Toyota Yaris and BMW M2 fought in the race (VIDEO)

Automobile YouTube channel Archie Hamilton Racing showed a video of the race of Toyota GR Yaris sports hatchback and "hot" coupe BMW M2 Competition.

Autoevolution writes that the race took place in bad weather conditions, as the runway's asphalt was wet.

The Toyota GR Yaris has a 1.6-liter supercharged V3 with 260 "horses" and 360 Nm. The engine functions with a 6-speed "manual." Additionally, the car received an all-wheel-drive system and one Torsen differential for each axle. The hatchback gains the first 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds at a top speed of 230 km/h.

The BMW M2 Competition sports coupe has a 3.0-liter V6 engine with 410 hp. The engine works with a 7-speed automatic transmission with a 2-clutch.

The first race ended with the victory of Toyota GR Yaris. In the second race, the BMW M2 had traction control (anti-skid system) activated, but the GR Yaris still won. Only in the third race did the M2 win by starting on the move.
