Toyota’s brilliant GR Yaris has already proven to be well-equipped for racetracks and rallies, and the obvious ease in different settings extends to one of the most difficult and specific situations: the elk test.
The famous moose test, a high-speed vehicle that moves out of the way of an oncoming threat and returns to the original lane of a driver, is designed to test the stability and high-speed books of a car in a relatively common emergency. A safe car will pass the test without losing control or rolling over; a sharp car will pass without losing its composure.
KM77.com regularly drives performance cars through the moose test. A few months back they were able to get the GR Supra through the test at 48 km per hour (which converts to the title 77 km / h) after some trials and errors. It was a car built from the ground up, and the 48km / h beam cleaning still did some serious exercise for the driver.
The GR Yaris, which tested the group earlier this month, passed the test at 50 km / h. More impressively, it did so while being perfectly calm. Their driver still made several attempts, and their first run of 48 km / h failed, but eventually they became comfortable enough with the car to be able to run a little faster and still be within a defeated cone of successful finishing. come.
The difference in speed may not seem impressive, but the ability for a car like the GR Yaris, based on a subcompact commuter, to remain so stable in such extreme conditions is rare. Unfortunately, it will be even rarer in the US, where Toyota apparently has no future plan for the GR Yaris yet. It may be more exciting than the new Supra, but American drivers will not soon be getting their hands on Toyota’s homologation special.
