Audi S1 vs Golf R 7 Illegal DRAGRACE
|In this video you will watch an illegal dragrace on public roads between an Audi S1 vs Golf R 7.
Both car’s are stock and the dragrace happens between 20 and 200 km/h, 2 Passengers in the Golf 7R and 1 Driver in the Audi S1.
As the video description on YouTube says Audi S1 driver misshifts in 5th Gear during dragrace.
Audi S1
An evolution of the original A1 Quattro, the new S1 is priced at €29,950 (including tax), significantly less than its limited-edition predecessor. That doesn’t turn it into a bargain: To put it into perspective, the S1 still costs €1275 more than the current Volkswagen GTI, which is larger and powered by the same 2.0-liter EA888 engine. But as a lifestyle minicar coming from a premium brand and fitted with somewhat luxurious appointments, it doesn’t have to be cheap.
The S1’s TFSI engine huffs air through a single turbocharger that provides up to 20.3 psi of boost. It is rated at 231 horsepower (available at 6000 rpm) and 273 lb-ft of torque (from 1600 to 3000 rpm). By comparison, the A1 Quattro’s older EA113 engine made 256 horsepower but only 258 lb-ft of torque. The S1’s redline is marked at 6500 rpm.
Packaging constraints prevented Audi engineers from putting the company’s wet-dual-clutch automatic into the S1, so the only transmission is—blessedly—a slick-shifting six-speed manual. The all-wheel-drive system transmits engine torque to the front or all four wheels depending on road conditions and driver input; up to 50 percent can be directed toward the rear axle. It’s also possible to induce oversteer and keep the S1 in a controlled drift, which is rad.
Base price: 25,168 Euro
Engine Type: turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve inline-4, aluminum block and cylinder head, port and direct fuel injection
Transmission: 6-speed manual transmission
Power: 231 hp @ 6000 rpm
Golf R 7
If you love the Golf GTI but crave more power, check out the Golf R—it, too, is a 10Best winner. The R is an all-out performance model with a 292-hp turbo 2.0-liter four, all-wheel drive, a sport suspension, 18-inch wheels, and a six-speed manual. A six-speed automatic with launch control is optional. In our testing, the automatic was faster to 60 mph than the manual by 0.7 second. Standard features include satellite radio, heated seats, keyless entry with push-button start, and Bluetooth.
The R is the chief of a sprawling Volkswagen Golf tribe, joining most of its family members on Car and Driver’s 10Best Cars list, and is the hottest Golf ever to prowl U.S. roads. The Golf R gives VW hot-hatchback parity with the Ford Focus RS and a formidable weapon against the soon-to-arrive Honda Civic Type R. The structure is exceptionally rigid, something the R shares with the rest of the family. Amplified by the standard Haldex all-wheel-drive system (dubbed 4MOTION by VW’s marketers), overall grip is exceptional and approaches the magic 1.00-g threshold. Braking is close to sports-car levels, and power from the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder is abundant, peaking at 292 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
Base price: R, $36,475; R with DCC and Navigation, $40,195
Engine Type: turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve inline-4, iron block and aluminum head, direct fuel injection
Transmission: 6-speed manual, 6-speed dual-clutch automatic with manual shifting mode
Power: 292 hp @ 5400 rpm
