Drag and roll races between the Audi RS3, A45 AMG, Civic Type R, Golf R, and Focus RS

[Sticky]

This is your new class of hot hatchbacks. All of them are turbocharged but there are differences among them. For one, the RS3 has the largest motor with a 2.5 liter I5 and it also has the most power. It shows. None of these other cars can hang with it.

The A45 AMG of course is all wheel drive with a dual clutch transmission and a 2.0 liter turbocharged M133 powerplant. Producing 381 horsepower it is the most powerful production four-cylinder on the planet.

The Golf R is also all wheel drive with a dual clutch transmission and a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder but the engine is much, much weaker. Good thing it responds well to tuning.

The Focus RS does not offer a dual clutch transmission but is manual only because it is a driver's car. So what if it isn't the fastest? It is the enthusiast's choice.

There is also the Civic Type R which is a Honda boy racer's dream. With 306 horsepower and front wheel drive it does not fair well in the drag race.

Let's take a look at the results.

1. RS3 - 12.2
2. A45 - 12.9

No trap speeds as usual and racing in the wet so the all wheel drive cars were favored but it is what it is.
