Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1412 It’s time for a hot hatch showdown! We’ve got Mat in the new Volkswagen Golf R, and it’s about to go head-to-head against its key rivals - the BMW M135, the Audi S3, and the Mercedes-AMG A35! But which will come out on top? Let’s see how the four compare. Starting with the new Golf R, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol that produces 333hp and 420Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,548kg. As new, the Golf costs around £44,500. The Audi S3 is effectively the same car under the skin, so it packs the same engine as the Golf R and produces the same 333hp and 420Nm. It has the same 7-speed dual-clutch, and it tips the scales at 1,535kg. If you want to buy a new one, it costs around £48,000. The BMW also has a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and it puts down 300hp and 400Nm. It also has a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it weighs in at 1,550kg. It’s also the cheapest car here, costing around £44,000. Then finally we have the Mercedes. It has the same size engine as every other car here, and it puts down 306hp and 400Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch, and it weighs 1,495kg. A new AMG A35 costs £46,000. So will the newer Golf R snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
