The Hyundai Veloster N fasts, yet is it comparably quick to the Volkswagen Golf R? There are lots of methods to recognize the solution to that concern, and also drag race is one of them, particularly in a straight-line contrast.
Lining up for this video clip, courtesy of Edmunds, is the Veloster N, the last variation of the nameplate that Hyundai still makes. The competitor is the current version of the Golf R based upon the eighth-generation Golf. Both hot hatches are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger yet the German one has one blazing benefit over the South Korean four-door.
7 Photos Not only that the Golf R is a lot more powerful than the Veloster N, however it’s also all-wheel drive, which means it will certainly have a huge pluck the line during launch. Of note, the Golf R makes 315 horse power(235 kilowatts) and also 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, sent out to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Veloster N
produces up to 275 hp(205 kW) as well as 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of pull, with an 8-speed DCT sending the power to the front axle. It does have an N Grin Shift(NGS )button that increases the torque to 278 lb-ft(377 Nm)for 20 seconds for an included pull. Despite the extra torque, the Golf R’s power as well as AWD advantage is difficult to refute, specifically in this contest. However, the Hyundai has an ace up its sleeve– it’s nearly 300 pounds lighter than the VW.
Can that weight penalty balanced out the power void between both? The video clip needs to address that, which incidentally features a U-drag race– standing start plus a hard U-turn and then a rolling race.
At the end of the day, the Veloster N is also over $10,000 even more budget friendly than the Golf R. That’s a kicker for some individuals.
