I'm in the new Audi rs3 next to me is a
Mercedes AMG a 45 next to that is the
new Honda Civic type-r next to that is
the new Volkswagen Golf R and next to
that is the Ford Focus RS we're gonna
have a mega hot hatch drag race now as
you're pointing out this Audi in the
Merc are both automatic and they have
launch control the other three cars
there man you're so drivers skill is
going to matter with those also the
Civic is the odd one out and like all
the other cars which have all-wheel
drive the Civic is front-wheel drive
then you're going to see how that plays
out right now
[Music]
the line first never 8:45 that folks are
races do so well
[Music]
my gosh
[Music]
that's it whoa I am I'm amazed by that
I'm amazed I really thought he's gonna
be closer between this and the a45 I
read right then let's look at the times
the rs3 did the standing quarter mile in
twelve point two seconds the a45 took
twelve point nine seconds the Focus RS
13.5 seconds and the golfer and civic
type-r both did
14 seconds though looking at the photo
finish
it appears the Civic just picked the
golf right on the line by the smallest
bit of garish bumper trim so even though
the front-wheel-drive Civic was slowed
off the line
it eventually reeled in the Golf R and
beat it for a better look at what
happened click in the top right hand
corner of the screen to watch a 360
degree video of the race in a moment
we're going to have a rolling race
between these cars but first let's talk
numbers the Audi rs3 has a 2.5 litre
five-cylinder turbo engine with 400
horsepower and 480 Newton meters it
costs from 44,000 pounds and I timed it
from naught to 60 miles an hour in 3.7
seconds
the mercedes-amg a45 has a 2-liter
four-cylinder turbo engine with 381
horsepower and 475 Newton meters it
costs from 42,000 pounds and I timed it
from naught to 60 miles an hour in four
seconds dead the Ford Focus RS has a 2.3
liter four-cylinder turbo engine with
350 horsepower and 440 Newton meters it
costs from 32,000 pounds and I timed it
from naught to 60 in 4.9 seconds the
Honda Civic Type R has a 2-liter
4-cylinder turbo engine with 320
horsepower and 400 Newton meters it
costs from 31,000 pounds and I tied it
from naught to 60 in five point eight
seconds
finally the Volkswagen Golf R has a
2-liter four-cylinder turbo with 310
horsepower and 380 Newton meters it cost
me thirty three thousand pounds and I
timed it from nought to sixty miles an
hour in 5.3 seconds please bear in mind
though that the last three cars all have
manual gearboxes that you can get the
golf with a dual clutch Auto like you
get as standard with the Mercedes and
the Audi to see the best deals on these
cars click on the pop-out banner in the
top right hand corner of the screen to
go to Colorado UK right then it's time
for the next challenge a rolling race
from 30 miles an hour in second gear now
it shouldn't matter whether the cars are
automatic or manual I'm locked in second
the a45 will do the same because it's an
auto as well okay get level three two
one go
the a45 gets off quicker but now the
zone is coming back oh yes they passed
it Focus RS though
and now I've destroyed the fáááád it's
only so quick so quick that's 104 feet
let's get a quick look at that again
from a reverse angle to see what
happened
the focus pulls ahead of the golf which
is ahead of the Civic however the Civic
soon makes up ground and passes the golf
and eventually the focus as well
meanwhile the a45 got ahead from the
beginning but the rs3 soon passed it and
then pulled away thanks to its epic
