New VW Golf R vs AMG A45 - DRAG RACE *The Truth!*

Hey guys & girls - we're sorry for the poor audio quality in this video. Unfortunately, Mat's microphone decided to fail! 🤦‍♂️

Hopefully you still enjoy this awesome hot hatch showdown! Which would you choose? Let us know below!

So was the mercedes in track mode with the 4k rpm launch control? Should have been a bit faster.

Nice race

Racing in sport , why not in race mode?

I dont believe the amg was in sport or manual as there was no pop or crackle drom the exhaust when they reved at the start. Dont trust this shit..also the guy who drove merc sucked bad

AMG forever ❤❤🎉

Apesar de eu estar no meu sexto Golf, não esqueço da Mercedes Benz que também é minha favorita.

The price difference is just not worth it. IMO the golf is golden and looks amazing

The bloke driving the Mercedes can't drive....the Merc would tare the golf a new one, with someone who could drive it.

Now put the VW R500 against the Mercedes.

M133 powerfull engine

If you see this comment,reply to it and we’ll come back to it in 2030🎸

I wanna own this 2cars

Mercedes and VW 😂
Mercedes is KING 👑🔥🔥🔥

that mercedes needs a good driver huh

Too expensive !
Too heavy !
I've a Cupra 290 Sub'8 ( 2nd hand 22.000e) stage 1, 365 cv.
OK, "Dragrace" but a road is never straight, you have turns, and Cupra is THE Best for this exercice.
Nevertheless, one could still lighten it up of 150 kg : the "spirit of Lotus" .
do you know where I could have a hood built (with Naca socket) and carbon or aluminum fenders, at your place in England? Or home, in France ?
Thanks !

Fair play for the golf's performance, but that new face lift of this generation is absolutely SHITE

when i look sthg like this, is no emotion. only push acc and look where is car..
Manual gear box tell u how is better, driver and his feel of car makes difference..Start , gear change , make drags trully emotions...

So cheap! that about 50% less than here.

What about the rs3 vs a45s

Per avere 100cv in più, la Mercedes non è che vada tanto più forte...

Vroom

Mat trying to convince him that the merc is 8 grand more😂

Why Golf R why not RS3?

So the car with 100hp more was faster? Shocking.

Mine be as quick as the AMG45. GolfR 7.5 370hp 500nm 245 kw. and tcu tune.

😂 I love m

I pick the VW, like always

I'd take the Merc anytime ALL the time. VW is no match for the Mercedes...

90hp of difference with same weight more or less…that’s the result

Golf r w12 imagine that

39+8 =47 😛

Benz over everything 🔥

Golf Manual 📈

Wait! Did I see that Golf going at about 255 kmph? How safe is that phew! He wasn't even holding the steering tight!

Too bad the dude in the A45 doesn't drive very well

@carwow it would be good to see a hatchback remap war, for example the one where you had all the hatchbacks like the fiesta st, polo gti etc but instead with a stage 1 remap and see how each of the remaps changes the car and may get different results

Well yes their brand new prices are different but you can get either or used for the same price

its crazy how "cheap" the a45s is in the uk. We pay 79k pounds here in switzerland and not 57k - what a joke.

Editing is so good top tier

Falas demais pá

I’ll stick with the M3

Why have a VW guy drive the merc? He clearly under drove it...

I wonder how my Golf R 7.5 with 370hp and 500nm will go against it.

AMG🔥🔥🔥🔥

A45s is a disaster 🌪🌪🌪

8 grand more? Try 17 grand more.

honestly i enjoy your german accent let's be real :D

Glb35 vs golf r vs others.. would be interesting
