This is how to drift a hot hatch.
The Toyota GR Yaris is equipped with one of the most powerful three-cylinder engines ever built in the automotive industry. It is more than a powerful engine, however. The hot hatch has many performance improvements over the standard Yaris. It actually combines Toyota’s GAB and GA-C platforms. This is an uncommon phenomenon in the industry.
The performance hatch was designed to homologate WRC’s race car. It is among the most capable small cars currently on the market. It’s unfortunately not available in the United States, but customers from Europe and certain Asian countries can get a similar experience with a production vehicle.
Toyota has made a lot of noise about the coolness of this hot hatch. There were a few ads that it released for the various regions where the car is sold. Some of these ads were provocative. A new video promo for Japan features the GR Yaris on snowy terrain.
This is not just an advertisement for the performance hatch. Our Japanese isn’t good so we can’t give you exact translations. However, this video is more of an educational lesson on how to properly drive the GR Yaris on the snow than just an advertisement. You can learn most of the guidance from watching the pilot, and following his movements.
These maneuvers should only be done on closed roads. However, there are other exercises that GY Yaris drivers can do on public roads .
