Christian von Koenigsegg drives a Toyota GR Yaris

Swedish company Koenigsegg Automotive AB is known for producing some of the most powerful and fastest cars in the world. However, the company’s owner recently came to work in a car from another manufacturer, the Toyota GR Yaris. It is also a powerful car, but not even close to what Koenigsegg offers.

In a video posted on social media, Christian von Koenigsegg said: “Three-cylinder madness in the morning”, showing the car he drives to work every day.

Christian von Koenigsegg has been using Japanese cars since he was a student. Back then, he drove a Mazda MX-5, which he sold after his studies, but six years ago he managed to find this car and return it to his ownership.

The GR Yaris is powered by a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 261 hp (192 kW) and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h).
