The F70 BMW M135 is down on power and torque from the F40 M135i with a different gear box. So this wasnt a surprise. I guess it depends on how they would have brought back the M140i. The last model was a different class i.e not 4cyl + 2 litre like the rest, and it was rear wheel in the UK, which may have struggled in the test. They may have ruined the M140i, if they had brought that back too, as I'd have expected that to compete against the RS3 and A45

It's because the Golf R has always been VW's performance flagship and they're never gonna let another car on the same platform be faster than it, even if they have the same performance on paper
@@jimjamthebananaman1 As someone who was considering both the S3 and the R, I got the feeling that Audi intentionally left room between the S3 and the RS3. VW doesn't have to do that. Ended up ordering an R (coming from an Audi TTS).

The A35 has a mild hybrid system which adds about 16hp and is instant power while the turbos spool up. It’s also the lightest so that’ll be why it wins away from the line.
The Mercedes A35 personally looks the best. It also has an electric motor attached to the engine that’s why it always shoots off the line so quick ! It gives about 320 hp with the motor. Still a good race though, great daily driver as well.
@@pprobahe was talking about the new 48V MHEV system which brings a 14hp belt driven starter generator (still not the mentioned 20hp though and only available with the facelift as shown in the video). You can read that within the engine specifics on AMGs website. However, the 48V system only supports during dynamic/instationary situations like e.g. take off, load changes etc through boosting and recuperating. The stationary and total power output is still 225kW as in the prefacelift version (only ICE power)
4 tail pipes on a golf...oh and the audi too...ok and the bmw. Only merc resisted the urge to go daft mode on he exhaust tip count with a 4 cylinder. The R32 golfs looked perfect with dual tips closer to he middle and they should've stuck with it.
I think VAG makes the golf R a little bit faster than the S3 to help sales, since the Golf R is supposed to be the fun, loud version and that's why the pre-facelift versions had the Golf R come in with more power than the S3 - that has not changed I think.
There is an A45s parked right outside on my street. I love me some Audi. But even the facelift RS3 doesn't look as desirable inside and out as the A35 and A45s. Merc really smashed the hot hatch segment in terms of design and asthetics, Audi second with the BMW, strangely, looking the most subdued.
@nedialkosimonov3893 it's either it weights 2.5t or they downsize the engine like Merc did. Unfortunately, car manufacturers have no control over regulations. It's governments fault. They don't care about fun. But it's a total rip off that we pay significantly more for cars that are more complicated and less fun than the cars of yesteryear.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how far turbo 4 cylinders have come? The Audi B8.5 S4 had a supercharged 3.0 V6 and produced 333hp. Fast forward a few years and we get that from a turbo 4 cylinder from the same company.
@@DeanoM3 very important to add that part, warranty Cos I'll rather own a used C63 with a 6.2V8 than a 2.0 4pot AMG if it means I'm paying for maintenance.
7:00 I might be wrong, but from what I remember Audi only put drift mode one the RS3, because they say the S3 is not a “racing” car (It lacks the R on it’s name to have the drift option)
Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought drifting was not the most efficient way to get around turns during a race (except for dedicated drift cars)? I think Audi just did that to have a reason for the RS3 to have a WAY higher price tag than the S3.
Crazy thing is Dodge Viper did the quarter mile in 12.7s a few days ago, and now we have Golf with almost the same drag time - in wet!. Crazy times we live in...
The Mercedes logic says should be better value for money as its more luxurious with a better interior. Even if the Golf swept them all. However, in my country, Cyprus, the AMG is cheaper without options. This makes me happy to know that Hyundai beat all of them with the i30N 😂

The current hot hatch market is pretty depressing. Currently only 2 on sale that aren't 4wd, (4 if you count the new minis and octavia vrs as a hot hatch) but there still the same. Golf gti and cupra Leon All 2 litre, 4wd and 300 ish bhp. Bring back smaller, lighter hot hatches with manuals

How about a Top Gear style Special across Britain or some place with Matt, Yanni & Sam? It would be quite entertaining and there’s a gap waiting to be filled now.
Golf R is the king of hot hatches. Got my self the mk 7 R and with a stage 2 its an insane fast car. It eats a lot of performance cars with dubble the price of a golf

Not long time ago I did a test drive with a Golf 8R which was stage 1 at 400 bhp and 515 Nm.
This would be similar like a stage 2 Golf 7R . The car is fast but it feels like the engine is only 2L.
At the end I did not buy the Golf 8R.
A better choice I guess it would be the BMW M140i or the best one would be a Golf 7R or 8R with the 2.5 L engine from the Audi RS3.
A35 looks best but also very vast compared to golf and audi because those have more horsepower
