I Drag Raced the SMALLEST Cars in the World!

We’ve got our hands on five Japanese Kei cars, and these micro machines are about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to see which is quickest!
Lining up we have a Daihatsu Copen, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Alto Works, Suzuki Cappuccino and a Mitsubishi Minica Dangan!
For those not in the know, Kei cars (known by many as Japanese city cars or Japanese microcars) are the smallest road-legal cars with restricted dimensions and engine capacity. As a result, all five cars come with a 660cc 3-cylinder turbo engine, and they all produce 64hp!
The torque & weight figures do vary slightly, though. For example, the Copen has the most torque, at 108Nm, while the Mitsubishi only has 75Nm!
You know what time it is… LET’S RACE!

Correction: kei cars are not legally limited in horsepower, only in displacement. The 64hp is merely a sort of gentlemen's agreement that none of the manufacturers really stuck to anyway
-
Yianni’s face when he heard the turbo noises his car makes is priceless 😂
-
I love how the Kei cars sound like you're going a million miles per hour from the inside, but then cut to outside and you're going as fast as a snail 🤣 love Kei cars, excitement for a fraction of the speed 😎👌
-
This was one of the most interesting and entertaining drag races lol
-
Race that nobody asked for , but we all enjoyed , you guys always nail it.
-
Honestly, car companies should make more cars like this, low weight, tiny engines but make them look like older super/rally cars...perfect starter cars, money savers..and a bit of a laugh to drive. haha
-
The audible gasp from Yianni when he revs his car. Pure Bliss that man experienced,
-
I'm rather shocked how good they sound. Changed my mind on smaller cars for sure!
-
These races have become a no miss part of my Saturday mornings.
-
I love the Autozam. It's always been such a unique little race car.
-
I've always had a soft spot for these little kei cars. Especially the AZ-1. It's such a head turner and looks like such a giggle to drive.
-
This reminds me of the “10 second” quarter mile races in fast and furious 😂 this video was a lot of fun to watch
-
"..... My red one won, followed by Sam's red one, followed by Daniel's ....." 😂😂 I'm still laughing. These guys know how to entertain us.
-
The Copen suddenly being able to hit 100mph was absolutely hilarious; of course it would be on the braking test 😂
-
Nevermind the exhaust sound, the engines in the Autozam and Copen sound brilliant.
-
Yianni's reaction to that mini stutututu is just crazy
-
I love these races that aren't with exciting cars but Carwow team makes it so cool
-
Happy to see Yanni always joining in these funky and exciting drag races. You two are an awesome duo to watch. Never fail to make a joke in any videos done together.

Looks more funny than other modern more expensive cars. It was such a pleasure watching this ! I have 2 old Suzuki Ignis and I felt It was similar to my daily experience .
