New Golf 8 R vs Toyota GR Yaris! Hot lap shootout…which is faster?

2022年10月14日

In this video, the new Volkswagen Golf 8 R takes on the Toyota GR Yaris in a hot lap shoot out around Aldo Scribante Race Circuit.

It’s safe to say that the GR Yaris changed perceptions of just how fast and how much fun a Toyota could be.

We were grateful to get an early test of the of the GR Yaris last year and our in-house race-ace Ashley Oldfield set a hot lap time in that car, against the Golf 8 GTI.

This year, we had an early test of the Golf 8 R on the same racetrack and with identical conditions, we thought we would do the same in the new Golf R and compare the two times.

So…which is faster, the new Golf 8 R or the GR Yaris? Only one way to find out!
