Who doesn’t love a petrol vs electric drag race?!
We’ve got Mat in the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S and he’s lining up against a Tesla Model 3 Performance!
Now on the face of it, you might think it’ll be an easy walkover for the Tesla. But trust us, this is going to be much closer than you think. You see, the 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine in the CLA has had a Stage 1 tune, and as a result, it now puts down 490hp & 660Nm of torque!
As for the Tesla, it’s powered by two electric motors. Combined, they produce exactly the same output as the tuned CLA - 490hp & 660Nm!
So what do you think - does the Mercedes stand a chance against the instant power output from the Tesla? Well, there’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Being able to instantly adjust the torque with electric motors means EVs can have crazy effective traction control systems. Braking is an interesting one, the AMG should really have won that so I'd guess tyres plus we've seen in previous videos that Mat's side of that runway does hold water more so is less grippy. The Tesla is undoubtedly impressive regardless of that though.

@@mortenkrogh8599 Honestly I'm not a fan of the current obsession the world seems to have with acceleration times. My current and previous cars both have 0-60 times either side of 5s and even that isn't necessary at all. The Plaid drivetrain is impressive of course, but outside of KZbin, the long range drivetrain is a better choice almost universally and easily fast enough. At that level, other attributes of the car are far more important.

[@johannel8104]

The biggest surprise was the brake test. Hopefully the next M3P will also have carbon-wrapped rotors. The need to maintain power at higher speeds to be competitive. However, very few people will ever race over 100 mph on the highway so in all realistic scenarios the Tesla will come out on top.

[@AnToiNiZaBe]

Would be nice to know what tires you're using on each car too, especially in wet conditions. It greatly affects the performances..

[@laser_simon922]

The shit into 7th gear in the fist rolling race, was actually very good. Dual clutch transmitions have one clutch for the even and one for the odd gears, so the shift from any odd to any even gear and vice-versa can be very fast (if the correct gear is pre-selected), if you want to go from even to even or odd to odd the car has to „change“ a gear…

@Alessandro Nesta The CLS is based on the E-Class tho, it is NOT an S-Class. So yes its obviously much better (built quality wise) than the CLA. Ive owned a CLA and i cant reaaaally recommend it. It looks amazing and its pretty fast as of its relatively light weight, however as nice as the Interior looks it is dirt cheap honestly. A lot of crackling plastic noises and the Soundsystem is HORRENDOUS. Looks: 10/10 Built quality: 3/10. Not even close to the level of the E-Class which im currently owning.

@@wolfura Going to Tesla fans to berate them for liking an EV, is like being a Tesla fan and berating someone because they like a gas car. Essentially, you are being that annoying Tesla fan right now, the one you probably really don't like. We don't need to agree on a favorite car bro, drive what you drive, and let Ayush and me drive what we drive.

@UCrpmfirz4_LIr7SApwmd2Og People can like what they want. You dont have to like it but there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Stop being butthurt and go hug mommy.

There are many car reviewers on the internet but it's something about mats personality and how he reviews cars that just makes me so exited to watch every single video he put outs.....if matt got fired from carwow I honestly would stop watching carwow🤣

[@tonyhawk123]

He wouldnt be out of place on Top Gear. It might even make me want to watch it.

[@SergCarReviews]

I think we all would 😂

Can you advice the Audi and BMW that rivals the CLA 45/45S? Or do a drag race of them. I see sometimes that the CLA comes close to the Audi RS5 and BMW M4 competition. I'm just wondering if the CLA can really punch above its weight. The RS3 & M2 seem to be in class of the A45

[@kentokobayashi5434]

@carwow Koenigsegg Drag Race Please....

[@kentogaming1777]

Yes

[@carlover4471]

That will be cool!!!

[@dragongaming6285]

Yes We want that race...

[@kentokobayashi5434]

Yes I want too...

[@kentokobayashi5434]

@Car Lover That will be great race with Remac, And Bugatti

[@pwj9703]

when you think about the price of the two cars and how much equipment you get in a TESLA then it is finally over with the internal combustion engine. 😉👍

[@Ashcurum]

hey can you make a video about the new Mazda BT50 ?

[@albertgomez7216]

Wow AMG CLA 45 very nice car i love it that design

[@danedane6613]

It would be interesting if you showed the state of charge (SoC) of the EV's. High SoC (above 80% or 90%) is quite important for at Tesla to perform at its best. This has been demonstrated several times by the youtuber Tesla Bjørn / Bjørn Nyland.

[@kaleb7045]

but everyone would still rather have the mercedes than the tesla 😂

[@alexanderb.9084]

a big advantage of the electric car, no warming up, no turbo damage, no engine damage....if race with a low SoC, then please also with a cold petrol engine.... Spontaneous races often occur when the engine is still cold.

[@alexwithanx]

@@alexanderb.9084 Cold Petrol engines dont rly perform much worse they just wear out muuuuch quicker when you force them like 7k rpm from a coldstart. Chances that youre killing your Engine are just way too high especially in performance cars.

[@alexanderb.9084]

@@alexwithanx yes i know,that's the Problem with petrol cars.if a spontaneous race, then you should also consider that. another important point,ist the Launch Control in modern Cars: the problem with the launch control, nobody pulls off at a normal traffic light all the to time. it is only to beautify the prospectus indication 0-60 time. The model 3p has no Launch Control,when you put your foot on the pedal, you immediately have power. no turbo lag below 2000rpm-below 2000rpm the cla does not bring more torque than other cheap 2l petrol engines. the price of downsizing.3L V6 turbo is under 2000rpm much better,but thanks to weight-related Co2 classification not wanted,

[@tera9666]

6:30 OMG, you should record races from that angle too.😮😮😮

[@superraja4066]

Do a vid on the plaid

[@hetpeer4053]

You should actually download a revving engine on the tesla horn with the boombox feature
