Golf 8 R vs. GTI Clubsport vs. GTI | 0-100 & 100-200 km/h acceleration🏁 | by Automann

Which is faster on the Autobahn 100-200 km/h? The Golf 8 R or the all-new GTI Clubsport with 300 hp. Yes, the R has more power (320hp) but the GTI CS only 2WD and less weight. And we also want to see how big that difference is between a regular Mk8 GTI and the GTI CS. But please watch yourself and tell me your thoughts? Please make sure to also follow all our stuff about these cars on instagram! #GTI #Clubsport #GolfR

GTI ClubSport is the sweetspot

[@tredfxman]

Tune it to Stage 2 and u shud be pushin bout 400 hp. I only went Stage 1 with my CS MK7 though for relability headroom... 👍

[@FamousDMagnificent]

@@tredfxman How’s the wheelspin?

[@tredfxman]

@@FamousDMagnificent Well as its winter & snow here in sweden its no optimal time for racing. Apart from that abit of wheelspin now and then can acually be fun! But im gona be honest and say i dont dare to push it to max in slippery winter conditions anyway. Once you get grip though, the rocket set of into the horizon! 👍

[@FamousDMagnificent]

@@tredfxman I’m seriously considering the GTI CS, but I’m not sure because of the wheelspin and the day to day usability. But if you say that it’s not that bad in Sweden I shouldn’t have issues here in Croatia.

You could also check the difference in active safety of these cars. You could perform a 100-0 km/h brake test, to see the difference in the braking performance of the same model with different horsepowers.

The Clubsport has much better gear ratios as well! The normal GTI just shifts out of it's powerband everytime, damn economy gears.

For the NA market, the price between R and Clubsport probably will never be that close. Clubsport is absolutely sweet for daily driving.

The R is such a good value if you are already at the clubsport level. The AWD gets you better launches and helps with traction. Best value is getting a GTI and using a JB4 to get to the Cs HP, you wouldn't even need to add anything else.

So basically the clubsport is VW’s strategy to ask more for what the gti should’ve been.

[@johnnynebunu8506]

You're totally right. What I don't like is that VW didn't put a Limited Slip Differential on the golf 8 gti clubsport

[@SuperLisandro86]

I don´t think so. The GTI has always been like this, a fast car for everyday use with a slightly sportier exterior design that won´t make a 40 year old guy question to buy it or not because of how it looks (...Civic...) The Clubsport is a version of the GTI for those who like extra performance and a more agressive looks that wouldn´t appeal to everyone if it was the only version on sale. But we can of course discuss the pricing, I think VW just ask for a premium price tag just becasue it is a Golf, so both cars should be cheaper. Especially in this mk8 version, which has a downgraded quality interior.

[@bokiNYC]

@@johnnynebunu8506 Wait, they didn't even install their clutch based locking differential, the VAQ? That'd be crazy. I mean I know that the VAQ is not a complete mechanical LSD (like Quaife or Wavetrac) like they should have installed but it's better than having an open diff, no?

When you're used to your manual GTI it's so weird weird watching an automatic where you just sit there doing absolutely nothing while accelerating

[@achiebenas5286]

Welcome in 2022 bro Skip that manual

[@garyfrench6536]

I've just noticed that the R was on bost far earlier than the Clubsport from initial acceleration. I'd like to see this done again with cruise control set at 100kph for accuracy purposes.

[@Ohlukei]

I agree. starting anywhere below 100 kph to go over the 100 kph mark up to the 200 kph does not tell anything precisely. How to reproduce this maybe for comparison reasons if you don't have a specific starting speed? Driving a constant 100 kph and then start accelerating is the way to go!

[@maximillioni]

Love you analises and comparisons! Keep going! Golf CS seems better deal for me. 5k euro is not a small difference. 4x4 is no always the way to go so no extra points in my book for it.
