Fifth Gear - GTI shootout times- GTI vs Cosworth vs Focus Rs.

[TagnuT]

Last week Golf GTI shootout time 1min 28.1 secs.

This week Escort Cosworth 1min 28.5 secs.

Not bad. And both times were better than the Focus RS.

I think the GTIs gear ratios are well suited to that particular track, the fastest part of the course 112MPH is in 4th at exactly 6500 rpm. Also Considering that Cosworth is 12 years old I think it did rather well.

I'm confused.. different track?

I wondered when someone would ask this

GTI manual - 1min 33.7 secs

ED30 manual - 1min 32.6 secs

R32 - 1min 30.4 secs

W12 - 1min 29.4 secs

Around the TOPGEAR test track.

ST 1min 33.6

Cupra 1min 33.5

Are we confusing this with Fifth Gear's track (Anglesey)? As the GTI was a good 133.something on Top Gear's track..

i was pleasantly surprised that the GTi was faster round fifth gears test track, beating the Cosworth escort and mincing the Focus RS aswell.Wish they would put an DSG one round to show the difference in lap time. at least 1-2 seconds at a guess

Nope sorry, the times were from Fifth gear, with VBH driving.

Probably a lot closer than that 

5th Gear did a test on an Audi TT DSG vs Manual here :-
