@@VR6Boki There are more differences in this case. Driver body weight. Car weight. Transmission gear ratio's. Cupra has less torque. Power-Torque curve. Aerodynamics (cupra is a crossover SUV). All these factors combined can massively change the outcome.

I don't know if it's the same in Germany, but here in Switzerland we can 'modify' the car to have 20% more power without the need for other mods, you just have to announce it to the authorities. And I think that's why ABT mods for the formentor don't go above 370hp. My formentor had 329hp stock instead of the 310, and gearbox and stage 1 engine remap got me 392hp and 502Nm, with the redline being slightly higher in the RPM range and gears shiting a bit more adequately according to peak HP and torque. Holds quite well against b9 rs4 and far outperforms any stock 300-350hp cars out there Pretty fun 'family' car to drive (lowered -35mm)!
The ABT tuned cars have a safety feature when everything gets hot, and puts power back to normal power. It’s a warranty thing at a guess, so it’s a bit of a scam since you’ll only get the 370bhp for a short period of time..
However soon coming to the uk market is the Cupra Formentor 2.5 tfsi from the RS3. Also to me I would say the ABT tuning box is malfunctioning and probably isn't running 370 on a consistent level.
Dear Matt - it is not called A-B-T it is a lastname of a Family called Abt (in english an Abt is an Abbot) the Family is Baased in Bavaria at te Alps and is a very well known Familycompany known for tuning VW, Audi and all of its rekatives ;-) But als for professional Motorsport and professional Drivers. - one of them is Daniel Abt who is also a very well known content creator in the car industry.
Don't know if it was made clear here but this seems to be the first generation Formentor 310 VZ with the ABT sport package, (engine tuning to the claimed 370 hp, Akrapovich exhaust, 20 inch rims, carbon fibre seats, lowered suspesion and a couple more small things I can't recall) but without dsg box upgrade ( which is probably why the S3 was quicker with the new 333 hp version engine and, which as well is fitted now on the 2nd gen Formentor VZ). This is the ABT version offered only in UK (to somehow fill the gap of the VZ5 not been offered in UK) for an extra 15 thousand on top of the 46 thousand tag price of the Formentor, so the 61 thousand. It should have been made clear by Matt that this price of 61 thousand refers to the specific Formentor with the ABT package. Obviously this ABT package is only about a very moderate engine upgrade (costing abt 2500 if purchased alone through a dealer) and more about the Akrapovich (for sound mainly and looks) the carbon fibre seats, the 20 inch black rims (i.o. the 19 inch diamond cut factory) and the lowered suspension by about 1.5 cm (that means springs only which you can also individually purchase for abt 300-400, if not mistaken). The DCC remains factory. Really a package not worth at all the money spent, especially when the dsg box is not tuned, but who am I to say?
Same story with the ABT ‘tuned’ Leon Cupra R ST’s Many owners had the tuning boxes removed and a ‘proper’ ecu tune and the difference is night and day, myself included. ABT tuning boxes are good for probably one pull, then heat soak and temps build up and power is dialled back.

It's not a seat kid. It's a cupra, same as lexus for toyota and genesis for hyundai. Learn the difference. Audi is lame and boring to look at compared to any cupra. Plus cupra drives better
Even a Seat drives better than an Audi these days, when you put them side by side 😂 And they’re 10 times more reliable. Talking as someone who had cars from both brands and was an Audi fanboy at a young age. The world has changed, the only reason we don’t see only Chinese cars on streets is because they are banned through taxes. But look at Korean brands. From cheap alternatives, they are replacing now, models from respected brands, and are doing this all over the world. Those like you who only like a brand because of its name and reputation, are the last hope of these big lazy b*******. They need to work on innovation, not abuse of reputation, if they want to keep up.
It's simple. As the speed increases, the importance of aerodynamics also increases, and the Seat has a larger frontal area, and the Cx, I think, is also worse.
Maybe a little bit too late to react but the rolling race “sporty” wasn’t in sport/cupra mode while Matt was driving from 2nd gear. You can see the “comfort “ icon on his screen in the top right corner. That would explain the performance difference.

Even I'm dumbfounded on this drag race! It appears that both the S3's lightness and turbo boost worked in its favour over the Cupra's 60bhp advantage, including the weight disadvantage. The Law of Physics played out here with quite some vengeance!
The inconsistency problem you are seeing here is most likely the piggyback tune causing detonation. The ecu sees that and pulls some timing. That makes it even slower than it would be stock. That is why a real ECU flash is better than a piggyback 100% every single time.
The ABT tune is dynamic. If the car overheats or does something that it thinks puts the engine at risk it will revert to the cars ecu. On a cold start it will slowly increment the power. Feel this is potentially what was happening in some way…
Audi's hp is underrated, Cupra's hp is overrated. The Audi is a bit faster due to lower wind resistance. But the difference is so small, so Yainni's extra weight can be a deciding factor.

The world has changed, the only reason we don’t see only Chinese cars on streets is because they are banned through taxes. But look at Korean brands. From cheap alternatives, they are replacing now, models from respected brands, and are doing this all over the world. Those like you who only like a brand because of its name and reputation, are the last hope of these big lazy b*******. They need to work on innovation, not abuse of reputation, if they want to keep up.

@@أحمدخالد-ص4ع4غ They are basically the same car
@@booxwee3804 its just a mk6 golf . save money
I will call him M.A.T. from now on
Ha!
Yianni's Turkey teeth increased the wind drag!😅
£61k for that car is crazy. Worst way to spend that amount of money.
“that 40 brake aint gonna help ya”😭😭
The weight of the two cars is almost the same, but the Mat is lighter than the Yanimas, so the Cupra is ahead of the Audi.
The tuner is ABT and it´s pronounced as one word, it´s a name, the name of the dude that owns it, Abt.
Formentor sounds good without the akrapovic exhaust also.
his smile was so bright I had to turn back the brightness of the monitor
I can’t believe the Audi beat the Audi, I mean Golf R, I mean Seat Leon, I mean Skoda VRS
Yanni lost in both cars😂
He needs to do more running races 🗿🗿
weight difference between matt and yianni
It's simple. As the speed increases, the importance of aerodynamics also increases, and the Seat has a larger frontal area, and the Cx, I think, is also worse.
That’s why we say “it’s not the car, it’s the driver” lmaoooo
£61000!!!!
It is called Abt, as a name, not EY BEE TEE! In germany we say: "Hömma da ham se unsre sprache und namen verunglimpft."
When are you finally doing a drag race with the Cupra formentor VZ5?😅
There’s a Vin Diesel quote abt what’s happening here that i forgot abt😂😂😂has something to do with the driver not the car🙆🏽♂️😂
When Toretto said this.. Its not bout your car..its about who is behind the wheels..this proof toretto words..
Come to Texas so I can race that ABT with my 034 Golf 👀👀👀
matt has my dream job , but he is so good at it. fair play mathew. also good job for once again
Everytime Yianny says he going to win or Mat is going to lose he ends up losing every single time 😅😅😅😂😂😂
im a simple man i watch carwow dragrace i skip the boring part intro and go straight to the drag
Maybe a little bit too late to react but the rolling race “sporty” wasn’t in sport/cupra mode while Matt was driving from 2nd gear. You can see the “comfort “ icon on his screen in the top right corner. That would explain the performance difference.
I know Yian is no dwarf, but hell you don’t want him sat next to you on a drag, sorry Yian 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enfinnnn ... Un changement de conducteur ... ✅
Je regarde et apprécie énormément vos vidéos depuis un moment mais deux choses sont importantes : le poids 🤏🏽
Et surtout la réaction du pilote et sa façon d'appuyer sur la pédale va faire ou non, déraper la voiture par la suite ...
C'est moins impactant qd la voiture est déjà lancée, d'où e fait qu'il gagne après ...🤓
Allez j'arrête mon analyse de "pas pro" et je retourne dans ma Mondeo hybrid 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the look of the Cupra, wish we had them in the US!
Even I'm dumbfounded on this drag race! It appears that both the S3's lightness and turbo boost worked in its favour over the Cupra's 60bhp advantage, including the weight disadvantage. The Law of Physics played out here with quite some vengeance!
The inconsistency problem you are seeing here is most likely the piggyback tune causing detonation. The ecu sees that and pulls some timing. That makes it even slower than it would be stock. That is why a real ECU flash is better than a piggyback 100% every single time.
Sometimes it's all about the man behind the wheel😂😂😂
Yianni is the funniest guy alive 😂 😂
The ABT tune is dynamic. If the car overheats or does something that it thinks puts the engine at risk it will revert to the cars ecu. On a cold start it will slowly increment the power. Feel this is potentially what was happening in some way…
Audi's hp is underrated, Cupra's hp is overrated. The Audi is a bit faster due to lower wind resistance. But the difference is so small, so Yainni's extra weight can be a deciding factor.
You guys are the closest thing we have to OG top gear.
About to buy one of these cupra formentors aswell 😂👍🏽
