We’ve been waiting a full year to get this drag race done and we had to go all the way to Gqeberha to film it. Can the new hot hatch entrant in the form of BMW’s 128ti beat the might Golf 8 GTI in a drag race? We put them head-to-head.
The Golf 8 GTI is here and if you haven’t seen our detailed review, click here immediately!
In this latest epic drag race, that we staged recently at the Aldo Scribante circuit outside Gqeberha, the latest Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI takes on the BMW 128ti over a quarter-mile.
With the BMW 1 Series now riding on a front-wheel-drive platform, these cars are more similar than ever. Both cars have 2.0-litre, 4-cyl turbo engines with almost identical power outputs, however the BMW is a touch lighter.
So, which one would take victory over 400m? Only one way to find out…
