Putting the Audi in Dynamic plus (like they were racing in) sends as much torque to the rear wheels as possible. It should be quicker off the line in regular dynamic
@@12tribes61 Yes, it is new for the facelift S3. The facelift S3 gets the torque splitter from the RS3 and the Golf R, unlike the prefacelift S3 being stuck with the haldex. The dynamic+ is supposed to set the torque splitter to as aggressive as possible for the road without becoming the drift mode in the RS3.
The F70 BMW M135 is down on power and torque from the F40 M135i with a different gear box. So this wasnt a surprise. I guess it depends on how they would have brought back the M140i. The last model was a different class i.e not 4cyl + 2 litre like the rest, and it was rear wheel in the UK, which may have struggled in the test. They may have ruined the M140i, if they had brought that back too, as I'd have expected that to compete against the RS3 and A45

VW are only better in straight line speed. The Merc out does in in just about every other department. The RR is nice but would rather look at and drive the Merc.
The A35 has a mild hybrid system which adds about 16hp and is instant power while the turbos spool up. It’s also the lightest so that’ll be why it wins away from the line.

The A35 launch is crazy - but loses ground fast.
Agera vs Chiron vs Nevera vs SF90.
Would love this. The SF90 is mad to have the type of numbers to compete with hypercars
Nevera would win a drag without a doubt
He didn’t use the most powerful Mercedes A-class which is the A45s. What a shame.
They didn’t use the RS3 neither. Fair game
Different leagues man...to use the A45s, you'd need to also bring the Audi RS3 and the BMW M2.
A45s beat M2CS and M2 Comp, what do you think it would do to these cars?

Most entertaining video from carwow in a while.
Video starts at 8:40
ELO 👊👍
I've got an A35 AMG saloon... absolutely love it.
A few Golf R drivers have tried to race me off lights... I've not risen to it...maybe i will dependant on how long the road is...😂😂😂
Tbh this was one of the funniest Carwow videos in a while
South Africans 🇿🇦 will be very happy with the results of this Drag Race 😂
Very much
lol true, but a false sense of joy, since those are the weaker versions of the big 3 entry cars
Y'all in SA are living in a shitehole 😂😂😂

I'm mad that this beamer is a crap of a car but at least our VW won.
That patek is gorgeous mate!
It’s fake
@@jambikes123 Yanni drives a Lambo, so I doubt the watch is fake 🫣
I like seeing the guys having fun so nice....
The Golf R with the 320 hp engine has done the quartermile in 12,28 sec! On dry road.
This car is a weapon. It annihilite all other adversaire in his category. This means BMW 135, A35 AMG, an Audi S3.
Just for comparaison the 421 hp A45s done the sprint in 12,1 sek which is nearly the same. 😂😂
And still slower than a FWD Megane on Nurburgring. Todays people are so obsessed with straight line speed, it's sad smh
Race starts at 5:12.
That R is an assassin
The 2.0l 4 cylinder 4WD hatchback won!
Car guy: 4 cylinder cars are boring😂
