New RS7 Performance v BMW M8 v AMG GT63: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an almighty V8 showdown!

We’ve got Mat in the all-new Audi RS7 Performance, and he’s lining up against a BMW M8 Competition & a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door!

So let’s see how these ferocious machines compare. Starting with the Audi, it’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. Power is set to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,067kg. If you want to pick one up, it’ll set you back around £133,000.

Then we have the BMW M8. Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this can put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It comes with four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,074kg. It’s slightly more expensive than the RS7, with a price tag of £138,000.

Finally, we have the AMG. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 639hp and 900Nm of torque. It sends power to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,045kg. It’s the most expensive car here, costing around £154,000.

So the AMG has the most power and the least weight! Surely it’ll be a walkover, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Nice to see the RS7 back on top, it’s been in 3rd place ever since M and AMG incorporated AWD into their cars.

I love how they manage to make a 1min drag race into a 20min video.

12:05 - Matt making an ‘edging’ joke dealt about 20 points of psychic damage to me 😂

Nice video but it is a bit frustrating as an GT63s owner, I have GT exactly same as in the video and this is not the full power of this beast, the one in the race has a problem with boost and turbos one of them is not working well and I had the same problem before in mine and I already fixed it, it's more like a manufacturing problem in almost all GT63s 4-door, also you see at 16:29 in the middle gauge it should be 900Nm stable when full throttle not less with 1Nm at all, As an AMG owner and On behalf of all AMG lovers we demand carwow team to bring another clean and healthy GT63s and do this race again!!!

So crazy to me that so many people love the RS6 but hate the RS7, they're literally the same car except one has a lift back😂

this new model seems to set the bar higher. that's progress and that's the beauty of rivalries. constantly trying to one up each other.
