Care to guess who wins?

There’s nothing more rewarding that watching a proper drag race between two horsepower-packed cars. Yet again, the lightweight league of the car world can still throw a punch.

Case in point: the VW Up GTI, a car that’s been praised by reviewers and car journos alike, meets the zippy Suzuki Swift Sport. What? What’s the point, you’re asking? Well, that’d be fun, a view also shared by the guys over at Top Gear.

Yes, they look more like docile pets and their engines aren’t oozing oomph, yet a fight is still a fight.

As a quick reminder, the Up GTI makes 113 hp and 200 Nm of twist, while the Swift Sport packs 138 hp and 230 Nm of torque.

Now’s a good time to lay your bets.
