We’ve finally got our hands on the new Audi S3, so you know what that means… It's hot hatch drag race time!
We’ve got the new S3 going up against the BMW M135i and AMG A35, and once you look at the stats, you'll realise it's too close to call!! All three have 2-litre turbocharged petrol engines, they’re all automatic, and they’ve all got AWD.
But that’s not all! Even their power outputs are almost identical. While the Audi S3 can produce 310hp, both the A35 & M135i can produce 306hp. And when it comes to torque, both the Audi & AMG can put down 400Nm, while the BMW has 450Nm!
Do we have a potential dead heat on our hands? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

@@Cossy1979Uk Yes.

@@TheTechGiantTH-cam absolute rubbish. The a45 is a horrible chav car and is a silly price with nothing special about it, it ps just a tuned 2 litre. From a modified perspective it’s very limited, max really is 500bhp, the rs3 can go over 1000bhp. Interior of the a45 is dreadful.
Understeer on the rs3 is ver6 small. In fact the a45 is worse for fo4 understeer

A drag race between the new Golf R and the S3 would be interesting, to see if the Golf R really has 10 hp more.🤔

It’s a sedan too so it’ll rip apart the r by train lengths
Let’s be honest, the bmw vs audi vs mercedes races are always the most suspenseful ones
Obviously, because its always the most important race lol.
It is true
And audi takes it most of the times. Then mercedes and bmw never takes it.

YESSS!😂
Where do we sign😂⚡️
So Audi, BMW & Merc have made - essentially - the same car. Talk about today's cars being interesting...
I know what the hell is the point
It's what the market dictates though people buy these cars, it's just about money. I would also hazard a guess regulations also has a big say, if you took all the badges off, you'd barely be able to tell them apart. It's stuff like this why I don't have a new car
For real, i have the f40 m135i and it’s so boring.
The new cars are getting more and more similar and boring to drive.
With the audi being faster
The most stupid thing about it is that the old M140 which had the monstrous B58 engine had a starting price or around 30 grand which was the same as the golf R and S3, and that car used to bully the other two. Makes no sense this M135i 🤦♂️

New S3 v old 2018 S3 v Golf R interested to see if there’s much difference
The new Golf R has no competition in this class.
Audi increased the ability and power of the engine so it is the most powerfull racing unit
just give me any of them and i’ll be happy... honestly
Imagine how a 300hp car would sound like 15 years ago
It would have a V8 N/A engine most likely and it would sound absolutely bonkers
.
E46 m3
1jz vvti with a factory sports pipe, can confirm sounds good.
In 1987ish the first bmw 750 was launched with a 5 liter v12 and that thing had 300hp and 450nm... We have come a long way especially since forced induction became mainstream
2:05
Me: Wow now that's not bad compared to the Audi sound.
The Wind: gotcha!
Love how the new s3 is a huge improvement from last gen 👍
Looks like a base model a3
@@City1Tiger huge improvement ? wtf are u talking about. The 8V-F is >>>> this rubbish sounding car xd (non opf version) and not really slower. The interior is much cheaper in the 8Y and also feels like.... damn seems you dont know how a 8V-F non opf with 310 hp sounds and feels like :S
There’s not much point in manual mode if you don’t actually have to change gear...
All it means is, you can override the automatic upshift. Which in a sense is "manual".
Absolutely it’s rubbish, since the gearbox will always shift before you you ask it manually. Destroying fun of going towards the red red line, when you want to.
Also you can short-shift easily, shifting at the same time or just after the gearbox. Not so clever manual option.
@@205500830 It shifts to the next gear only at the red line. Why stress the powertrain for nothing? Most of these cars have limiters and the car would not go past the rev limit anyways. See what happened to the BMW. Audi's approach is the most efficient here. You can still manually change the gear before the red line if you want to but when you hit the red line and you don't change it, the car does it. Clever manual mode. My 2005 Audi A6 does the same and I love it.
@@KeliK1 it’s your car, you should be able to do what you want with it even though it’s bad for it. You paid over £38k to drive it properly in manual mode😂

Can't Wait To See About The Performance Of Brand New RS3

Hi Mat, love your reviews! i really recommend a review for the golf gti vs the alfa romeo giulietta veloce! thanks
That S3 is just 😍

@@lordyacht really wanted to win that on BOTB
Manual mode: requires driver to shift themselves
Audi: “no”
Same with Jaguar , it would automatically shift up before limiter.
In my RS3, if I enter manual mode by using a paddle, then trans will still shift up. If I enter manual mode by pushing gear lever to left, then I will bounce off limiter. My standard sequence is therefore pull back on lever to enter Sports mode, push lever to left to entry manual. I hope this helps.

Matt, you should do a R53 GP1 / R56 GP2 / F56 GP3 drag race, or maybe just the regular mini cooper S versions of all 3.
Would love to see a three way review comparison on all these cars!
The 1 series looks like shite. Bring back RWD and straight 6
The back actually looks nice but yeah the front...
Bmw is shit so theres that
@@homiixide starting from the G generation i’d have to agree with you. But anything before that is great to me, barring the turbo 4 cylinders in the F generation.
Im sure BMW wont bring it back because you said so. It is what it is so get over it. People banging on about the same shit
It isn’t just the 1 series now. 😅
7:12 look in the background...
Oh god the ugliness of that front end, even from those few frames is overwhelming
@Daniel The BMW
Oh a BMW
its the m440i
@k. 743 it’s not that bad bro,but the new m4 is a beast
Back then, this channnel had about 600k subs, so I subscribed thinking that this channel is quite underrated...
But Now... Wow... I am so proud to see this channel go up to 4 million...
Great video as always! Mat’s German accent is the highlight of the video!
They’re so high up. Thought I was looking at crossovers when I seen the thumbnail
The A35 ground clearance is only 113mm. Any lower and you'd never get it over a speed hump.
Xenon0000000000001 a35 is the only one that still looks like a hatch. The other two tho🤔🤔🤔
I thought I was only one!
Same! Especially that Audi looks like q3
someone make a compilation of matt saying sat bc its just funny and he says it every single beginning of the races lol
C43 vs M340i vs Audi S4! Thanks for these videos!
As someone who bought a new S3 three weeks ago I quite enjoyed watching that.

They all sound crap, gone are the days of Sebring, Milltek and Janspeed !
getting a 3rd party exhaust is a must at this point
@@Chris-go7ge There will be some back peddling for sure. Its a monumental ask.
You know Mat is sitting in the strongest car... ALWAYS! I mean you get an idea of the result before the race even starts lol🤣🤣🤣
He does not win all the time. You clearly haven’t seen many videos.
Unless Yaini's there
I think he is usually in the newest car. But to be fair he's the face of the channel so he should be in the pre race favorite car for better content
Not always.
Nice one again. But I am curious: Which tires did the cars have? The breaking test was more of a test for those than for the cars themselves with this weather...
the back end of that S3 looks sexy... wow good job audi
Proud s3 owner here 🙋♂️
I was just looking for a hot hatch drag race and this got uploaded
Hie Mat I just hope you can show us which is the fastest suv in a quarter mile.. lamboghini Urus, Bmw X6m competition, Jeep trackhawk and others...

All 3 cars are amazing however that s3 is quite impressive
I don‘t like the looks of the Audi.

I put like to that video and also wrote a comment.
Thanks for that awesome comparison!)
I’ll take the A35 for looks, the Audi for engine and the BMW for ummm. I’m not sure but I’ll take one of each please👍
if this was 10 years ago you'd take the BMW for RWD fun and looks but now...ummmm...idk man, the styling is off too
BMW is so ugly, but fun to drive for sure
I have a tip just take the A45s, better sound, bettert performance and the same looks like the A35
Oh that’s a BMW, I thought it was a Focus....
BWW because "Hair grease on top of the trade"?
3:04 Looks like a boat race😂

but with the 900HP (or is it 1000 now?) M5 from the previous videos in it
Waiting for the new SQ5 sportback review!!!
The Audi is the best looking in my oppinion!
Earlyyy
yes
best performing too
Agreed’
I mean they're all ugly, so it's easy to say which one looks less bad.
If Audi failed again, my heart would break even more. Good job audi finally good stuff!!!
ya if audi loses in the rain, then whats the point of having the quattro
why would you care? shouldn't you as a consumer just get the best car and that's it?
I like audi
To be fair all the races so far have used the very best e63s and m5 comp agains standard non performancemodel rs6/7
@@KK001 I hope Audi comes out with performance versions of the RS6/7. To be honest it's not the reviewers fault because Audi doesn't have a performance model for their new cars. An interesting race would be the 2016/17 RS7 performance vs the new RS7.
With such close stats it would be interesting on which tyres they stay.

Wow. You must be very proud that you managed to beat an RWD car with less power from a dig with a AWD car with more power. good job, that really requires driving skills. I felt sick as I once saw the interior of an focus RS, horribly cheap. I bought an A35 AMG than.
As you did E63s vs Logan to show the huge gap can you do something like Pista vs a hot hatch just to show how insanely quick supercars are?
