BMW M240i v VW Golf R v Civic Type R: DRAG RACE

.............................................................

It’s drag race time!

Mat’s lining up in the latest VW Golf R, and he’s going head-to-head against a BMW M240i & a Honda Civic Type R!

Does the Golf R stand a chance? Let’s check out the stats! It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder which is good for 320hp & 420Nm of torque. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, and it tips the scales at 1,550kg.

The Civic Type R also has a 2-litre 4 cylinder under the bonnet, and its power is almost identical to the Golf, producing 320hp & 400Nm. However, not only is it only front-wheel drive, but it’s also a manual! But at least it’s the lightest car here, at 1,395kg.

Then we have the BMW. It’s housing a 3-litre straight-six engine that can produce 374hp & 500Nm. It’s also equipped with four-wheel drive, but it’s the heaviest car here, at 1,690kg!

So how will it play out - will the BMW’s weight prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

I want a 6 Speed Manual Automatic. Sounds fast!

[victordogaru]

I'd much rather pay the extra 3 grand for the 240i and have a six cylinder engine than the golf R

I love these videos. Only thing is the Type R was never built for a straight line race, it excels on track with incredible handling, braking and torque once it’s up and running.

1.12.... a manual 6 speed automatic gearbox eh.... Sounds awesome!

[nkosilathisibanda]

So the rumors are true, Honda has been secretly working on a manual 6 speed automatic gear box 😂😂😂

[TheToha]

As a BMW fanboy, I'm very happy with this race

[Lebaaaa]

Matt we need a series where you go around a track for testen, that would be amazing

[schip]

That new "wheel drive" animation indication is really cool. I loved it.

[officialhcdesign]

Can't wait for the new Civic Type R and M2. They are going to be such beasts in different ways

CTR useless off the line but the lack of weight tells in the brake test and also how it flows down a road and changes direction. That's why it beat the A45s in evo's test.

@Mat great video. How about a race around a circuit to give the Honda a fighting chance?

[neilwatson]

Tell us Matt about the Honda”s “ Manual 6 speed automatic gearbox” . Sounds interesting😂😂

I always hear ur name " I'm Emma watson here from Carwow" 😅

Great performance from the Type R. Best braking and top notch from 3rd gear pull… so all things happening in real life are performed superb for a great value price ratio….

[jimmyglea]

I’ve been waiting for a video like this! My Golf R is about a month out and I’ve literally watched ALL the Internet about it. Thanks guys! Now…I hope she wins!

[gingerjacaranda]

Frankly I'm shocked that Golf R lasted until the end without being stolen and written off.
