In this thrilling Car Throttle showdown, the team pits a fresh-off-the-line Toyota GR Yaris against a pre-loved model souped up with a hefty $20k worth of modifications. Ben, the discerning expert from a previous episode, meticulously inspects the new Yaris, noting its lower seats, revamped dash, and snazzy 8-speed automatic gearbox. On the other hand, the modified Yaris boasts enhancements like top-tier suspension, sticky tires, and racing seats, transforming it into a track-ready beast.
The competition kicks off with a high-octane drag race, where the automatic transmission of the new Yaris propels it to victory. Moving on to the drift challenge, the modified Yaris showcases superior performance, impressing with its agility and control around the corners. As the day culminates in a timed hot lap, the automatic Yaris sets the initial benchmark, only to be outshone by the modified version, which blazes through the track over a second quicker.
Swapping cars for a final lap, the modified Yaris once again demonstrates its prowess, leaving no doubt about the impact of the extensive modifications on its performance. The team's exhilarating experiment conclusively proves that investing in aftermarket upgrades can truly elevate a car's capabilities on the road and the track.
