  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
  • Finally! First real-life Autobahn acceleration / Launch Control test with the all-new 2020 / 2021 VW Golf 8 GTD powered by a revised 2.0 TDI delivering 200 hp & 420 Nm of torque through front wheels & 7-speed DSG. Keep in mind that this car was running on "non-ideal" 19 inch winter tires which where struggling for grip at 12 degrees outside temp;) But please watch yourself and tell me your thoughts? Please make sure to also follow all our stuff about this car on instagram! #Golf8 #GTD #Autobahn

  • @ThenameisOskar
    @ThenameisOskar 3 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    If I'm correct, this engine should be similar to the engine of the mk7 GTD. Vw just changed minor things due to emissions and tweaked the engine software for a bit more power (184 -> 200hp & 380 -> 400nm torque)
    Tuners were able to push out about 240hp and 480 to 500nm of torque out of these engines. With those power figures it was possible to do 100-200km/h in 19 to 20 seconds. So 20.1 seconds for a stock GTD is not bad at all!
    I wonder what these new GTD's can do after a remap, power and 100-200km/h time wise.

      I love my mk7.5, as it's got shed loads of torque! And I'm all about the torque.
      It's a shame that every manufacturer always talks about the BHP/HP/KW, but never about the torque. Because torque is a lot more important than BHP.
      The only problem with the 8 is that it's got touch controls for the heating/AC n other bits. What's wrong with a good old dial n button? Because when your driving, you can feel for the buttons. I know it's got voice control, but I bet you'll soon get pissed off with it n end up taking your eyes off the road to look at a screen.
      It'd be great if they put loads of 80's looking buttons and switches in.

      7 seconds 0-100 stock? The best ive seen is 6.5 seconds on speedometer, on gps that would be low 7 seconds. Those figures are off a remapped MK7 GTD though...
      Quattro/haldex is better at 0-100 due to more grip. FWD and alot of torque is a bad combination

      Fwd is a lot lighter than awd. Litteraly every fwd hot hatch is "billion" times more fun and more enjoyable to drive than any awd hot hatch. I've had much more fun in my mate's golf 5 gti on a twisty road than in a rental 7 r we drove in Podgorica. From my own experience this is a fact... If you ain't launching it all the time, awd is just unnecessary added weight that spoils handling and fun factor.

    • @supposedly6991
      @supposedly6991 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Also rwd isn't as much fun as a focused fwd hot hatch (if you don't like drifting all the time).If you just love driving quickly on a twisty road without any fuss, fwd is way more superior. I don't find rear end being loose all the time fun at all, some people love to go through corners without ever thinking if their rear tires are going to break traction, including myself. Also modern focused fwd hot hatches don't have any more understeer than rwd cars if you push them to the limit. Also it's a fucked up myth that fwd cars have a lot of undeerster, some might, but most just like a mk5 gti I drove quite a bit doesn't have any, you need to push the car to the extreme limits to get any understeer, while with a rwd sporty car you can break traction at any time and it just slows u down.
