WE pitched the five hot hatchbacks from Issue 66 of Car Dealer against each other in a head-to-head drag race at Rockingham Speedway.
Keen to find out why the hot hatch is back with a bang, we lined-up our contenders on the start line to see which one should wear the crown.
As the Mini GP, Peugeot 208 GTi, Nissan Juke Nismo, Ford Fiesta ST and the Citroen DS3 Racing screeched away from the line there was nothing between them, but a clear winner eventually emerged.
To find out which one crossed the line first and who took the runner-up spot, watch our Car Dealer video below.
