March 25, 2016 – They’re three of the fastest hatchbacks ever created, but there’s no equal when it comes to racing, only one winner.
Volkswagen’s Golf R is blessed with 300 horsepower, while the Mercedes A45 AMG makes 380 horsepower. Both of the German cars feature a dual-clutch transmission, unlike the 350-hp Ford Focus RS that benefits from a manual gearbox. The three cars have one thing in common: all-wheel drive.
The Mercedes holds a clear advantage in terms of power, but will that translate into a win on the drag strip? Find out in the video on Top Gear’s website.
