Mk7 Golf GTI v Mk4 R32: DRAG RACE

🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

Doesn't look like there are 2 camshaft covers on that "V6"

They NEED to add the newer 3.6l V6 in these new gti's ffs. It's in the passat gt but not the gti is bananas to me. They used to share it back in mk3 days with the 3.2l vr6.

i'm not a fan of golf but the R32 is a classic, beautiful tribute to Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear and the Grand Tour ! !

Matt just has to win!!!!

R32 Anytime😊

This is making me laugh out loud for real. Allot of my colleques in the Netherlands are from South Africa and we all love our Golfs. Last time with the VW post i laughed when i saw all the South Africans reply. Specially because they told me how all their friends loved all the GTI's. Now theres another post and again i see the South Africans! Greetings my Afrikaans friends!

Gets to show it’s the driver too . He was a tosser of a driver

I was one of the first people to drive an R32 in the UK, very underwhelming car, made a nice noise but typical MK4 Golf chassis and not really that fast.

HAHAHA sam sucks!!!! We want Yanni driving!!!

Just bought a mk4 r32…

Slowly falling in love with it 💙

Just a shame golfs are so boring and souless 👍

Matt Watson can drive, damn!! Pure master of launching cars.

Hold traction control button for 3 sec and launch control will activate

Sam probably worst racing driver on the planet right now.

Where is the break test?

Yay! Awsome video!!! I have the MK 7.5, supporting golf videos!!!

It was so funny Sam about to mock Matt but then he realised he was going to lose🤣🤣

MK4 forever...nostalgic

Matt definitely jumped at that third race

The MK7 GTI is very good it's what i learned from this video👍

kinda warm feeling knowing my car has the same power and number of cylinders are this vr6. back when that was new, my car had like 40% of the power. it does get smoked off the line though because it can't launch and loses a good second and a half from that.

Matt and Sam: the next Top Gear?
Who would be the third guy?

Common RDS, why u surprised after that sleepy 1st start

20+ years on, the mk4 .:R32 for my money is still one of the best reasonably priced performance cars ever made. It's everything a classic drivers car should be and nothing that's unnecessary or excessive. And that exhaust note is one of if not the best stock V6 exhaust notes by a wide margin. One of the very few cars where an exhaust change isn't an upgrade in sound/note.

It was a tremendous race,I have always wanted an R32 or a GTI turbo but chose a Jaguar or an Aston Martin 😂 instead 😉

ive had a couple of mk5 R32s and never get bored of them. might have to own a mk4 one day after seeing this

the R32 its just a legendary car what a beutiful car a great sound it just needed a turbo and it will be unstoppable.

It shows perfect how good cars are back in the days. Im happy to own a MK4 R32 😄

I'm not sure if you have switched off the ESP. After holding down the ESP button, a signal sounds and a message appears saying that the driving aids are deactivated. Only this way the differential lock ist fully active !!!

VR6 best sound great engine ❤

Nick buy some bigger tops dude nearly dropped a nipslip😉🤣

2 absolute beauties wow…

Nice job 💪💯🤝⛽️🚘🚀🔥👍🐐🐎

Tuning can make the traction much better on a mk7 gti. I have custom SP traction control and boost by gear in my is38 gti and it does mid 12s on the street with 540 tw all-seasons. 0-60 in the high 4s with no rollout. That's at 6000 feet elevation too lol

It s a VR6, not a V6

That 15 degrees between the bangs .... Called VRSeeex

vw,German engineers at work

Give me the V6 any day

Matt is always false start

Must be one of the slowest races I have seen.

Damn, I miss my MK4 Gti. Wanted the R32 so badly, but never happened. It needed a few mods, like arb and tuned suspension for better handling then drove really nice. Imo, the last best designed Golf that will continue to beiconic far into the future. Newest Golfs look ok-ish but their design cues simply blend into forgotten time and don't seem them as timeless.
MK1/MK2 and MK4 took them positions.
God that R32 sounds sweet, who cares about speed though does a banging job

Predictably Matt's putting the rolling race result down to torque, when in reality it's probably down to the lower drivetrain losses of the FWD and the fact that the R32 is probably not making anywhere near its original 240bhp.

“Racing” driver Sam

It's a VW so no matter who wins, they both lose.

Excuses excuses just a crap driver😅😅😅
