Audi RS7 Performance v Tuned RS3: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an Audi vs Audi drag race!

Mat’s brought along his new long-term test car, the Audi RS7 Performance, and he’s racing it against an Audi RS3! But this is no ordinary RS3 - it’s had an ECU remap and a recalibrated gearbox, and it just may have what it takes to compete with the RS7!

So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the RS3, it’s equipped with a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo. This would normally produce 400hp and 480Nm of torque, but following the tune it can now produce 500hp and 630Nm! It only weighs in at 1,510kg, and it costs around £30,000.

Then we have the RS7. It packs a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it weighs much more than the RS3, tipping the scales at 2,065kg! It’s also so much more expensive, costing around £133,000!

So the RS7 is up on power, but it’s also well up on weight! Will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

[BoostKrip]

[xdsnakeop]

13:12 that why I always say its not only car channel it an entertainment channel as well 😂😂

[DayumSonny]

Nice-Nick's a great addition to the show. Dude's just happy to be there.

Don’t forget to tell your insurance company about your mods 🤣🤣🤣

The music and montage cuts with the cinematography during Mat explaining his launch was hilarious, I mean his "excuse" lol.

[AlexandruNick]

That RS3 is really good value for money. And that 5 cylinder sound ❤

The demon edit at 6:49 and 6:55 got me 😂😂😂

If you guys keep this up, Nic, Rory, Sam and Matt could become some sort of Top Gear style motoring show. The Dyanamics between all them are awesome and, if you throw into the mix some Yianny chaos, it could be fun to watch.

You would think one would get tired of these drag races. But no, they're just so entertaining! Big thumbs up from Finland 👍🏻

Tbf with a difference of aprx £100, 000 we all know what we would buy - within 18 months the loss on the RS7 would buy the RS3 !🤔🤔🇬🇧

[nocontrolbeatz]

One of my favourite uploads of all time!

[SManSmith]

This video is class, the editing is next level. 🤣😂

[davidsibble]

Wow, one of the best races I’ve seen yet on CarWow

[sentinel]

That was the best first attempt ever on this channel. Just perfect, well done fellas.

[BrandonSmith-gdzs]

I think Carwow should incorporate more times in their runs, 0-100kph, 100-200kph, 0-60mph, 60-130mph. I think it would be great to see and give a better understanding of how fast the cars are!

Mat quacking at 10:51 and when he tried saying it again he still said "pretty quick, quick down". 😭
By the way those videos with the edits are nice to watch, you should make more. 😂

[Gazshadows]

That extra 130 hp is reason for the RS7 pulling away after 100 mile an hour. Still love the RS3!

lol the sound-effected Matt was awesome! Also, the Mortal HareBat!!
