It’s time to see if these a Suzuki Jimny can take down an 80s legend - the Peugeot 205 GTI!

However, this isn’t just a simple Jimny v 205 GTI drag race. You see, along with Mat’s own Jimny, we have also been lent Twisted Automotive’s turbocharged Jimny!

So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the regular Jimny, it’s powered by a 1.5-litre 4 cylinder engine that can produce 101hp and 130Nm of torque. It weighs in at 1,035kg, it’s equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and when new it cost around £20,000. In this instance, we’ll be using rear wheel drive only.

Alongside it we have the Twisted Jimny. It has the same 1.5-litre 4 cylinder as the stock Jimny, but thanks to the addition of the turbo, it can produce 165hp and 195Nm! However that’s not all that’s changed - there are a number of other upgrades including a lift kit, uprated suspension and uprated dampers. What’s more, the interior that now comes plastered in leather and Alcantara to make it feel like a mini G63! But all of these upgrades come at a cost, with this particular Jimny rolling up with a £60,000 price tag!!

Then finally we have the mini hot hatch hero, the Peugeot 205 GTI. It’s packing a 1.9-litre turbo that can deliver 122hp and 161Nm. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 5 speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at just 860kg. In 2023, this car’s valued at around £25,000.

So will the turbocharged Jimny snatch the win? Or could the 80s legend clinch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
