Hahaha! I don't get what's the big fuss about VW losing anyway. VWG makes some fun cars with the other brands like Audi and Porsche, but VW themselves are boring. They have no soul.
Wow, I am pleasantly surprised that the N win the roll race convincingly. For the dig race it is 50/50, still an excellent result (against a 4 wheel drive) really depends if the N can get good traction out.
Why are you surprised? It's a front wheel drive vs an all wheel drive and both cars have very close power and weight numbers. The N will win a roll every time from any speed. The real surprise is the N was able to beat the R from a dig. The R should win every dig as long as it's a short dig cause it will eventually get reeled in by the N. However, the new golf R should smash the N in every way lol.
If you watch the 1st race Sam upshifts at the 3:00 mark. Clearly the 2nd race shows you there is no way is the Elantra is faster over the 1/4 mile, but from a roll I agree with the results
@@FB6K24Z7 i think there are laws to prevent wild dealership premiums in Canada. With that said, don't expect to get any discount with the current market haha
Thanks for the top notch content on Hyundai's N performance. You have been one of the best resources for real world comparisons. A vehicles performance metrics on paper are not always a one to one translation in real world performance and these races can often prove insightful to the development, engineering, and execution of Hyundais N performance drivetrain. The Elantra N may not be everyone's preference but I'll give credit where credit is due.
I didn't expect the Elantra to win against the Golf R back to back! I think the transmission and gear ratios are just on another level on that elantra. The car is probably making more HP on the wheel. This car is a beast. What a sleeper!
SXTH Element just dyno'd a bone stock EN 8 spd DCT and it put down 273/286 and after their stage 1 ECU tune it made 313/319, no other mods. Their developing an enclosed intake/turbo inlet pipe that made an additional 9-13 whp but only with the tune, made zero on the stock tune, so this tells you how optimized the OEM intake system is❗️
Bec the previous Golf is 288 kmh , def faster, newer golf would beat Hyundai lost! That Hyundai i30 sedan lol is only 275 even with tune. That’s very slow and horrible design. Even a Skoda might beat it.
I do believe it's 276hp, I just think it has an amazing transmission. I dyno my Elantra N and though the power was at the wheels, the numbers do make sense. Below are the numbers I got, all with HKS spark plugs. From stock to JB4 on 93octane it gained nearly 40hp, the NGS definitely gives it a 10hp boost, and just by using E30 from stock it gained about 60hp. Stock 93octane: 248whp/264tq JB4 Map3 93: 287/314 JB4 Map3 93 + NGS: 295/328 JB4 Map4 + E30: 296/340 JB4 Map5 + E30: 305/338
It makes more than they claimed. It depends on the dyno of course. The numbers are right in line with the 7R. Both have an amazing transmission. Dct’s are awesome
Elantra N-line owner here. I'd recommend getting an aftermarket lower engine mount for the Elantra N (fits both N and N-line). It'll kill that nasty wheel hop trust me. As of right now, SXTH ELEMENT makes the best ones as it feels near stock when it's fully broken in so you get the best of both worlds which is near stock vibration and no wheel hops.
I had the i30 n hatchback here in the UK . The wheel skip and spinning in the wet was a pain in the backside. I wish I'd known about the aftermarket part you talk about.
@Volkan it's pretty bad at first but after like 3ish weeks, it just about went away to the point it feels OEM with slightly more vibration in sport mode.
@@davidbarlow372 That's not entirely accurate. From a dig the EN has an edge in the 1/4 mile thanks to its DCT. In comparison, a manual EN loses in the same scenario. In pretty much all other scenarios like 1/2 mile race, roll race, track lap times, etc the CTR will outperform the EN 100% of the time. The gap in performance can only widen with the new CTR around the corner.
@dknight25 it is better. Not by much but still better. This would not be a big deal if it was sold at least somewhere near MSRP. Its just not $15000 better lmao. $15000 spent on the hyundai would decimate any type r. Not even $15000 needed, literally 1/3 of that wpuld set it way ahead of the type r.
Wow ! Again, this is definitly the best power/cost car ratio..Agree with you on the HP, some guys in the US put their N on the dino, and they are saying that it's produce not 275, but 335 stock. And after that video, i start to beleive them.. Imagine a tune N? It remain to be touchy to launch properly. With awd, it is easyer to put the power down. What a gift Hyundai give's us!!👍👍👌🤙🤙♥️
@@i.d.6492it’s just facts coming from an EN owner. The Type-R, golf R and Gti and wrx all have larger aftermarket capabilities. The EN can make big power but not as easily as the others
@@SuperGeronimo999and Japanese automakers take from the Germans.. what's your point? Acting like KDM are the only ones doin this oh and Albert bierman wanted to leave BMW cuz of their changing business model... So he wanted to go to a performance branch that lines up with his beliefs. Hyundai just happened to offer him a spot
I know they have made advances with FWD but I’m honestly surprised it’s still a thing. The Elantra in RWD looks like it would be pretty impressive from a roll and dig.
You're surprised because you know little about vehicle packaging, dynamics and cost. Also with good tires and decent surface, N can do 13.2sec 1/4 mile.
I like how guys keep underestimating the Elantra N..seen it over and over...i think they just can not wrap there heads around that a Hyundai can be this good. For the price of the car compared to... the other new cars out their..like the golf R...etc........you have to admit this car is right up there
@@StinkySundae It defeated al old gen Golf R,not the same generation ,,counterpart,, . I can spank an E60 M5 with an MK8 Golf R....that's doesn't mean it'll beat the same year m5 :))
It's not underestimating. It's facts and realism. Hyundai cars are cheap. No matter how you try to make a sporty shape and engine. It can never beat a VW car unless you were paid to create a video like the one you watched here to show that Hyundai can beat a Golf. Lmao.
I really wish I waited until this year to buy this Elantra N as oppsed to the Nline. Big mistske! I'm locked in to this now. Awesome race! That new Golf is likely a beast...
Expected, my Stage 1 S3 trapped 106 at the track and 109 on a cool night on a dragy, the Golf is lighter but won’t trap the 107-108 the N is doing stock, good video
I love that this race finally happened, just kinda surprised about the runs from a dig. I know the VW DSG is trash when going from a roll unless you know exactly what you're doing so I figured that's how the rolls would go. But VW launch control is violent so I would have expected a bigger gap off the line.
I have seen some people dynoing their ENs at 286whp (not at the crank). Whether or not that's true is yet to be determined, but having driven a Veloster N DCT, that car feels underrated and they use the same engine (albeit minus NGS I believe).
Take any of these results with a grain of salt, whatever car a manufacturer will push on these youtube reviewers will usually have gone through the press car treatment. Take a look at the latest gen Golf R release reviews. They were putting out insane times for what power it should have but once the dust settled and out of the press cycle their 1/4 times settled down to more believable levels.
What rematch :)))) new golf r will rape elantra from dig and still win it from a roll because type r destroyed elantra in roll and new golf r is faster then type r in dig and roll just watch carwow
@@VanatorulDePernute the 12000$ which you save for buying a Elantra N over the new golf R you can spend half the amount of that on the Elantra N make it way faster then a Golf R the only limiting factor from a dig would be traction for the Elantra N otherwise from a roll it would be game over
@@FB6K24Z7 Yes you could also buy a 1970 camaro and put a few thousand dollars into and make it beat both cars. You pay more for the vw not just because of the hp. However as you tune a Golf R vs the Elantra the cars totally separate themselves in being able to use the power. Never mind cooler weather of wet weather wear the Elantra is not even close compared to to the R.
The Elantra N numbers are under rated. I bet the numbers are more at the wheels than the crank. Fast car but harder to launch. When you get it right very fast.
I love what hyundai is doing with their cars but the fanbois need to chill. They put a brand new 2022 elantra n vs a mk7.5 r which is around 2 - 3 years older than the elantra. I could run out in my 2011 gti and pick a fight with a 2008 gt and win, but it would be pointless since I'd be punching down. Enjoy the win but don't get it twisted. Throw a 2022 elantra n against a 2022 golf r and you'll see a much different outcome.
The new Golf R is like 15k more than the Elantra. Not really a fair comparison to be honest. Price wise it should've going up against the GTI so yes it is impressive that it can keep up with an R even if it's a 7.5.
I guess the driver DOES make a difference, the 2nd dig race proved it! After leaving GAP CITY the Elantra shared the contents of its take out from Gapplebee's😅
@@klasseact6663 Thats cause Sam upshifts in the 1st race at the 3:00 mark. If you watch the tach it drops down low in the rpm range , then watch the tach in the 2nd race it always stays high thru the shifts.
True, but what's gonna be cheaper to fix? And yes from digs the R will be better with awd. From a roll, not so sure. I was set on the N but for the price of the R you can get a new C300, or S3.
Buddy in the r need to check his car because there is something off with it, because the r bears type r, and type r beats EN, and you telling me EN beats r?
@@Gjanachannel I'm not so sure about that, particularly from a roll. Going off factory specs, the power to weight ratios aren't all that different . . . 11.94lb/hp for the Elantra N DCT vs 10.73lb/hp for my 2022 G70 AWD 3.3T. If my suspicion is correct, and the output from the Elantra's 2.0T is underrated, it could be a lot closer race than most people think. The Elantra N has already proven to punch well above its weight class, although hopefully not as high as my G70, as that would be pretty awkward.
Great video! I will make one comment. You say the new golf R should be faster than the EN. IMO, it should be faster since it costs 15K more than than the EN.
Wow! I knew the Golf R would take the Elantra N on the dig due to its AWD. However, the Elantra N is 2-3 bus lengths ahead of the Golf R on the roll.... holy @#$@. On the roll, the Golf R just couldn't keep up. It's like the Elantra N saying, "you got me on the dig Golf R, now hold my beer and I will give you a taste of N Performance on the roll." Again, nice job Sam on the video and friendly match-up. Cheers!
Ever since I been watching these videos, I have considered an Automatic (1) and (2) I considered an Hyundai. Cause the eN DCT is just a huge bang for buck
I don't like the golfs, they are overrated but that short shift from the golf in the first race killed it. I can garantee the mk8 takes it easy, they are definitely not 320bhp, i've seen them dyno around 342
As a Mk8 GTI owner who chose this car over the Elantra N, I stick by my choice 😂. Tuning these cars is why we buy these cars. It'll be interesting to see stage 2 races.
@@wdnalo it'll be close for sure! Though the Golfs have had years to develop a following and tuning manufacturers know that, not so much for the Hyundais... But any competition is good!
@@CanadianMax on a MK7 probably but the Mk8s are definitely going to be different, A stock Elantra N is not keeping up with a Stock Mk8 Golf R, but the GTIs will be interesting. Not to mention the inevitable stage 3
In spite of the MK8 GTI/R being faster 0-60 and around a track, the MK7.5 is the greatest generation of Golf ever imo. I ditched my 2016 GTI and picked up a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo hatch not too long ago, and if it werent for out of warranty reliability concerns I would have picked up a 2018-2020 MK7.5 instead. I love the Mazda and dont regret buying it, but the MK7/7.5 is truly the pinnacle for that legacy imo, and there wont be a true MK9 to correct the wrongs VW did to the interior of the MK8. (VW are hellbent on becoming 100% EV asap)
Hyundai group just rules right now with all of their line-up of ice cars and electric. They came a long way. In 5 years They just closed the gap from the Germans with their 100 years of experience.
People don’t know that this transmission is a WET type Dct. In comparison to some BMW and Porsche trans. Which are some of the best for racing. Also the 2022 K5 Gt also has the same wet type transmission.
never in life is the Golf R slower again Elantra N. In Europe and Germany both cars were compared with each other and the structurally identical I 30n never stood a chance against a Golf R 7.5 or Golf 8R. As for the quarter mile as well as 0/100 or 100/200. Because of the all-wheel drive alone, the Elantra n has no chance on the 1/4 mile!
Elantra N engine has broader torque curve than the I30N among other improvements. They’re not the same. Don’t be butt hurt a Hyundai just burst your bubble. Lol.
@@davidbarlow372 no way! The new golf r trapping over 113 in the Quarter mile. Unless someone doesn’t know how to drive the new R and I really hate to say it but it is possible to screw up driving an auto from a roll 😂 but I guess you’re right anything is possible we will see!
Test drove the Elantra N and unfortunately the ride quality is too harsh for our bad paved roads in Puerto Rico. Thought about using smaller wheels with meatier tires, but it would look funny
Nice race and to see the N do good. The Stock DSG doesn’t respond well but no chance for the N if the R has the simplest COBB dsg tune, thing does mid 3’s 0-60
My Cobb ECU/TCU tuned 7.5 absolutely stomped a mk8 DSG the other day and also highway pulls neck and neck with a E92 M3 DCT. No way this Hyundai is keeping up with even a stage 1 7R. All I see is a bunch of N fanboys in this video’s comments.
@@SamCarLegion maybe the ecu went weird? There was a shortshift from 2nd to 3rd gear in the first dig. In the 2nd dig the car went right to rpm limiter in the 2nd to 3rd gearchange.
@@pokest225 yes its weird that he's denied it multiple times but perhaps he hasn't watched/listened to his own video when you can easily obviously hear (and see) the shift happen. It's quite dramatic. It doesn't happen when the drivers are switched and you see the very dramatic difference between the two cars from a dig. Would've been pretty cool to see a no launch control race just for fun, but the R would win that part as well. The N is a truly fantastic car and a lot of fun but it doesn't stand even the tiniest of chances against an R from a dig. The roll race isn't surprising at all since the VW gearbox just isn't as quick or responsive as the sweet new Hyundai box stock. I figured the R would lose that especially if everything was done in automatic modes relying on the gearbox to do all of the work. That N would win that all day.
Clearly short shifted at least one gear. Clear as day to see. Did this exact race myself and the r dusted the shit out of the Elantra. First guy is a faker
100% correct. I said the same thing when I watched this a couple of months back. The real race is the 2nd race. I always prefer to see the owners race there own cars then watching Sam race. For 1 he is not a good driver and 2 he doesnt know the cars he drives and 3 I think he sometimes underperforms a car in order to favor another car.
Sam can you please do one race with launch control and one without? Everyone knows that the German cars have a better lunch control system and sometimes that's what gives them the edge. In real life driving no one uses launch control. Cheers 🇨🇦
I'm sorry to say but that first race was the one that's inaccurate. I agree with the other comments left that Hyundai can't touch that Golf R in a drag race. Hyundai runs 13.5 on a good day. The GOLF R would win 9 out of 10 digs.
Lmao the VN DCT is 0-60 4.8 as the golf R is 4.7 QM 13.4 and 12.7 for the golf R and the EN has a bigger turbo then the VN so sorry to say ur wrong lmao 🤣 😂
@@canadatroop maybe 🤔 you're a Hyundai fan but that wouldn't help that car from going to gapplebees. You're wrong the Golf R is a consistent quarter mile machine and you're crazy if you or anyone else can beat a Golf R stock for stock in a best out of 10 dig race. Please on a good day a the Golf will do high 12s. By the way I have a Golf R 7.5 any day digs pink slips 10 races. Last thing is I have e no idea where you getting those stats 🤔 👀 😅

@@alexcastillo6032 I've already answered everyone on this. The Elantra N is a mid 13s car and with a good driver and good launch maybe it will get 13.2 I'll even give I 13.15. The Golf a can break 12.7.5 to 13.2 all day long consistently also. Just to add if they both got tuned the gap would be 10 times worse as the Golf would still put the power down.
The efforts by Hyundai in bringing this car up to this level in 2022 is amazing 👏 Honda and Toyota has to take note on the elentra N. Not to bring some old ass manual type R adding some horses more with no innovation and tag 40k saying limited edition 🤣🤣🤣
Honda and toyota don't need to take any note from Hyundai to be honest. Honda makes lap records in the civic without dct since some years now, also the brand is capable of making things like the Nsx. And toyota makes the gr range now, hyundai doesn't have anything that confronts that range of cars. Add to that the Lfa...
@@pokest225 the lfa is on the super car league. The type R makes record laps because only Renault Megane is competing with it. If you look up in this channel. The Elentra N already proved its power to the civic. But the dct is not the only matter here. The tech atleast presents some German tech as at today. There is no magic in civic type R. It is a simple matter of power to weight ratio. Full agreed with the GR. Good machine. But not the type R sorry. For the price? You must be joking
@@rajeevmittoo4221 still the civic is the superior car. With same manual gearbox in both cars, there's no contest. The type r also is faster on a roll against the dct N, as seen in this same channel. And for the lap records, sorry again. Hyundai can't compete at that even with the dct. Some cars cost more for something. Hyundai has a good price/product ratio, and that's it. The best fwd performance machine is the type r, clean and clear. I brought the Nsx and the Lfa to the table, because hyundai can only dream of making things like that. Sorry again, but there's no notes to take from Hyundai by Honda or Toyota. And that's a fact. Thinking otherwise is self lying. Honestly.
Shows you that the Gold R in hands of a semi decent driver wins ....when the Admin of the channel drove it it lost because he double shifted "Twice" which made the car bog and lose power immediately funny thing is he didn't even notice that he done that lol thats why most of these youtube races are BS because these are RUclipsrs not racers or even decent drivers but as soon as the other guy got behind the wheel of that Golf he put 5 bus lengths on that Elentra
@@kingGfour 🤔, thats my point. The MK8 R is nearly $60k in some places. These two vehicles can be found for around $30k, so more people are likely to be cross shopping them or a base spec MK8 GTI.
I’m convinced Sam doesn’t know how to drive 😂 the other guy won with ease on the dig, both my predictions were right. Golf r isn’t fast stock but the awd helped it immensely on the dig and it lost on the roll, btw the curb weight is wrong. Friend weighed his and with a little weight reduction it weighed just over 3400 lbs without him in it.
@@SamCarLegion I watched and saw you get reeled in easily on the first dig, other guy beat it with ease. It’s okay Sam your reaction time and driving skills aren’t the best, you’re still entertaining to watch!
And you can clearly see how early he shifted in that first race that slow 14 second elantra n isn't beating a golf r in the real world with a decent driver and I'm not even a fan of the golf those elantra n are about a second slower 100-200 kmh also
Thank you again Sam with a Cool Video!Also thanks to the guy with the previous K5 and new EN. It really convinced me to get one. Also the mk8 would destroy the EN in a roll I'm certain since this car struggled with the Type R in a roll and the MK8 is faster then the type r when it gets close to 90+ I believe due to previous races on Carwow but Sam I love your videos more keep them coming. Next race should be the EN and Sonata/K5 that's more of a closer race.
Nice! I’d like to see the Kona N and the Elantra N DCT. I’ve seen another video where the Kona takes out the 6 speed manual. Curious how similar the Kona would be.
I dont know if Hyundai knows how to measure horsepower to the crank, the EN makes more like 330-340 hp and 350-360 tq. Trapping between 107-110mph for a stock one is indicative of those power levels. If they offered a Veloster N AWD with this powerplant I'd highly consider getting one.

Elantra N-line owner here. I'd recommend getting an aftermarket lower engine mount for the Elantra N (fits both N and N-line).
It'll kill that nasty wheel hop trust me. As of right now, SXTH ELEMENT makes the best ones as it feels near stock when it's fully broken in so you get the best of both worlds which is near stock vibration and no wheel hops.

Wow ! Again, this is definitly the best power/cost car ratio..Agree with you on the HP, some guys in the US put their N on the dino, and they are saying that it's produce not 275, but 335 stock. And after that video, i start to beleive them.. Imagine a tune N? It remain to be touchy to launch properly. With awd, it is easyer to put the power down. What a gift Hyundai give's us!!👍👍👌🤙🤙♥️
tuning an N doesn't give nearly as much power gain as it does a golf R
@@roboticvenom1935 I disagree
@@i.d.6492it’s just facts coming from an EN owner. The Type-R, golf R and Gti and wrx all have larger aftermarket capabilities. The EN can make big power but not as easily as the others
Tuning the N gives the same results as octane learning. It basically just gives you a car that's always octane learned.

I love that this race finally happened, just kinda surprised about the runs from a dig. I know the VW DSG is trash when going from a roll unless you know exactly what you're doing so I figured that's how the rolls would go. But VW launch control is violent so I would have expected a bigger gap off the line.
Dude, he upshifted the golf R early in the Race 1. So it will lose.
Wrong, the transmission is not trash. The Golf just doesn't have that mid-range torque it needs to maintain the lead.

Definitely wasn't expecting that. Hyundai is under-rating the hell out of that engine. Punching WAY above it's weight.
About 280whp with NGS active on the N when it should be around that at the crank
@@Olemrac11
Nice!!
I have seen some people dynoing their ENs at 286whp (not at the crank). Whether or not that's true is yet to be determined, but having driven a Veloster N DCT, that car feels underrated and they use the same engine (albeit minus NGS I believe).
@@MDKN22 the Elantra N and Kona N have a much improved turbo over what the VN has. Other than that, same engine
Take any of these results with a grain of salt, whatever car a manufacturer will push on these youtube reviewers will usually have gone through the press car treatment. Take a look at the latest gen Golf R release reviews. They were putting out insane times for what power it should have but once the dust settled and out of the press cycle their 1/4 times settled down to more believable levels.
Definitely need a rematch with a newer Golf R!!
What rematch :)))) new golf r will rape elantra from dig and still win it from a roll because type r destroyed elantra in roll and new golf r is faster then type r in dig and roll just watch carwow

Need the Mk8 here
@@FB6K24Z7 Yes you could also buy a 1970 camaro and put a few thousand dollars into and make it beat both cars. You pay more for the vw not just because of the hp. However as you tune a Golf R vs the Elantra the cars totally separate themselves in being able to use the power. Never mind cooler weather of wet weather wear the Elantra is not even close compared to to the R.
Best trolls in the business, here to celebrate! The comment section here doesn't disappoint!!
Sam...keep up the good work👍👍
The Elantra N numbers are under rated. I bet the numbers are more at the wheels than the crank. Fast car but harder to launch. When you get it right very fast.
I love what hyundai is doing with their cars but the fanbois need to chill. They put a brand new 2022 elantra n vs a mk7.5 r which is around 2 - 3 years older than the elantra. I could run out in my 2011 gti and pick a fight with a 2008 gt and win, but it would be pointless since I'd be punching down. Enjoy the win but don't get it twisted. Throw a 2022 elantra n against a 2022 golf r and you'll see a much different outcome.
The new Golf R is like 15k more than the Elantra. Not really a fair comparison to be honest. Price wise it should've going up against the GTI so yes it is impressive that it can keep up with an R even if it's a 7.5.
Elantra N seems amazing, but on long terms, does it have reliable powertrain? It's a new platforme, i have my doubts
I guess the driver DOES make a difference, the 2nd dig race proved it! After leaving GAP CITY the Elantra shared the contents of its take out from Gapplebee's😅
@Ed Findlay no, the first race Sam gets reeled in, then the next race the EN loses
@@klasseact6663 Thats cause Sam upshifts in the 1st race at the 3:00 mark. If you watch the tach it drops down low in the rpm range , then watch the tach in the 2nd race it always stays high thru the shifts.

Finally got the elantra n, too many people trying to buy it😢
Once you start tuning this vehicle is the where difference come into play. Awd>fwd . A 400 hp golf R vs a 400hp N which one is going to spin?
True, but what's gonna be cheaper to fix? And yes from digs the R will be better with awd. From a roll, not so sure. I was set on the N but for the price of the R you can get a new C300, or S3.
That's an mk7.5, not an new mk8 golf R they around 25-35k used. I'll go with that all day.
Not only that which one can take power more
The members only jacket the elantra owner is wearing is by far the nicest thing in this video🙌
They're nice I got one in black
Lol I'm just wearing a zara jacket 😂
Buddy in the r need to check his car because there is something off with it, because the r bears type r, and type r beats EN, and you telling me EN beats r?
Happy to see that my stinger is probably faster than R both stock, good shit Sam
Stinger is faster than a Golf R in a straight line easily
Seems like a ridiculous matchup on paper, but I'd love to see the Elantra N vs a G70 3.3T. (or Stinger 3.3T)
Lol ur asking for a shaming for the elantra
@@Gjanachannel I'm not so sure about that, particularly from a roll. Going off factory specs, the power to weight ratios aren't all that different . . . 11.94lb/hp for the Elantra N DCT vs 10.73lb/hp for my 2022 G70 AWD 3.3T. If my suspicion is correct, and the output from the Elantra's 2.0T is underrated, it could be a lot closer race than most people think. The Elantra N has already proven to punch well above its weight class, although hopefully not as high as my G70, as that would be pretty awkward.
Great video! I will make one comment. You say the new golf R should be faster than the EN. IMO, it should be faster since it costs 15K more than than the EN.
😂
Wow! I knew the Golf R would take the Elantra N on the dig due to its AWD. However, the Elantra N is 2-3 bus lengths ahead of the Golf R on the roll.... holy @#$@. On the roll, the Golf R just couldn't keep up. It's like the Elantra N saying, "you got me on the dig Golf R, now hold my beer and I will give you a taste of N Performance on the roll." Again, nice job Sam on the video and friendly match-up. Cheers!
Since I owned a Elantra N this my favorite channel . Yes it is 😅
Ever since I been watching these videos, I have considered an Automatic (1) and (2) I considered an Hyundai. Cause the eN DCT is just a huge bang for buck
Go dct
I don't like the golfs, they are overrated but that short shift from the golf in the first race killed it. I can garantee the mk8 takes it easy, they are definitely not 320bhp, i've seen them dyno around 342
Two races I am desperate to watch: IS500 vs Stinger GT2. Elantra N (DCT) vs Corolla GR

In spite of the MK8 GTI/R being faster 0-60 and around a track, the MK7.5 is the greatest generation of Golf ever imo. I ditched my 2016 GTI and picked up a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo hatch not too long ago, and if it werent for out of warranty reliability concerns I would have picked up a 2018-2020 MK7.5 instead. I love the Mazda and dont regret buying it, but the MK7/7.5 is truly the pinnacle for that legacy imo, and there wont be a true MK9 to correct the wrongs VW did to the interior of the MK8. (VW are hellbent on becoming 100% EV asap)
Hyundai group just rules right now with all of their line-up of ice cars and electric. They came a long way. In 5 years They just closed the gap from the Germans with their 100 years of experience.
@Ed Findlay yes i know. That's why it's so good. My stinger too.
People don’t know that this transmission is a WET type Dct. In comparison to some BMW and Porsche trans. Which are some of the best for racing. Also the 2022 K5 Gt also has the same wet type transmission.
never in life is the Golf R slower again Elantra N. In Europe and Germany both cars were compared with each other and the structurally identical I 30n never stood a chance against a Golf R 7.5 or Golf 8R. As for the quarter mile as well as 0/100 or 100/200. Because of the all-wheel drive alone, the Elantra n has no chance on the 1/4 mile!

@@SamCarLegion maybe the ecu went weird? There was a shortshift from 2nd to 3rd gear in the first dig. In the 2nd dig the car went right to rpm limiter in the 2nd to 3rd gearchange.
@@pokest225 yes its weird that he's denied it multiple times but perhaps he hasn't watched/listened to his own video when you can easily obviously hear (and see) the shift happen. It's quite dramatic. It doesn't happen when the drivers are switched and you see the very dramatic difference between the two cars from a dig. Would've been pretty cool to see a no launch control race just for fun, but the R would win that part as well. The N is a truly fantastic car and a lot of fun but it doesn't stand even the tiniest of chances against an R from a dig.
The roll race isn't surprising at all since the VW gearbox just isn't as quick or responsive as the sweet new Hyundai box stock. I figured the R would lose that especially if everything was done in automatic modes relying on the gearbox to do all of the work. That N would win that all day.
I have a velosa N TCR spec bloody that car moves and I love you Sam and keep up the amazing vids bruv real chat and come to Europe again
Clearly short shifted at least one gear. Clear as day to see. Did this exact race myself and the r dusted the shit out of the Elantra. First guy is a faker
100% correct. I said the same thing when I watched this a couple of months back. The real race is the 2nd race. I always prefer to see the owners race there own cars then watching Sam race. For 1 he is not a good driver and 2 he doesnt know the cars he drives and 3 I think he sometimes underperforms a car in order to favor another car.
Sam can you please do one race with launch control and one without? Everyone knows that the German cars have a better lunch control system and sometimes that's what gives them the edge. In real life driving no one uses launch control. Cheers 🇨🇦
🤣
I'm sorry to say but that first race was the one that's inaccurate. I agree with the other comments left that Hyundai can't touch that Golf R in a drag race. Hyundai runs 13.5 on a good day. The GOLF R would win 9 out of 10 digs.
