In a showdown of hot hatches on the drag strip, carwow pitted the Volkswagen Golf R, Audi S3, BMW m135, and Mercedes AMG A35 against each other. The Golf R, with its 333 horsepower, emerged victorious, closely followed by the S3, A35, and the m135 lagging behind. Surprisingly, the BMW underperformed, failing to live up to its reputation for speed. Meanwhile, the Mercedes was lauded for its luxury and class, despite not matching the others in terms of speed.
The team delved into the nuances of exhaust sounds, with the Golf R impressing the most. They then ventured into testing drift modes, where the Golf R showcased its advantage in this aspect. However, the BMW struggled, highlighting its shortcomings in performance compared to its rivals. The Golf R's dominance continued in a rolling race, leaving the others in its wake and solidifying its position as the top contender in this fierce competition.
Further testing in manual mode revealed the Golf R's automatic upshift feature, giving it a significant edge over the rest. While the BMW faced criticism for its slower-than-expected performance, the Golf R continued to shine, impressing with its speed and agility. The team's plans to pit the old BMW against the new one promise an exciting future face-off, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, the Golf R's consistent victories and impressive performance solidify its status as the king of the hot hatch drag race.
