The new Volkswagen Golf 8 R is bound to be a sales success around the world but how does it stack up against its direct competitors like the BMW M135i xDrive and Mercedes-AMG A35?
YouTuber, Archie Hamilton Racing has put together a video showing the capabilities of all three cars, but as the title suggests, there is a very clear winner.
On paper these are three very closely matched cars but we all know that theory does not always translate into reality.
As a reminder, all cars pack a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine with the Golf R delivering 235 kW and 430 Nm while the BMW sends out 225 kW and 450 Nm and the Merc 225 kW and 400 Nm.
