Quickest AUDI RS vs Quickest DUCATI: DRAG RACE

It's time for an incredible car vs bike drag race!

We've got Mat in the all-new Audi rs e-tron GT Performance, and it's about to go head-to-head against the amazing all-new Ducati Panigale V4S!

So let's see how the two compare. Starting with the Audi, it's the most powerful Audi road car ever produced! It comes equipped with two electric motors, which combine to produce 925hp (when in launch control mode) and 1,027Nm. Being electric it's pretty heavy, tipping the scales at 2395kg, and as new the car will set you back around £143,000.

The Ducati uses a 1.1-litre V4 engine that can produce 216hp and 121Nm of torque. It's also equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it comes in with a tiny (dry) weight of just 187kg. A new one of these has a price tag just shy of £30,000.

So we know the Audi will be super quick off the mark, but will the Ducati be able to catch it over the quarter-mile? There's only one way to find out for sure... LET'S RACE!

Thumbs up for Alessandro! He really knows his Ducati.

Alessandro revved that bike with the most italian hand gesture he could possibly do 🤌

[mhmdd]

Love how Alessandro is enjoying the test and nerding out with all his knowledge.

[lostintheblues.]

Ducatti rider was very very chill gentleman.Absolute respect to him.

[josephiousbrosif]

Honestly the braking of that Ducati was the most impressive thing. Usually bikes get murdered in the braking tests

[aryansingh]

9.9 sec quater mile is fasssst on 2 wheels, and the way it stopped is even more crazy. Damn

14:05 The Manus truck came in 3rd. Not bad considering the competition it was facing.

[petrabuytenhek]

When Alessandro made that wheelie, and the stoppie, it made my complete day.

[Henjacked]

The stop test on that Ducati is insane

[cp]

14:02 That lorry did well to come a close 3rd. Audi only just beat him 😂

We kicked your ass!!! Plus, the thrill of a bike is priceless... No car can ever match the spirit of a true racing bike.... Ducati all the way baby .... I am a big fan of the new Audi .. They have done a outstanding job... Matt Big Thank You for bringing us these races ....

I'm patiently waiting for an Icon of the Seas vs Oasis of the Seas drag race!

Alessandro is a very smart driver.. He knows he will fall behind on the launch, so he moves into the slipstream of the car, and then goes for the overtake, classic racers behaviour. nicely done, sir.

[deaks]

Alessandro is so cool, seems like a guy just having fun.
The Ducati is incredible, practically defies physics. EVs are so good at launching, I did not expect those results.
I noticed the cheeky shut off of the speedo camera once the Ducati hit 300kph… Ducati sandbagging…

[spicydragon]

As a owner/rider of multiple Ducatis over the years that new bike is just bleeping incredible. But for an Audi to do that well we have to give credit where its due. That car is FAST! Well done to all.

[francoisdouglas]

Thank you for finally talking a bit more about the bikes as well! 😀

[adollarms]

14:02 Woah, that's a quick truck in the back! Almost beating the e-tron 😅

[AhmadMustaphaIbrahim]

This is Audi advertising their 2 new vehicles 😂😂

[kalkigaming]

This, by far, was the most entertaining video I’ve seen this week! The sound of that Ducati! I was so cheering for Alessandro

[edgongar]

the best carwow video since I followed them...

I am a fan of high performance cars but I am also the proud owner of a 2024 Ducati Panigale v4...

Now I am anxiously waiting for my new 2025 Ducati Paniga v4.

thank you Matt Watson for doing this race... thank you Alessando Valia for developing these amazing motorcycles and participating in this drag race

greetings from Mexico!!!
