New Golf 8.5 GTI vs Shark Drag Race! Bakkie vs hot-hatch? Standing + Rolling starts

An interesting battle is on our hands as the brilliant all-rounder Volkswagen Golf GTI hot hatchback takes on the mighty BYD Shark double-cab bakkie. This vehicle has shaken the market by storm, offering a sharp interior, futuristic powertrain and ballistic performance. Ciro de Siena is behind the wheel of the latest iteration of the GTI, boasting more power and quicker acceleration. Dave Taylor is the launch control specialist and has the responsibility of taming the Shark. However, no-one knows their car quite like the owner and Joubert Walters took the reins for the in-gear rolling run. Who wins, legacy or upstart?
