Quattro 4WD v EV 4WD: SNOW DRAG RACE

Who’s ready for an incredible Audi drag race… On SNOW!

We’ve got Mat in the Audi RS e-tron GT, and he’s going head to head against an Audi RS3 and Audi RS6! The thing is, none of these cars are equipped with winter tyres. They’re about to face off in normal summer tyres to see which can handle wintery conditions the best!

So how do they compare? Well starting with the RS e-tron, it’s packing two electric motors which can put down 646hp and 830Nm of torque. It’s pretty heavy, though, weighing in at 2,345kg.

Then we have the RS3. It’s housing the infamous 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo under the bonnet which is good for 400hp and 500Nm. It’s a whole lot lighter than the e-tron, tipping the scales at 1,570kg.

Then finally we have the gorgeous RS6. With a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, this performance estate can produce 600hp and 800Nm. But of course, given the size, it’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,075kg.

So they’re all equipped with four-wheel drive, but which will handle the snow the best? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Daniel is always the new German Carwow YouTube presenter!

[lasercats]

I think you gotta tell us what tires each car has in snow/grip related drag races, that alone changes everything.

Daniel is now 60 years of age: we're now going to our new German driver, Daniel 😂

The new edits had me rotfl, especially the "electric car sound" one 🤣
Keep up the good work guys!

E-tron in that dark olive green is just magic. Looks so incredibly good.

Mat we want more insane snow drag races like this one with Daniel, Nick and Yianni!

[someguy]

Have to say the e-tron was absolutely controlled over any inclines

But we do have to keep in mind that the tyres have to be the same
In such steep and low grip situations, there is a HUGE diffrence between good tyres and amazing tyres

[okithdesilva]

Mat never fails to wow us with all these insane drag race, reviews and videos!

Saw my first Audi RS E-tron GT yesterday and was shocked how wide and cool looking they are in person! The RS6 still takes the cake though because it has that cake.

Don’t we all love a daily dose of watching carwow?❤️

We’re talking about ‘’Audis in their natural habitat” people! And i love it 😍 ❤️

[nino_kO]

Jesus that quattro is an absolute masterpiece. Bravo audi 👏

[DoubleDeckerAnton]

That e tron is impressive. The extra weight helps it to dig deep in the snow.

[victoriahayden]

Wow - love this. If I had to pick I’d go for the RS3 even though it was the worst performing. I just love that car. Especially in that jazzy green colour!

[grachyboy]

Brilliant timing. Just as it snows in uk this morning and we were looking for a new car 😂😂

[ewan]

Great to see Nick involved with the different types of races. He fits in really well!

[reruedamotor]

A very interesting drag race! Great job Mat!!!

[lefordmilton]

At 3:50 electric car the one who came up with that is a Legend!!!🤣🤣

[bchurch]

Well colour me extremely impressed by the RS e-tron! Would love to see it up against something with a bit more off-road chops like a Range Rover and maybe an older Impreza as well for shits and giggles
