There are so many variables in 0-62 or 100-200kph, the car that everyone is referring to on Officially Gassed channel is also a Development car of ours which ran 3.03 recorded on camera and 2.97 off camera if you have watched the video. The fact that we have been running this car during winter and testing on wet roads is a challenge, but we are hoping to see a high 2.XX in 0-62 once the weather starts to clear a little or we can get Luke's car to a prepped drag strip. Everyone is comparing this to an RS3 which is obviously going to be a faster car in some scenarios based off the % of power difference being that it is a 2.5l 5 Pot vs a 2.00 4 Pot, both hyperhatches but on paper, it is slightly redundant comparing apples and oranges. Not to mention we have not finished tuning the TCU yet, this will be done by the end of Jan and then we will get some finalised figures. Thanks Yousif EST Performance
Stunning car and an amazing build, 3.19 seconds on a cold back road is something! Ignore the hate Luke as these people probably don’t have anything worth shouting about! I look forward to the next video!
No hate about it. That's an over-reaction. Why do ppl get so deeply offended easily. There are quicker tuned A45S's out there, maybe only by a fraction of a second, but thats still quicker..😊
Yes it's around half the time of a stock rs3 100-200kmh and over a second quicker in 1/4 mile. So much quicker than a stock rs3 after you get off the line. Not all about 0-60's as much fun as it is. (Stock RS3 11-12sec 100-200kmh and 12-12.5 Sec 1/4 mile) No idea on the cost of such a thing. Not much hardware tho it's mainly been software and since he's letting them use it as a dev car can't assume they're charging much labor.
Cars looking well and ul get a lot better times Once road temp go above 7 degrees your tyres will grip a lot better for the launches for sure as summer tyres dont do grip as well in cold temps
Someone, somewhere in UK, as probably already fitted a hybrid turbo or a new one on those a45s. With a stock turbo, your record will not hold long ^^ Looks and sounds faaast none the less !!! Cheers from FR.
All this needs now is a twin scroll borg warner efr turbo... they have amazing power curves... next to 0 lag and come internally waste gated. That would be the perfect turbo upgrade 👌
@@thehomelessproject3784 to be fair, most have a large footprint especially b2 size and they are somewhat sensitive to over spinning due to ductility of gamma ti . Still, the responsiveness and broad power range is to me very good especially for fast Street builds.
Also availability but once you get your hands on one it's very hard to go to something else. Though, I'd like to try their new S200sx-r for a high power build
@NelsonSakwa ahh fair point, I do think if a lot of these golf r... a45 2.0 litre 4 pot builds switched over to the efr they'd notice a huge difference.. I know Litchfield use them on their r35 GTR builds, and there are some r34 GTRs with them on... would you rate them better than garret and precision ? I think precisions overall you get higher peak hp output but might lose drivability ?
Whats with all the hate?? Dont get me wrong iv made the off comments but only about lukes attire… Hes a youtuber who actually puts out different content from the usual lowering springs and spacers. Get a grip people
Great cars had 2 of these, shame that all that money spent and back seats removed and still slower than Joe Achilles’s managed 3 years ago just with a remap. His times were to 100kph too
Have to say it’s entertaining to watch ! But unfortunately 🤦♂️ I don’t think this car is going to last if it’s driven like this much longer ! 🤦♂️. Good luck anyway Luke !! 👍👍
Rs3 stock is about 0-60 is 3.8sec and what people forgetting that the Audi on a rolling race very laggy and the amg is not so in reality they both the same
Y people mention the Audi rs3 the new one is the same power but have 40 nm toque over this this is y the Audi is faster of the line but rolling race the amg is faster due to be very laggy on the rs3

Once you go big turbo the car will be slower off the line. CPC no matter what u do more torque you make it will make the car slower off the line if you upgrade the turbo. AMGs should never go over stage 2 for this reason because it’s a waste of money u will have 1000HP and it’s slower than stock turbo at 600hp
Couldn’t agree more - happened to me Total opposite with Audi’s though - RS3’s get mental with even a hybrid turbo - full frame then that is downright nuts and will smoke nearly anything from a dig or a roll
So many bitter people in the comments 😂 Would love to know what they all drive… then I’d love to know what they drive that they actually own, not finance. Wouldn’t be left with much. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Awesome Luke. Love to see further development of this car with the TCU now unlocked. Kudos for taking on this project.
It's amazing what a modern 4 cylinder is capable of, crazy power! Renntech even push this engine to 600hp with their stage 3 package.
Incredible but I don’t believe it’s healthy for the engine
This car Defo needs to be on the OG battles! Will be super interesting
Wouldn’t a stage 2 require intercooler ? Would probably help with the heat soak
Yep or even meth injection...
The DCT shifts so fast now with that tune, it would be nice if AMG included that tune from factory (at least in Race mode).
One of these fully specced with a stage 1 remap and a upgraded exhaust would be the perfect hothatch for me!! 👌
They’re great even stock!
Really interesting journey this is. Although Cooling mods are badly needed! Be good to see how far you take this.
Definitely needed!
That’s minted mate your cars are much better without crazy wraps on them hats off you have a belter there 👍
What a beast of a hatch. What a great total package, I would be scared to line it up with that car in any other hatch.

Mate - if you make a claim, it better be true and it is not true
Is it that hard to understand?
This A45s of mercedes is definitely a couple steps up from the previous, basic bolt ons and almos a 10s car
Question and be honest please. What expense have you gone to get these figures and is it really worth it?. Not much quicker than a stock RS3 🤔

@@LARGE_COKE half the time? my ass. where did it do a 6.5s 100-200?
@@VuBeClanhe put the time up at 7.1 100-200 from before this new tune so it’s probably a little quicker now I never said 6.5s tho lol.
@@VuBeClan either way I’d have an RS3 over this 😂
Think we’re see more of these about now the 2020 models are below 40k, I think that’s around price they shud be new imo
yeah agree a over priced merc
You have no idea! @@Thug76
Cool video, I'd expected it to be much quicker. Your golf R ran sub 4 secs stock!
Was that downhill ! Sub 4 not a chance
That launch is insane 🚀
It’s a great car bro, can we race it with my RS3
rs3 GONNA win
Still waiting for the follow up video..😊

No lies have have witnessed and seen faster theres a guy called Joey45 and his is the quickest going
are you not worried about longevity of the engine now that its being pushed so hard?

There is 1 hybrid turbo car in the UK, built by EST too. My car is faster with the original turbo fitted + TCU tune…
Do engine swap for quad turbo bugatii engine
I can tell that's seriously fast
All this needs now is a twin scroll borg warner efr turbo... they have amazing power curves... next to 0 lag and come internally waste gated. That would be the perfect turbo upgrade 👌

Crazy back in my day hot hatches had 150bhp and did sixty in 7s
I had a 1.6 Civic VTi, 165bhp, 0-60 in 7.2 if I recall. Loved that car so much!
Wow that is rapid so addictive
That will leave my mk5 R32 in its dust
Look forward to seeing the new mods & maps
Thank you

Is the engine temp sensor properly connected 😅
I know ytou had your Golf on Misha Charoudin channel, but now its time to get this beast on there!
Sorry but 7 seconds 100-200 is slow AF! My M4 is pulling 5.6 on draggy.
Definitely not the uks fastest,stop the 🧢
Love these cars...and apart from the backseat delete you done some good things re this car...👌🏿please dont make it undrivable like the bmw 1 series.
Well done.
cant even get sub 3 sec with 4wd and 500 horse lol
Why so serious? 😁😁
Dont think so bruh!
it is visibly quick!!! it’s so fast!!!

Bro is fighting for his life in the comments 😂😂😂
It’s definitely not the fastest. The fastest was made by a company local to me called DynoTechRS in Faringdon Oxfordshire.
Let's jump to over 600 hp!! New turbo incoming?!
just isnt possible on these yet, a45s with upgraded turbos are only pushing 525-550 at the moment, a bit of a shame really.
Incorrect now the TCU can be mapped. These should sit at around that power on a stock turbo with a TCU tune - update video to follow in due course
a water meth kit and some weight shedding and you will be golden!
would be nice to see how far a stock turbo can get this car before going bigger.
not a hot hatch.
this is super hatch
Can't wait to see the results of the re-tune Luke after the TCU unlock as I want to fo something similar on my A45S 😊

Me too! Thanks for watching!

Just in case you guys didn't hear, this is the UK' FASTEST 🥴
Fastest means 100-200kph times. All you lot making hate comments most definitely don’t have a 500hp A45s to play with😂😂😂
