It’s time for a hot hatch showdown!
We’ve got Mat in the all-new Audi S3, and he’s facing off against its key rivals to see just how different it is from the previous generation!
So let’s see how they all compare. Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo that can produce 333hp and 420Nm of torque. It’s equipped with all-wheel drive, and as new it costs just over £44,000. It’s also the heaviest car here, weighing in at 1,610kg.
Alongside it is the VW Golf R. It’s also powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, but in this instance it produces 320hp and 420Nm. It’s one of the lightest cars here, at 1,525kg, and it’s also the cheapest, coming in at around £43,000.
Next up we have the BMW M135i. Once again it’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder, and this produces 306hp and 450Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels, and the car tips the scales at 1,525kg - just like the Golf. However, it’s slightly more expensive, costing around £44,000.
Then finally we have the AMG A35. It’s powered by a (you guessed it…) 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and it puts down 306hp and 400Nm. It weighs in at 1,570kg, and it’s the most expensive car in this line-up, costing around £46,000.
So will it be an easy win for the S3? Or could another car snatch it? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
Can we have a drag race of the BMW M5 CS v Mercedes-AMG GT63s E-Performance v Audi RS7 Performance
Was already shown on other channels.
1. M5 CS
2. GT63 SE
3. RS7 Performance.

I’m yet to see a proper ultimate hatch race: 2024 A45s AMG - BMW M135 - VW Golf 8R - Audi RS3 - Honda Civic Type R - Hyundai i30N
The Audi would win.
If you take an rs3 and an A45S, use a BMW M2 instead of an M135 and it's perfect.
@@astroeo6911 bmw m2 is much more expensive than those cars
@@biznesmen9229 Not that mush, but you can take the new M240i instead if you prefer. It will be more accurate for me if you take the price into account :)
Sure, take a 400HP, AWD 5-cylinder against a 280Hp, FWD 4-cylinder. Seems fair to me 😂
The difference is so little that it actually comes down to what one prefers...all great cars
tbh the BMW f20 lci m140i would smoke these cars and easily

Naw the amg is easily the slowest of the bunch, the other 3 are close enough to each other though

they just test with what they have available. it's not like "i want, so i have"

I really loved every video that Sam started appearing regularly because he's cool and funny, but now i can't wait for the whole trio Sam, Nick and Rory.
They are like the Three Musketeers and funny as hell.
Matt i know they are regular but i would love if they are regular for every video, appear as much as they can, possibly in every video, because they are truly a gem for this channel.
I would love Yianni too since he the special guy and i love yall five bickering with each other, but ik hes busy with his own channel, and im cool with how much he appears.
All in all, keep up the good work and peace ✌️
The way that golf R took of on the first roll race😮💨🔥🔥.
Still gets destroyed by the RS3, I see no point in the Golf R at all. Get a GTI Clubsport if you want a Golf, get an RS3 if you want a proper fast hot hatch.

Golf R fans 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I had an A35 and now have an S3. The S3 is the most boring car ever, the A35 may be slower but it feels quicker when you’re actually driving it and is the more fun car in every way!
I have an RS3 8Y, recently had an A35 try it and was very surprised how gutless it was. I absolutely destroyed it and he was trying. I do agree on the S3, but it's an S,not an RS. Just try the RS3, fantastic car and way better than the AMG A45s I had before it.
@@mauricetoussaint7283 I test drove the RS3 before I got the S3 and naively thought it would be similar in feel just a bit slower, which is exactly how I found the A35/A45s to be. The RS3 was an amazing car, the S3 hasn’t put me off Audi’s, it’s just RS or nothing 😂.
That golf was pretty nuts

did anyone else notice the "t" in "turbo" on the a35 was missing?
common problem, the T in my Turbo on my a45s also almost flew away
Golf is always the boss. 40 years now
I think carwow should have two camreas at the finish line on both sides of the strip cause i feel like the view from one camera is sometimes biased to the side that its positioned from
Finally a drag race for normal people. Been ages since last one
I loved "its just the c63 engine there" Good analogy 😂😂👌🏻
BRO MATT CHOOSES DRAG RACES THAT ARE GOOD AFTER WEEKS!!
The gp3 mini just entered the chat ,says hold my beer .😂
It is as Sam said. The Golf R is the GOAT of Hothatches. Even when drag racing against more powerful hothatches. It shows you what it's made of or has never fallen far behind. Once again it proved who the King is.
Funny thing is around a track a Cupra will do a Golf R

So what exactly happened
Always the same 😂
I was about to say that and it's not fair now. He wants to win every time so what's the point of racing other drivers if he always wants to win.
Also tells us he doesn't pick the fastest car but the newest, then proceeds to tell us that the newest car is the fastest.
why is this so accurate
@@northseawolf lmao. Fr. The golf R won the most races
I’d be interested in seeing some odd match ups like a Golf R vs ScatPack 😂 or GTI vs CT4 V 😮
Agree. Way cooler and probably more like real life. How often do you pull up next to someone with a vehicle in the same class and everything like you
@@Traxxmaciek exactly. Very rare

CUT THE GRASS. 😏 Couldn't see who crossed the line first!

Naff 4D number plates on an M135i, name a more iconic duo.
4D number plates look awful, nearly as bad as the fake M wing mirrors people put on
11:35 😂😂😂 Matt was so upset 😂😂😂
I think you'll find Audi have been doing the 4 cylinder turbo charged 4wd hot hatch the longest Samuel
2:57 the Golf has a winter tyre on the rear left wheel. Why?
With Matt, it is always a coincidence that he's in the quickest car 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
You racing that Golf 8 r with those ' s badys
Y’all do such a good job! Please keep the format the same it’s such a pleasure watching your videos! No offense to Matt, Rory, or Nick, but Sam is often who I come to see!
Just put the camera 50m behind the brake line so you can check who and when brakes first with a brake light. :)
Damn Audi removed the S3 badge on the front grill, who approved that 😮
I'd just put a aftermarket one on, though still stupid how they removed it..
saves costs
Less flamboyant 😂
They had to do that to be able to afford the Audi Sport badge on every regular Audi model 😅

Love how tight the races were!
The mercedeses that we want to see winning are losing and the ones we want to see losing (new C63) is practically winning every race. Isn't that concerning 🤔
Men hear exhaust bangs men happy.
The finish line Camera should be a bit higher so that it is much easier to know who crossed first
That S3 looks so plain. Whenever I see the A35 on the road they look better without that spoiler.
Agreed
they all look like shopping trollies
Agreed. I don’t think Audi could have made it look any more boring.
Yep that spoiler is just out of place.
The Audi is by far the best looking car. It's definitely the sleeper out of the bunch.

@g6kid1 tbh mate it's car lottery. The a35 in video ain't right , I have a a35 saloon standard and dynoed at 345-350 but then some are 301 306. 320. And have turbo overspool. / boost. But yes vw are known for bs figures. Anyways a35s remapped to 380 :) Also no wing causing drag
You always put yourself in the quickest car on paper
Can we have:
- A45s facelift
- M2 G87
- Golf 8R (With Akrapovic exhaust)
- RS3 8Y
421hp vs 480hp vs 320hp vs 400hp makes sense at all.. gg

Same this is the "old" bmw m135. Was it for the huge Carwow company not possible to get the new 135 from BMW.
