Reaction time was on point 😂... Easier when it’s not my car 🤦🏽‍♂️

I know that M140i isn't the sharpest and the most focused hot hatch on sale, but it's certainly the most unique. RWD, inline-6 engine, great noise and it comes with a manual gearbox. Shame that next one will be FWD...

Yanni losing to the S3, “hate losing” killed me! 😂😂😂😂😂

[ga]

It’s not even an rs3, just an S model damn

[hardcorehardo]

The BMW wins for me for having a straight 6 and rwd that's very cool for the class

[SRanj]

Yianni's reaction when the S3 passes him is hillarious! LMAO

[TRHamza]

Always said the facelift S3 is rapid, finally a video to show it. Miss mine now 😂

[stormdancer]

The BMW for me… the only one with a straight six, rear wheel drive and available with a manual transmission 😍🙏🏼

[BataLeonOnline]

That S3 was quick! Looks wicked in yellow too.

[stayslickwithkit]

No word of a lie, I was undecided which car I was gonna get then I watched this...

Now I own an Audi S3 Black edition.

[lucassocci]

BMW in line 6 + RWD is just a RARE masterpiece nowadays

[ellypsis]

The S3 and the Golf drivers took so much time to react the launch...

[yasassrijayawardena]

You know car gets extra horsepower when Yianni says "cmon"

[jozhfy]

now add an R to the S3 and see what happens lol

[ixtynine]

Rolling acceleration is where it truly reveals which car is really the faster car in the real world on highways and autobahns.

[Harryarku]

Who else guessed that Yianni was the guest driver? 😆

[psk]

It would be much nicer if you show a transparent table that lists all cars with their important specs, i.e., hp and weight.

[slantblant]

The S3 and the Golf R have the same engine, but the European version of the S3 has more HP.

This is entertainment, guys...not a scientific comparison. 😁😜😂 Stay cool✌️
