Drag Race: Subaru STI vs VW Golf 7 R. The result will surprise you ! (VIDEO)

If you are looking for a compact and spacious sports car that easily fits in urban areas and satisfies your daily needs, then maybe Volkswagen Golf R is the answer to the question "what to choose". And for the more hardcore and pure adrenaline fans, Subaru STI is a perfect choice. Here are the two cars, completely different at first, but very similar in purpose.

But what would happen if the owners of such cars would cross eyes in an intersection, as often happens lined up by the traffic light and waiting for the green light? Who would win when racing on a short distance? Well, such a scenario was imagined by the boys from cars.co.za, a site specialized in the sale of cars in South Africa.

Just a few years back, Volkswagen Golf could not even dream of becoming a Subaru WRX STI rival, but things have changed a lot in the Volkswagen camp. The Japanese sedan develops 276 horsepower (206kw), about as much as the Golf, which was downgraded from 296 has it originally it had, due to harsh climatic conditions on the African continent. Both cars have exactly the same number of horsepower and both are equipped with four-wheel drive.

Subaru WRX STI has an advantage both on the track and off-road, where it feels comfortable and is equipped with a manual transmission. On the other hand, the Golf R comes equipped with double-clutch DSG transmission and cares little of gravel or circuits, because there are few chances to end up in such an environment.

Therefore a drag race is strongly recommended!

We watched the video below and we already know what the results are. However, we will not reveal the winner but I'll let you tell us whom you bet on. By the way, this was the best-recorded outcome after several shameful attempts.
