivalent to R5 Rally cars). If we're talking about tuning then i remember HKS & G-Force also tune their car to reach around 360-400hp and it made the car lapping faster than a Nismo GTR around Tsukuba, all of it with stock internals. HKS did say they wanted to see how far the 3cyl can go before it pop or needing stronger internals.

@@markos8400 yes, you're right, although they brought it back to 280kw until they can upgrade the fuel pump. It ran an easy 10sec quarter mile! Quite amazing, really on an unopened engine, so to speak.

This car, much like the original M2, is one of those instant classics. They are simple, easy to understand, unbelievably exciting… they have been built with a level of love and understanding that seeps through every molecule of bodywork. Not bland numbers, no customer base derived selling points… they are made to be brilliant and invented to be characterful. They are the kind of brilliance we love about all our dream cars, our bedroom wall posters, our heroes. They are - simply put - era defining drivers cars.

Exactly my thoughts he’s also forgetting the Toyota made the LFA supra MK four MR two turbo in about 20 other fun vehicles I do not understand why people like to forget and act like Toyota don’t know what they’re doing. Toyota is very conservative most of the time but when they are ready to dominate they dominate

What a review. Harris knows his stuff and sure can drive. Even more reason to ask ,where was the Celica ST185 GT4, the car that knocked the Lancia Integrale off its perch? I owned the Carlos Sainz road version (what a car) and eventually sold it to someone who wanted it to replace his Integrale. And I know it was banned from WRC but the ST205 Celica was the stuff of legend. Where was it?
