The rolling race in 3rd was interesting as it looks like VW has addressed the previous gen whispers that the Cupra 290/300 was quicker than the R once rolling. I suspect even Matt was expecting a similar outcome. There's no denying that the MK 8 R is a very quick car 👍

​@@fachadolid3030 "Cupra Racing, formerly known as SEAT Sport, is the high-performance motorsport subsidiary of the Spanish automobile manufacturer SEAT", Cupra is Seat. Except from the exterior software and 4WD, both cars are identical. In fact, even at 80km/h you will get a wheel spin in a 300hp Cupra, the 4WD on the Golf R does the trick and it probably has the same thing as audi Qautro ultra, which is the ability to disengage the rear axle completely, so then you have 320HP FWD vs 300HP FWD....

had both of them and the Scirocco is a much nicer place to be, it's a higher quality and all round more refined package and it puts the power down with a lot less fuss than the cupra does with the same power. the Rocco works even better with the wavetrac lsd fitted and it's a more engaging drive than the golf R equivalent

I wouldn't expect the AWD drivetrain losses to be all that significant for the R once it's up and rolling. The Haldex system only sends (up to 50%) torque to the rear axle when it's actually required, and above 30mph on a dry track it's likely not required so the system will be essentially operating as FWD with the Haldex clutch open anyway. There will be additional rolling resistance from the rear driveshafts/diff etc, but that should be more than compensated for by the extra power. The only other significant variance is weight.

If VAG did that there'd b no advantage to the R which is the flagship. I've got the Cupra and the deciding factor was money. I test drove both and in most real world situations I couldn't feel much difference but the Cupra cost a lot less and deals are out there. The R is a very sterile driving experience too. Better in every way except excitement. I like a hot hatch to feel a bit 'dangerous'. Like if you mess up it'll punt you off into a field. That's part of what made all the old school hot hatches feel so exciting to drive. The R is almost too good, too easy to drive, too capable and not mad enough despite it being very quick.

Agreed is predictable, VW always sandbag the Cupras (/Seats) but useful to see nonetheless. Would be interesting to see with mods that bring it almost up to price of Golf R if you could make the Cupra faster (remaps, stage 1 etc)

Would avoid the cupra at the mo. Had one since June. Lovely car, but infotainment is a mess. Regularly doesn’t work, which is a big problem, as everything is on it inc climate control. Literally crashes and doesn’t come on again. Heard it is a big issue with other VW group cars as well at the mo.

Hey Matt. One thing that I would like to see is a rolling race from 20mph to say 70mph. Most of the people are going to be doing that kind of driving. E.G. coming off of a roundabout and then joining the motaway/dual carriage way. Seeing how fast it takes would be a good metric when comparing against other cars :D Thanks again for the awesome episode. Would love to see more from that Cupra Leon!!!
