Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 Raptor vs Volkswagen Golf 8 R
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 EcoBoost double cab Raptor 4WD outputs a whopping 292 kW and 583 Nm of torque, which is directed to a permanent 4 wheel drive system, making it the most powerful double cap bakkie you can purchase stock in south africa.
Whereas the Volkswagen Golf 8 R has a 2.0 litre engine which develops 235 kW and 400 Nm of torque, it also is equipped with a 4motion all wheel drive system.
A true story of David verses Goliath, but we know how that story ends.
To see how they stack up, TimesLIVE’s motoring team took the two vehicles to the Gerotek test track near Pretoria for a drag race.

It turned out that the drivers' abilities made a difference even when they switched cars.
Whoever thought of this race must not be allowed to suggest ideas again.
They just showing us how the raptor is it done well even tho it lost for a bakkie its good
@@gavinjacobs2343 I hear you and I understand that. But to be more explicit, the Golf R demolished the Raptor. SO we don't actually know how good the Raptor is. It was a dumb pairing. They should have chosen the Golf GTi instead, maybe even the 7.5 GTI. Its front wheel drive so maybe that would have been more fair.
It is an innocent fun.what is your issue.this was purely to see the power of the raptor
I agree, should've been a GTI to make it more interesting
They must never think again
We all knew what will happen before this race began, I want gti now
But the Raptor will take you places where the Golf R will never.
Yes because the engine was made for power not for speed
@@mtho8778 ??????
@@mtho8778 what's power got to do with it? Even a Suzuki Jimny can take you places where the Golf R cannot.
Bankruptcy isnt a place..
@@johnnybravo1912Wrong he mean't offroad nonetheless..
C'mon guys... pump out more videos. We need more of this stuff.
This was like watching Brock Lesnar trying to outrun Usain Bolt...
I'd choose the Ford Raptor honestly. It'll take you to beautiful places like Lesotho, Kruger National park etc. Its about peace of mind. The Golf R on the other hand will likely take you to the maintenance court to explain to the judge for not paying papgeld for all the kids you made while driving the Golf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even a little Jimny can take you there. The golf is for fun
😂😂😂
You nailed it
@michaeldschutte Agreed. But with the Golf, both kinds of fun it can give you might result in a brush with the law if not the Reaper.
@sizwedhlamini9775 have to carry the R200 document brother. And don't speed if you can't drive/don't know the car. And then the bakkie would also roll if thrown into a corner so would be unsafe.
Its all about preference at the end of the day 😊
The best is to get both,the other one for speed and other one is for adventure,,ofcos the rapture has more advantage over the golf but all in all it depends on what you need,,,,its a free will,everyone go for what they'd prefer both cars are amazing
I strongly think the driver make the difference 🏁
Here's a more realistic comparison:
The Ford Ranger Raptor has a power-to-weight ratio of 116.8 kW/ton.
The Golf 6 GTI DSG has a power-to-weight ratio of 114.8 kW/ton.
The two vehicles are very close in terms of their power-to-weight ratios. However, it's important to note that the power-to-weight ratio is just one aspect of performance. Other factors like torque, aerodynamics, suspension setup, etc., play significant roles in a vehicle's overall performance.
It's not a GTI, that's a Golf R
@@michaeldschutte Duh.
@@kratos9223 your comment refers to a GTI
@@kratos9223 that said I do agree with you. Especially suspension makes a huge difference. Different cars put power down differently
No need for such immense infomation
it is a golf R, masterpiece of engineering .. i can't believe how enginners manged to build 4 cylinder that can produce such great performance
Golf 8 GTI VS Raptor, Yes.
It’s a golf R. What do you expect? 😂
That was my question exactly 😂😂😂and not any golf but R 😂😂😂😂
There is always an Afrikaans guy that thinks his bakkie is fast😂
Exactly 😅
@@michaeldschuttelol 😂😂
Bruv its292 hp im waiting for 400hp ecu and we talk again German bucket
Same goes with these trucks against an Audi S3. For some reason,they always find out getting humbled by small cars with 300 + hp makes for very quick vehicles.
Good start first video doing over 65k. Don't stop your channel has potential
Give us that raptor and the old Amarok v6
Raptor will smoke it
Now race in the desert
There is no way a raptor can be faster than a golf 8 r😢even the golf 6 gti I bet it would be faster than the raptor...
Nahh raptor smoking the gti in every aspect on paper atleast
Raptor gapping that golf 6 hard
Golf 8 GTi 0-100 in 6.4s, Raptor, sub 6s... do the math.
Black Noris failed the raptor on purpose, he was too relaxed 😂😂
Not the 400 version of the Raptor.
Would have been interesting to see how much closer it would be with the 'full spec'.
That is the 400 hp version.
Wrong! This is the 292KW = 400HP version sold in South Africa, see the whole video.
Raptor is an awesome bakkie and way ahead of its competitors performance wise but this narrative that it can compete with the likes of R nah folks
Who else wants to take a test drive in the Ranger Raptor ASAP, huh?
Am I late I want to
I pipped that 3.0 raptor with my 2006 BMW 130i so well and good it felt great..
wow. a quick car vs a bakkie? amazing.and ja won? id be proud.......🤭🤭🤭
Should've used a old polo 1.4 gti to compare.
😂 😂
Still😂😂😂
Keep the content coming. New subscriber.
Golf is the Golf what do you expect
You didn’t use launch control on the golf 8r in the first race lol😅🤧
My Tiguan R line destroys Raptors for breakfast. I left a V6 Raptor for dead yesterday no comparison in a straight line.
The Tiguan is garbage, a Ford Edge leaves you 1 mile ahead.
@@monales4749whats a Ford Edge??
I want both
It doesn’t mean if it has more kws it will beat the golf R it’s kilowatts is for work purpose not for fast lanes 😂
The raptor is still one of the, if not the fastest bakkie in south africa
It's about who is behind the wheel only 😅
Try the trackhauck with the golf n u c wat suv can do
Pls keep posting videos, I just subscribed.
Why the R not the gti? That raptor isn't as fast as they say. Even a golf 6 gti will still drag that 2.5 ton metal.
Nope. Not the 6
The G8 GTi is more than .5s slower than the Raptor 0-100...
@@LeonKotze70where did you get your Stat from?
@@sillimilli3802 really????
Well the difference is the weight
Gerotek needs more love..
This is madness comparing one of the fastest hothatch German vehicle against Ranger Raptor would have been fair if you put the raptor against Amarok 2.3 turbo charged petrol.
Every golf flys. Am not surprised 😂 But to be honest, their works varies. There's a place where the raptor performs better than the golf. ❤
Lo i knew it was the driver at first, there is no way a raptor could do that to a G7 R... but if you put in a A dodge Ram its game over for the G7
Have you tried the navara 4.0 v6?
Does the Navara have a 4.0 V6?
How can he have a good launch with that hat😂
Y'all are comparing Apple with a Banana. You can't let Golf to compete with a pick up truck/Bakkie. Obvious golf is a super sport car and it was made for this very purpose racing while Ranger Raptor for power
GTI and raptor test off road will be fair
Ford has done the best as always.
This review was as exciting as watching paint dry....
I like takeoff of the Raptor with so heavy body it can do that woooooow.
Bruh I will make a lot of fun with my new raptor!!!
I would like to see the same test setup on a slightly different surface: gravel and pothole infested path. My choice of vehicle would be crystal clear.
Lovely
Raptor can go off road by the way
What is Mbeki clele doing thele
Which Raptor is this one??? The one i saw in England was faster than golf 8 r
If that ford has a barra engine, tune and exhaust and big single turbo on standard engine will give it 440 to 500awkw
Man take off the Jacket mann,,,,,,
It’s very irritating when people these videos don’t know how to drive. Did any of these guys know how to use launch control in the golf?
The comparison is silly.
Ford South Africa was supposed to have given us the Ford Focus ST 4th generation
this would be a more interesting challenge
why aren't we getting the Focus in South Africa anymore
Hyundai even released the i30N
the hatchback market can't be dictated by VW forever
it is unfair for consumers to have VW pushed down their throats
You can't compare a 3l with a 2l engine, why didn't he take a BMW 340!?
Bringing a stick to a gun fight 🙄
Man i have to laugh at these south african channels, the accent the things they say.... pissa...i moved from cape town to australia 25 years ago...but still find the old culture a chuckle
These are 2 vehicles with different motorz😂😂
Let hope so
Nice to know
OKAY, now take them off road and see which one goes further !!
Turns out that guy did need he’s nose to launch 😢
2017 A45 AMG Vs ford ranger wildtrak 2024
01:03 the Golf 8 R driver is not made for this, so bad
But what were you expecting???? What a joke 😅
Do a kia sorento vs ferarri 488 next!
Weight also counts
Golf R in terms of torque
It's was also the driver on the start
Lunch control?
Why not put the golf with the mustang or puma at least
Even the golf 6 and golf 7, the raptor still no match
6 I don't think so especially launch remember tht has more power nd is a v6,especially the 392 HP
Science teaches us the heavier the car the slower the acceleration...they are not in the same category c'mon
You should have bring Toyota yaris GR all Golf a scared of this one
love how raptor owners think their car is fast lol
The white guy is a pro
Was this at Gerotek...
How can you compare golf 8r with a bakkie 😂
Holden Commodore would piss on those cars......
In real world these raptors are even more slow. And also those tiny brake discs….
The golf is still a student car
Ford Raptor owners think they have a supercar.
Nice to see it get properly gapped.😂
It’s the driver, not the car
Look more Like the Police Minister Beki Cele
The GTI will be fair...
Bheki Cele can’t launch a Golf R.
😂😂😂😂
Until you have to use aircon on the GolfR at night 😂😂😂 goodluck
What happens tell us please
@@did.it.myself9022 it’s a touch screen operated aircon. You will battle to operate it while doing 120km/h. There are no knobs and it doesn’t illuminate at night. It’s as worse as the Haval Jolion aircon touch screen fiasco. Goodluck.
The aircon/ volume touch buttons don't have backlights at night so you struggle to see where the buttons are
😂😂😂. Why wouldn't you put your aircon on auto though before you even leave, that's what I'd do
@@sillimilli3802 Then Mbali says “my feet are cold” and yours are warm because you have your sneakers on. Then what? 😅😅😅
Golf GTI R will win this battle 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Exactly, you beat him off the start, not the car. That guys doensn't know how to launch.
Now tow a 3.5 cart and do the runs 😂
Golf GTI ❤
Thanks 😂❤
A whole truck and a small vehicle? Come on.
It’s all due to weight golf is faster than heavy raptor 😂
天才啊！不同車型拿來比！
But can the VW rock climb and go through mud ??
