Unconvincing given in every other test I’ve seen the GTD is quicker and the GTE is 200kgs heavier. The GTE is a great choice for short or city journeys but the good old fashion GTD is likely to be the better option if you do a lot of miles.
GTE Might Be Faster In The First Mile But If we Are talking About in the 3rd or 4th mile Than GTD Takes The Win And who was Driving the Gtd An Elephant??
@@bunnyp9029 Excuse me, electric cars are certainly NOT the future. There is plenty of life left in petrol and diesel cars. Not to mention the self charging hybrids that Toyota and Honda have. The demand for full hybrids has increased a lot.
@@bunnyp9029 VW has ICE in it's blood. Ive had a GTD. Currently got a GTE. GTE is MUCH quicker lol. I was actually surprised how sharper and quicker it is. I assumed it was going to be similar. I've smoked a lot of GTDs haha. Plus, the GTE is so much cooler. Every GTD owner looks at a GTE and secretly wants one, but won't admit to it.
On paper the two are closely matched for performance but the extra weight of the GTE just gives the GTD the edge. The GTD will hit 62mph from rest in 7.5 seconds while the GTE takes 7.6. Equally, the GTE’s 138mph top speed is 5mph short of the GTD’s. Not sure who was driving the GTD, an Elephant maybe?
The GTE is much faster than on paper. If you look around for information on how it performs on the dyno you can see it's got a higher HP than official figures state. My theory is that they didn't want the GTE to look as impressive as the other models. I have one myself and because of the electric motor I'm always the first one away from a set of traffic lights :)
Can't make the hybrid one faster than the original GTI otherwise buyers would get annoyed, although they could easily make a GTE R model that would be rapid.
À bon ptdr l'essence et aussi fort e tle moteur électrique et plus endurant que un diesel tous simplement pourquoi le moteur électrique a moins d epiece en mouvement donc plus fiable le diesel et plus cher en assurance justement à cause des pièce en plus donc plus complexe égal moins fiable et les diesel on perdu de leur solidité et sérieux la gtd berk une gt diesel l'hybride elle la explose la gtd gte c'c'est une gti plaisir économique mais sa fait pas un bruit de tracteur affreux
@@cedric.... bien d'accord, puis en terme de resistance, y'a aussi le moteur électrique qui soulage le thermique dans beaucoup de situations, reprises, les accelerations à basses vitesses, départ arrêté, bref tous les cas où le thermique est moins à l'aise (et consomme le + en fait). Du coup, je pense pas qu'il force beaucoup le TSI de la GTE
It's Manual. Check the plate. A bit biased, I've got a DSG GTD and stock it's 6.5 seconds with launch control. I can tell you from owning one too that the GTD there wasn't using launch control either.
So, Vindis do annoying stickers under badges and poor videos. Good to know.
GTE beat GTD
Oh no GTD was a quickly GTE 🎉 fast than GTD HE Was😢 I can’t ❤be GTD GTE winet

I have owned both and i can tell gte is faster
me too. And much smoother@@joonapuro8055

What kind of drivers have you found here? Pressing the brake during a drag race 😂🤣
1:57 I see both brakelights go on. why? Oo
Bullshit, in reality the GTD is 3 tenth’s quicker to 62mph than a GTE due to the increased weight not being offset by the extra 20 bhp.
Thats not true
@@RSaddiction Unfortunately, it is. If Electric cars are the future why would VW post incorrect figures showing the GTD to be quicker?

Also, a lot of car reviewers state the GTE is 7.1 to 60. VW fudged the figures.

GTE makes under 7 seconds depends on battery level
GTD’s run a few tenths faster than the heavier GTE in most cases. This test was fudged to suit the narrative.
@@Crazyblox yeah true the same with the audi a3 e tron its between 6.6 and 7 seconds
VW fudged the figures. GTE is 7.1 to 60. It's faster than the GTD.
The gtd is normally faster because the gte is way more heavy so i think its just the driver who sucks
Get on a gte and then u talk
This is the truth, GTD is 3 tenths quicker to 62 and the lead only gets bigger as speed increases.
pedrox1117 i dont need an gte i have a gtd😉
GTD is a good car Almost looks like a gte but way slower. But sure is a good car for EGOS.👍
pedrox1117 you just made a joke of yourself with that comment.
Yes ...the GTE is better....is it for sale...
That GTD revving sounds like someone drowning a donkey in a bath tub full of ping pong balls.
Why braking the GTD in minit 1.58 ?? This is a drag race ?!?
omg best drivers ever heh
Fucking drama for nothing
make comparison with 2.0 TSI 228 kW you will see the difference :-D

@@FrozenDung but these are both aimed at company car drivers
do you believe in it after diesel gate?
La GTD est la meilleure à long terme endurante est résistant sur les longs trajet je lance un défi à soulever? je suis prêt avec pari à l’appui
Jack Daniels super vous êtes détenteur d’une golf GTD? Ce modèle m´intéresse. Qu’en est-il de l’insonorisation s’il vous plaît 🙏

J’ai eu les 2, la gte que j’ai actuellement est beaucoup plus plaisante a conduire et de meilleurs sensations via son moteur bcp plus mélodieux.

1:50 for dragrace - no problemo.
Thx
Thx for saving me time, i can never get back lost time.
The end credits were longer then the entre movie...
InstaBlaster
Thanks, i skipped it
I always said the GTE is the best car they do
At least do a few attempts may be swap drivers too
Hi Mark we did about 20 runs with 4 different drivers and the gte still came out top
Ricky Byrne Well the diesel does run out of steam at higher speeds it’s not for racing . What would you estimate the 0-60mph is
Mark C 0.62 in 7.9 as opposed to 7.6 in the GTE but you are right it's the mid range that's a game changer
Is the GTD also a DSG ? That might explain a lot.
It's Manual. Check the plate. A bit biased, I've got a DSG GTD and stock it's 6.5 seconds with launch control. I can tell you from owning one too that the GTD there wasn't using launch control either.
Who won
The Golf GTE by a long way
great I have one sweet vid by the way
is it on here
No
