It’s drag race time!
Mat’s lining up in the latest VW Golf R, and he’s going head-to-head against a BMW M240i & a Honda Civic Type R!
Does the Golf R stand a chance? Let’s check out the stats! It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder which is good for 320hp & 420Nm of torque. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, and it tips the scales at 1,550kg.
The Civic Type R also has a 2-litre 4 cylinder under the bonnet, and its power is almost identical to the Golf, producing 320hp & 400Nm. However, not only is it only front-wheel drive, but it’s also a manual! But at least it’s the lightest car here, at 1,395kg.
Then we have the BMW. It’s housing a 3-litre straight-six engine that can produce 374hp & 500Nm. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, but it’s the heaviest car here, at 1,690kg!
So how will it play out - will the BMW’s weight prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

I'd much rather pay the extra 3 grand for the 240i and have a six cylinder engine than the golf R

[@paulkennard5993]

Yep - and I'd look closely at the residuals for the R too. I bought an AMG A45 in 2016 as it was only about £75 more per month than a R due to a far better MGFV as the lease companies were not going to be deluged by them 3 years hence. The Golf also felt like it needed to be thrashed to come alive, whilst I could enjoy the 45 in Sport+/Race mode everywhere and in Comfort my wife could just pootle in it. This time I went for the M240i XDrive as the Golf seemed too dear, the 45S a bit 'bling' and although I thought the M3 Comp was awesome when I drove it, I just couldn't see, day to day, where my extra £30k would have gone for 95% of the time. Mind you, ordered in January and no clue when it'll turn up...

[@leccybadger]

I bought an M240i and never even considered the VW as an alternative...why have 4 cylinders when 6 is so much better and smoother. The performance is staggering when you want it, the car trundles around happily and quietly when you don't and is a very lovely, quiet and comfy place to sit in. One very, very happy owner indeed. 👍🏻😁😁🥳

Those German cars are tailor made for that kind of crappy stuff. Not to mention launching places tremendous stress and strain on the clutch and box to handle that kind of power and torque.

I agree with you. Totally predictable outcome. However the cars in this video aren't all about quarter mile times. They're not drag strip monsters. Especially in the UK! They're about balance and handling. They're about feel and driving skill. Its about the thrill of driving. The feeling you get from a quality car that performs well on that empty stretch of B road, when you're in the mood and everything is just right. That's the point of these cars. Drag racing cars with vastly different power outputs and power delivery is pointless and erm... missing the point.

Insane Performance for a Golf

[@SilverCider]

Fancy adding a slalom test into the mix to shake things up a little? A little rudimentary but it could add an element of handling to the tests as well as confuse matters more in the argument about car weight vs. expected performance.

[@williambellisIII]

Maybe add a short slalom to some of these videos. Have a bit of a handling dynamic. Just some orange cones and a stop watch. You could start from a slow roll.

@@Kumar-bg6nr you'll be surprised man, the FK8 type R can move through corners. Now compared to the other 2 cars that have AWD yes there a bit quicker in fast corners but in low or mid speed corners it's the type R. Lap time wouldve been close between the bmw an the type R but the type r would be ahead if they were on a track. Not that many people who own type Rs know that an by so they ruin them by slamming it, crazy clambering them by so many ways an race muscle cars not knowing the reason why the always loose. Lmao
