What about a 2.0 Diesel Drag Race with just different cars? Like for example: Octavia 2.0, Golf 2.0, A4/A3 2.0 etc. Would be interesting to see how the same engine performs in different cars.
@@omarmandooh Oh an Audi hater no surprise we can see you here. Let me guess you have never owned a car that costs more than 5k yet you criticize a expensive sport avant
Wow, the Estate Cars are really doing well to be running in the 12 seconds bracket because 34 years ago, my street Corolla was doing a blistering 12.1 seconds on the 1/4 mile when all others were in the 18-second bracket. So keeping things into perspective, you can still have quick cars ideally suited for the family.
@@ravenheart369 Same reason why electric cars have such bad top speeds, the amount of energy to speed up at 100+ miles is much larger than 0-60 where electric cars like Teslas shine, of course this wouldn’t be a problem if charging was as quick as filling up. The upcoming EV HyperCars can reach 200+ miles but that’s what you should expect from a multi-million price point.
@@ravenheart369 Well it has a combustion engine at the front and an electric engine at the back… there is no gearbox on the electric engine, and as we all know engines can just rev to a certain limit. So at a certain speed the electric engine turnes of so it won't get damaged.
@@Christs_Apologet I’m talking about Rimac C2, lotus Evija, Pininfarina Batista and things like that. Tesla’s look boring the model s is pretty bland and they were saying the roadster was coming out in 2020 so I will believe it when I see it (announced in 2017 and will come out after cyber truck and semi so probably late 2022 - 2023)you can barely take a model 3 round the track for more than 30-40 minutes continuously so they still have a long way to go. The roadster will still be great value even if it underperforms on what’s been promised.
Actually, a drag race and a comparison test in the same video would be even better. We haven't seen many test videos in some time. Well, I guess the races get more clicks so..
Atarv Hegde I’m sure the M8 could’ve got a faster time in that, but that’s impressive considering an R8 is a fully fledged super car and an M8 is a 4 door gram coupe
There is an older video where Matt sat in a Volvo S60. The race includes the M340i sedan, Audi S4 diesel and Mercedes E53 AMG. Results are pretty much the same though lol.
Yes that will always be the case I don't know why they're putting tiny engines in cars even the old 1.8 2L they had plenty of power these new ones are garbage
1. Yes 2. An A45S (2.0) is faster than a Mustang GT (5.0), for example. In terms of performance, that statement isn't true. However, numbers do not equal enjoyment...there's 0 chance I'd swap my 981CS for a 718 even if it is faster.
@@harrison4548 Care to provide any independently-tested evidence of that? I've seen someone claiming my car can do it in 3.9, which I'm sure it would with the right hill and tailwind...but it can't really, I'll believe the majority that put it at 4.5-4.7s. I'm not saying you're lying, just that we need some evidence.
@@atarvhegde5210 You can't generalize it for Volvos. It's got a strong and heavy electric motor which basically produces no power at high RPM. That's why at high speeds, an electrical motor doesn't help and the car propably only has 300 hp at that point
@@Introgamer14 Well we didn't say Volvo to put a electric motor in there. On the plus side: The Volvo is easy to tune because it has a supercharger ( if you can easily access it). Also the new Volvos aren't really designed with fun and preformance in mind. And yes , maybe I shouldn't generalize that for Volvos.

Turbo for torque in high revs and compresser for torque in low revs , makes it feel like driving electic ... what he also does at rear wheels . Must be a great feeling of power
Fast wagons are a weird combo of fun and practical. Even though its the slowest of the 3 I'd still take the Volvo, it's *nearly* as fast as the others but still gives 130mpg which is pretty awesome.
Yea. the 3.0 V6 TDI is a great engine in a "normal" A4 but for a S4 variant they should have brought the 3.0 TFSI V6 available on non Euro markets. Possibly with a 48V mild hybrid system as well.
@@enicaeduard I'm from the UK mate. I own a 3l v6 turbo petrol Audi S4. This was filmed about 2 hrs from where I live. The v6 petrol S4 is available all over the world. Not sure what 'Europe' has to do with this..did you assume I'm from the USA?
I loved the R8 drag race where you raced all of the R8 models so we could see how they compare over time. Do more of those eg. race all 911 models, all V12 Lamborghini models...
'I'm sitting' not 'I'm sat' please Mat. 'Sat' is past tense, 'sitting' is present tense. 'I sat in a car last week' is correct, but 'I am sitting in a car now' is correct for your video. Sorry, but I've watched so many videos and resisted the temptation to comment until now! Love the content and am an avid subscriber!
They've had them for a while. I used to have an Ibiza FR TDi, very quick for what it was, and good economy, couldn't have a petrol at the time as I was doing in excess 20k miles per year.
Not with these engines. Volvos T8 hybrids can hardly be considered "perfromance cars". I wish they kept developping a 5 cylinder turbo engine. Would fit the larger top of the range models XC90, S90 and V90 much better. Maybe we will see a performance comeback with Polestar?
Man, how did they make a petrol 2.0l engine with supercharge, turbo charge and eletric and still makes less than 400hp? Mercedes a45 s with the same capacity with turbocharge can make way more than that thing
Whilst driving in a TH-cam drag race video, 4.23 Matt : 'hold on guys, let me just save this bird of prey!" proceeds to chase the bird with his car, off the runway! Legend
Considering that it was bloody diesel against two petrols it did great, I'm actually impressed by audi, and you'd be also if you knew a bit about differences between diesels and petrols
The M340i has a much nicer interior I'd say. Not a fan of the Volvo focus on the big vertical screen, plus it's a bit low down. I've been extremely critical of BMW interiors for ages but the new ones are actually pretty good. I'd imagine they're all pretty decent to live with, but the BMW engine makes it far more special. ...full disclosure, if I wanted a practical car again, I wouldn't buy any of these.
@@jameswingrove7421 Good question...M340i I reckon is 3rd on my list. 1st would be a Lexus GS450h. It's not perfect- launches like a boat and the steering does lack feel plus it has limited lateral grip so definitely not a track toy. 30-150mph it's identical to the M340i though, but with Bentley levels of luxury (moisturising aircon anyone?), gets 50mpg on a run or round town and has great handling balance- loses grip but is insanely easy to control. Sadly this car stopped production in 2018 so used only, but it's a Lexus, they basically don't age. 2nd choice for me would be the Peugeot 508 PSE. Looks basically like a more exciting version of the Volvo. One of the sexiest cars around both inside and (especially) out. Also 50-75mph (80-120kmh) in 3.0s, bearing in mind I can't even find a claimed time for the BMW better than 3.3. It's not faster than the BMW down a 1/4 mile I'd imagine but that proves it's got some shove! Bit long, but I'm a big fan of those 2 cars. M340i is still a great car though, Volvo isn't bad either, I just don't find it exciting.
@@ApothecaryTerry You wouldn’t buy the Lexus for a dynamic driving experience (with exception to the F models). I’m a big fan of the 508’s styling and to my eyes it is the best looking mid size executive saloon on the market at the moment. Not bad choices but for me I’d probably take a very lightly used and rare Volvo V60 Polestar.
@@jameswingrove7421 In the case of the GS450h you absolutely would...you won't find many cars better balanced on the limit (including any F models) and with relatively narrow tyres (235) and loads of power the limit is easy to find. LC500 also beat the DB11 in a handling test, so no dynamic issues there. Any other non-F Lexus cars aren't great dynamically though these are definitely exceptions. Old IS250/350 was the only other fairly good chassis. Edit: I suppose an obvious thing to say is that the GS has whooped the Panamera in a few road tests. It's a crazy car. The polestar has decent performance but the Pug is just a bit better in every way. The V60 beats the GS to 30mph (as do most things) but the GS is in its own league at high speeds, plus has that epic handling and obviously is incomparable for luxury and reliability. The V60 also isn't exactly efficient in comparison to either. If you want something a bit more raw the the V60 ticks that box best, but to be honest at that money...well that's why I drive a 981 Cayman S. I'd say the V60 is most closely comparable to an A45, and I'd take it over one of those.
Would be interesting to know the MPGs they got during the races🤔. All well and good them being quick but if they can be quick and efficient that'll give the diesel and hybrid power trains a purpose
All I can really give you is that me and my cousin work at the same place and drive the same journey every day with a similar driving style. I have the s4 saloon (2021) and he has the m340i (2020) and I average 46.2 mpg, he gets 29. The difference is pretty substantial I'd say. I love having 99% of the power but 150% of his fuel economy 😂
When you decide not to have more than 2L 4 cylinders, you can't compete in the top range. If they still have the T5 or T6, the story would be different
You probably meant older 5-cyl T5 and T6 because Volvo still make T5 and T6, only they are 4-cyl now. T8 is T6 + electric. And I don't think the story would be different. Current stock T5 and T6 have better performance than the older ones. Yes, we can talk about sound and character of those engines. That's the different story.
Was the battery of the T8 full enough? and it might be the same as the older V60 D6 Hybrid that the electric power cuts above 160KM/h after that the D6 was quite a bit slower when accelerating and in a disadvantage vs a normal D5 because of the battery weight.
The Volvo has electric power, for instant torque at 0rpm It has a supercharger for low engine rpm performance. It has a turbo for higher engine speed performance. It has all wheel drive for traction. I am disappoint 👀

a diesel is a performance car, sweet god where have we gone
And it finished 2nd in both races
They've had them for a while. I used to have an Ibiza FR TDi, very quick for what it was, and good economy, couldn't have a petrol at the time as I was doing in excess 20k miles per year.
Where have you been for the past 20 years?
If the Audi has a bit more HP (Like the others) he will win this game. Diesel is in the Start very quick and also not expensive
Hell
Best car review channel on TH-cam
Never been so early to a carwow drag race
Audi needs to stop producing S models with a diesel engine
Yeah
They will, the sq7 is back to petrol
True, i have drove S4 but benzin, my god that thing is flying...
No they have to produce both, petrol and diesel
@@obiwan4148 Yes choice is always better.
Dont forget guys the 340i is rwd , the Volvo and Audi are awd.
The bmw did a Good Job
Hey mat can you do a next video like the cheapest cars that give out the best milage also
A drag race between urus bentayga dbx cayeen etc etc
Please
I wish the Volvo would win..
BMW fanboys
2.0 volvo? No way....volvo need to add V6 or inline6 engine
Not with these engines. Volvos T8 hybrids can hardly be considered "perfromance cars". I wish they kept developping a 5 cylinder turbo engine. Would fit the larger top of the range models XC90, S90 and V90 much better.
Maybe we will see a performance comeback with Polestar?
Man, how did they make a petrol 2.0l engine with supercharge, turbo charge and eletric and still makes less than 400hp? Mercedes a45 s with the same capacity with turbocharge can make way more than that thing
Matt, bring on the M340d whenever possible and drag it against the S4...
I'll like to see a drag race between Mercedes Benz GLE coupé and BMW X6
And Audi Q8
Also Porsche cayenne gts coupe
Please do some cheap standard city cars next time like Volkswagen Up!, Kia Picanto, Renault Twingo, Toyota Aygo etc...
Whilst driving in a TH-cam drag race video, 4.23 Matt : 'hold on guys, let me just save this bird of prey!" proceeds to chase the bird with his car, off the runway! Legend
Lets compare the new golfs in a drag race : GTI vs GTI Clubsport vs R
thats not a bad idea
Matt Has A Good Heart🦅😂💕
That's why I love driving BMWs since roughly 20 years
but you never love owning one long term lmfao
bmw’s are pure lease cars lel
I'm not gonna lie, i am starting to get really pissed off at audi.
Same. Sound awful, always slower than the rest of their class, look dreary besides RS models. I want to love them but I struggle
Considering that it was bloody diesel against two petrols it did great, I'm actually impressed by audi, and you'd be also if you knew a bit about differences between diesels and petrols
Yeah, but the M340d would also shit on that S4
Why? Because they didn't win a drag race? Who cares?
@@edsmack6122 but why are Audi making their S models diesel? The S4, S5 and S7 are diesel.
Currently in lockdown here - carwow drag races are the highlight of my day 👌🔥
@3:42 Best moment, loved it. BTW, great video. (BIMMER fan boy)
I love Estates. I’d love to buy one too! Issue is, I need a drivers license though...
And money
3:47
Audi: *"V-Tec just kicked in yo!"*
The official name of it is AVS not V-Tec
The official name of it is AVS not V-Tec
Please do an M3 Competition F80 VS Mercedes C63s VS Audi RS4 VS Toyota MK5 Supra VS Porche 911 Carrera
BMW ofcourse, the 6 inline is awsome.
Let's be honest we all knew the bmw is gonna win and we still watched the video
When i saw the thumbnail, i immediately said *"bye-bye Audi & Volvo"* before i even watch it😄
I would imagine the Volvo is the most pleasant of the three to live with every day though.
The M340i has a much nicer interior I'd say. Not a fan of the Volvo focus on the big vertical screen, plus it's a bit low down. I've been extremely critical of BMW interiors for ages but the new ones are actually pretty good. I'd imagine they're all pretty decent to live with, but the BMW engine makes it far more special.
...full disclosure, if I wanted a practical car again, I wouldn't buy any of these.
@@ApothecaryTerry Out of curiosity, what “sensible” car would you go for?
@@jameswingrove7421 Good question...M340i I reckon is 3rd on my list. 1st would be a Lexus GS450h. It's not perfect- launches like a boat and the steering does lack feel plus it has limited lateral grip so definitely not a track toy. 30-150mph it's identical to the M340i though, but with Bentley levels of luxury (moisturising aircon anyone?), gets 50mpg on a run or round town and has great handling balance- loses grip but is insanely easy to control. Sadly this car stopped production in 2018 so used only, but it's a Lexus, they basically don't age.
2nd choice for me would be the Peugeot 508 PSE. Looks basically like a more exciting version of the Volvo. One of the sexiest cars around both inside and (especially) out. Also 50-75mph (80-120kmh) in 3.0s, bearing in mind I can't even find a claimed time for the BMW better than 3.3. It's not faster than the BMW down a 1/4 mile I'd imagine but that proves it's got some shove!
Bit long, but I'm a big fan of those 2 cars. M340i is still a great car though, Volvo isn't bad either, I just don't find it exciting.
@@ApothecaryTerry You wouldn’t buy the Lexus for a dynamic driving experience (with exception to the F models). I’m a big fan of the 508’s styling and to my eyes it is the best looking mid size executive saloon on the market at the moment. Not bad choices but for me I’d probably take a very lightly used and rare Volvo V60 Polestar.
@@jameswingrove7421 In the case of the GS450h you absolutely would...you won't find many cars better balanced on the limit (including any F models) and with relatively narrow tyres (235) and loads of power the limit is easy to find. LC500 also beat the DB11 in a handling test, so no dynamic issues there. Any other non-F Lexus cars aren't great dynamically though these are definitely exceptions. Old IS250/350 was the only other fairly good chassis. Edit: I suppose an obvious thing to say is that the GS has whooped the Panamera in a few road tests. It's a crazy car.
The polestar has decent performance but the Pug is just a bit better in every way. The V60 beats the GS to 30mph (as do most things) but the GS is in its own league at high speeds, plus has that epic handling and obviously is incomparable for luxury and reliability. The V60 also isn't exactly efficient in comparison to either. If you want something a bit more raw the the V60 ticks that box best, but to be honest at that money...well that's why I drive a 981 Cayman S. I'd say the V60 is most closely comparable to an A45, and I'd take it over one of those.
Would be interesting to know the MPGs they got during the races🤔. All well and good them being quick but if they can be quick and efficient that'll give the diesel and hybrid power trains a purpose
All I can really give you is that me and my cousin work at the same place and drive the same journey every day with a similar driving style. I have the s4 saloon (2021) and he has the m340i (2020) and I average 46.2 mpg, he gets 29. The difference is pretty substantial I'd say. I love having 99% of the power but 150% of his fuel economy 😂
When you tune in expecting the car you currently own get dog walked...and it got dog walked.
Bmw has more power from what he claims
Thats for sure
Good race idea: bmw X4 vs bmwX4M vs bmw X5 vs bmw X5M vs bmw X6 vs bmw X6M ( only to see the amount of difference)
Part of my job is to scare birds off runways and 04:20 is EXACTLY what it's like hahaha
The Beeemer's pick up😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥....seriously on another level
You mean the lowest level
@@wasmiddelsap3379 it won?
When you decide not to have more than 2L 4 cylinders, you can't compete in the top range. If they still have the T5 or T6, the story would be different
You probably meant older 5-cyl T5 and T6 because Volvo still make T5 and T6, only they are 4-cyl now. T8 is T6 + electric. And I don't think the story would be different. Current stock T5 and T6 have better performance than the older ones. Yes, we can talk about sound and character of those engines. That's the different story.
@@MarekHron Obviously T5 with 5 cylinders and 3.0 T6 with six cyl. Now From T3 to T8 are all 4 pot
@@nicolamiriano9150 Of course.
@@nicolamiriano9150 And it starts with T2.
@@MarekHron True, even though now T2 and T3 are becoming 3 cyl engines (seen in the XC40 for example)
Was the battery of the T8 full enough? and it might be the same as the older V60 D6 Hybrid that the electric power cuts above 160KM/h after that the D6 was quite a bit slower when accelerating and in a disadvantage vs a normal D5 because of the battery weight.
The Volvo has electric power, for instant torque at 0rpm
It has a supercharger for low engine rpm performance.
It has a turbo for higher engine speed performance.
It has all wheel drive for traction.
I am disappoint 👀
Its a 2 tonnes tank. No wonder why its slowe in acceleration and braking.
The electric motor is decoupled beyond 100mph. Hence its just a 300hp fwd car at higher speeds.
