Supercar vs Hot Hatch - What's FASTER In The REAL World? 4K

We often hear people say a well-driven hot hatch is just as fast as a supercar can be on real world roads - specifically cold, damp back roads in winter. To test the theory Alex got himself one of the fastest hot hatches, an Audi RS3 and challenged Rory, in a Lamborghini Huracan STO, to a head to head battle. Who will win?

props for keeping the near crash in @3:05

Putting Rory and Alex together has really elevated the entertainment value of these episodes. I love Rory's reviews, but watching him scare the piss out of Alex is just plain fun. Throttle House better watch out!

[davidmusil]

The chemistry between you two is great! Good job AutoTrader!

[JJ-sxde]

Rory mate, you're so lucky! That would have been a lot of money for those Lamborghini panels😂

[ShogunsDojo]

They dynamic with Rory and Alex is great. Autotrader has been making outstanding content for so long now but still find ways to take it to the next level. That STO is so special, by far my favourite Audi.

[azdino]

You guys are absolute legends. That hug said it all!!! Was crazy nervous for you and I’m watching this from my home lol.

3:10 There is no way that didn't require a change of underwear, but amazing save nonetheless Rory!

[Shabec]

I love this, Rory represent people who drive these super expensive “out of reach” cars. While Alex represent people who buy more relatable obtainable cars. Alex is so competitive it makes you cheer him on!

[idontwannaidontwanna]

AutoTrader, well done for pairing these two lads together, this is the type of content from two VERY good drivers AND charismatic presenters you needed.

Nice work lads, nice work indeed!

[davidhayes]

Back in the late 70s the 113 hp Golf GTI was claimed to be as fast on b roads as most of the ponderous supercars then….. that was one of its selling points. I am old enough to remember that… yes that old…

[trace]

Keep up the amazing content, we LOVE you guys!

[Peongster]

I love that Rory is the flashy extravagant guy reping the 1% while Alex shows us more realistic down to earth work arounds of the performance that we can actually afford. Keep this chemistry going.

Remember watching Clarkson on top gear years ago (can’t remember what car he was driving?) but he said you really don’t need much more than 350bhp for the/a road/car…..looks like he wasn’t far wrong!
Great vid

If this isn’t a return the golden days of Top Gear awesomeness, I don’t know what is! Brilliant camera work, and proper presenters who know what they’re doing and having a load fun while doing it. Brought a smile to my face and… damnit. I got something in my eye!!!
Well done guys.

[rudolfvanderven]

A great interesting comparison, two brilliant presenters who also happen to have great chemistry when put together, probably the most fun car in the world (and Rory almost crashing it lol)... this is just AutoTrader in its finest form. With this formula it has serious potential to become the best car channel in the world.

[shamuelshafin]

Rory & Alex is the best combination ever! we wanna see you guys in more

[somerandomfella]

Rory & Alex is a recipe for trouble 🤣👍

[aidencoder]

I didn't know Alex was on AutoTrader. More power to him.

[skittles]

I'm really enjoying this crop of latest videos with Rory and Alex. Please keep them coming! Thank you

That was a very emotional moment between two men…that hug after the accident.. once they realised the damage was acceptable!!! We’ve all been there!!
