@@lucasnatson6536 You would prefer watching a video of Misha trying to drift on assetto than him Learning IRL from a professional ?? You seems like a fun Guy to be around
I really like Benny Leuchter. First saw him on the JP Performance channel talking about the Golf 8R when it was new, that was really fun. You can feel his excitement for the car he's helped developing, always makes for a great video.
I'm glad to see VW made the AWD system in Golf R more rear biased! I'm sure some drivers would prefer this because it's more fun at the right circumstances! Slightly off-topic, it's a shame Toyota is getting rid of 30F 70R torque split on their facelifted GR Yaris & GR Corolla.
Its always maxed out 50/50 on the haldex, its just the new haldex diff can allow all that power on the same axle to go to one of the wheels which is a max of 50% total. Yes aftermarket haldex controllers have allowed 50/50 locked since haldex started in terms of splitting the power more aggressively to the rear but the new haldex isnt all that much different besides allowing more torque to one wheel than the other
That AWD system is impressive!! Very similar to a rally-tuned system with it prioritizing more power to the rear than the front. Seems like we have another VW Polo rally car in the works...
Between James of Throttle House and your videos on the subject Misha, I’m very convinced I want a Golf R. I can’t right now, so I hope they keep being made until I can :)
VW sells more Golf R’s and GTI’s in the US than any other country. In just the Northeast alone VW could sell out every Club Sport allocation with 10 minutes regardless of price so it’s kinda surprising it’s never been available here.
Make a new Corrado, Volkswagen. With the same kind of rear biased AWD as your new Golf sport models. With a new high reving lightweight NA VR6. No hybrid BS or anything else that would add weight. Do it - we know you want to, and you know we want that kind of car.
@@module79l28 I'll pro-actively list the rest of the excuses that are going to be brought by people who spend their lives finding ways not to accomplish things as well: - it's too niche - it costs too much to develop for a limited production run - the new Scirocco didn't sell well, the new Corrado is going to flop as well - people don't want small light sportscars anymore, you have to have space and comfort - sports cars customers like tuning, you can't tune an NA - why do petrol it's all going to be electric anyway And just like with your claim about the engine and emissions, it's either a bad assumption to begin with (plenty of high power NAs complying with emissions on the market right now), or there's a solution to it. A new purist Corrado can be done, it can be made a success, it should be done, and the only reason it would not be done is if someone decided to purposely prevent a great thing.
@@stoneeh - Wanting that kind of stuff from a car manufacturer nowadays is just wishful thinking. I wouldn't mind having the Scirocco back, it would mean more work and more jobs for the Palmela factory where it was assembled, but if it happens one day it'll be an electric Scirocco for sure.
18:48 А вот тут начинается самое интересное, т.к. камеры на впереди идущей и преследующей машине - это всегда смотрится очень интересно. P.S> Единственное, хотелось бы видеть не позади идущую машину, а "Мишу", т.е. камеру надо было поставить в синий Гольф R сзади. Тогда было бы идеально. Как бы "звезда" тут Миша, по этому смотреть надо на него )))))
to drift easier misha, its really about weight transfer and transitioning the weight from one side to the other and lift right as the weight transfers then get on the throttle. hope that will help for the future. :) there are many techniques for drift, clutch kick, inertia drift, braking drift, lift throttle oversteer etc. hope some of that helps for next time you go hooning :) happy slideways
It's a bit different and 'unnatural' in the R because it is a front heavy car and understeers naturally. You have to give it power to make it slide, so you can only help it along with weight transfer. You have to have a large wheel turn angle and be on the power for the torque vectoring to kick in hard.
@@nenadmomcilovic9133 not sure what you mean. I have DCC and I'm guessing the components will be different, but could be wrong. DCC is great and glad I got a car with it. If I were to keep itz id probs lower it about 20mm and put some spacers on, but it's ok. I don't like modded look, but a subtle change like that would be good. DCC is so comfortable, it's honestly one of the most comfortable cars I've had, and I've had quite a few!
Thanks for posting. I would like to see VW (and Benny) bring some cars to the Nurburgring in 2025. I think you'd be happy to take a GTI Clubsport for some laps. 👍
seems like a really good allround car, daily, long distances, some tracking and maybe drifting (crazy to say that about a golf) but come on, that price ist just out of this world, also the digital cockpit keeps getting worse with every update it gets lol
2:22 - that information in the display -> Eingriff Proaktiver Insassenschutz (proactive passenger protection) -> be careful, that car is trying to end your live ;)
Only misha can be in full drift mode and still find maximum grip 🤣🤣🤣 it just goes to show you can’t just switch off and change your driving style. On another note it’s amazing how much tech is going into these cars and yet most of them will never see a track day :/
Great video! Just out of curiosity, how would you compare ~stock (or as mild mod platforms) seat leon cupra 300 with this GTI clubsport 8,5? Thinking about changing the seat in foreseeable future :)
VW has always been dormant in the driver category. Honda, Renault, and to a lesser extender lately, Ford, have been more focussed in those areas. Now we have EA888.4 propulsion with a chassis that the Germans have switched focus to handling - it's going to be lethal. They should have done it 10 years ago with the Mk7 but it's good to wake the Honda lads up and see what''s incoming. We welcome the chase.
Its still just a computer in wheels, where you are the operator and not the driver. Honda are the unrivalled masters in driver engagement and the GR Corolla and Yaris are up there too.
@@mokodorali5975it’s probably faster than that Toyota and Honda tho in straight line and possibly the corners so to me a little more tech seems to help sometimes
@@swype.media-9309 hot hatches are not about speed and thats something the Germans never understand and a lot of consumers too. Hot hatches are about fun, driver engagement and involvement.

@@mokodorali5975 well to be fair they make their cars for the autobahn not Japanese roads where 100kph is illegal speeding. Something the Japanese cannot understand. And misha giving such high praise of fwd grip is always good to see from a manufacturer shows that their R&D paid off. Sounds to me like this golf might be faster, and take your Toyota’s and Honda’s in the corners. And I didn’t even get into the price gouging of the jdms, just to go slower not worth.
@@swype.media-9309 yes you are right they are built for the autobahn, just going in straight line, Japanese cars are built for being agile and nimble, handling and feel, emotion is more important, there roads are country oasses, their innovative car cukture has given us thibgs like touge racing, all about handling. The Golf doesnt have anything on the Civic Type R or Corolla and Yaris GR in the handling stakes, they would run rings on them, they run rings on much more higher end cars. They are priced spot on as the engineering and product are superior. You paying for better product. The only reason why the CTR and GR are slightly slower, like only a second, is because they use manual boxes, and not computer driven DCT's that cut a second or two.
Moin Misha, ich mag jedes Viedeo von dir, weil man bei dir hauptsächlich etwas über die Kunst des Fahrens erfährt. Natürlich gefallen mir auch Dinge über das Tunen, interessantes Handwerk, ausgeklügelte Techniken und auch sowas wie deinen Misha 2 Kanal. Und ganz nebenbei lerne ich noch etwas Englisch😊. Ps. Ich habe viel Spaß beim Zuschauen, lg.Uwe🖖🖖
@@TranceFur yes but after a short period of time it's not good and when the computer shuts the engine down as it did in the video it's not a good sign.. When you're on the incline at the nurburgring the oil temps get high! Both my M3s reach 130, e93 once reached 135, technically nothing wrong but the oil will lose viscoty and potententially cause engine failure at high temps unless the oil is designed for high temp usage which is what I use
Misha if U want to control any car sliding u need to go see a French guy, rasso-ouest and do a video with him he as done it before with other French TH-camr nice guy and a master behind the wheel, it will be a super video for u and ur subscribers if u can do it 🙏
If you buy one just keep 2 litres of petrol in it so when the chavs Nick it they will only get to the end of the street that’s 9.5 miles to the gallon 😅
the main problem with golf is it has wonderful diff but you can't fit a big tire to take advantage of it the max you can put is 245. imagine if you can put a 265 upfront without any modification for 3000lbs car it has to have 265 minimum upfront
Does it FEEL like RWD when it starts to step out though? I've never driven anything like this but have driven FWD cars and induced lift off oversteer on purpose and it's not quite the same, even at speed on a wide track where there is plenty of run off it just sort of feels like you're along for the ride until the front pulls you out of it.
No, not at all like RWD. It's a somewhat unnatural feeling as you need steering angle and throttle to keep it in the drift and will correct itself if any of those are missing.
@@dacmm So it's not really a tradition drift then? Basically cause the computer to recognize too much steering angle and throttle, then rather than cutting power like TCS would, it helps you keep power down without spinning out. I'm not sure what that is, but it seems kind of pointless and is more of a demonstration of a powerful AWD system than being actually useful. If you want to drift, go RWD, if you want to go fast, don't slide it to the point the computer starts literally driving the car lol.
Can you please drive a 2023 VW TIGUAN R at the ring please MISCHA?! .It has the same engine and tune and more importantly it has the same torque vectoring system as well . Would really love to see how it performs and your thoughts on it being such a close cousin of the mk8 R . A tuned one would be even better!
That car does NOT look like it's RWD. The rears want to hook up all the time, every time. Your instructor was just really good at throwing the car around, doing something the car intrinsically did not want to do.
Mischa, would it shock you to know that knowing how to drift is a basic test to pass a driver's license in Sweden? Icy roads up there, you need to know how to handle them. At least it used to be back in my day. These days they might rely more on the cars' systems.
22:21 You know its getting serious when the rear wiper comes on for no reason at all! 😆👍
4:02 Classic - turned on steering heating :D
when I first got my golf I did this so many mf times lmao the button is so sensitive for being on the steering wheel
Misha, You NEED to make a video with a professional Drifter where you finally learn how to drift, this would be so cool !

Would really love to see how it performs and your thoughts on it being such a close cousin of the mk8 R . A tuned one would be even better!
what drives better those or I30N as Trackcar ?
I30n sux
How does the GTI clubsport compare to the Honda Civic Type R?
I need that TShirt sir
That car does NOT look like it's RWD. The rears want to hook up all the time, every time. Your instructor was just really good at throwing the car around, doing something the car intrinsically did not want to do.
It is not not rwd. it can be 50/50 front and rear and then send 100 of the 50 to one side of the rear axel.
no ship my dude
Congrats, you just realized that AWD is not RWD. You'll probably be the first person to get a pulitzer price, nobel price and an oscar all at once.
I love Benny 😂. Such an enthusiastic driver
Impressive 🎉
Mischa, would it shock you to know that knowing how to drift is a basic test to pass a driver's license in Sweden? Icy roads up there, you need to know how to handle them. At least it used to be back in my day. These days they might rely more on the cars' systems.
Misha you said the best front wheel driven car factory...best than a civic?
No, Misha. Only YOU can drift with a Golf
When did the 8.5 come out?
19:51 parking sensor goes off for no reason. Brand new VW product already broken😂
