The 4.2L would've performed even better with the transmission set to "S". but it took the cake anyway. However: Both engines are very good and provide ample power to master everyday traffic situations just fine.
@@kevindiener6391 IDK... We have the 3.0TDI in a Touareg with manual Transmission and the 4.2 in the A8 with automatic Transmission, so a direct comparison isn't really possible. I just know for a fact that it does make quite a difference in regards to acceleration when the transmission is set to "S" in our Porsche Cayenne Turbo vs. being set to "D". But I'll check it out with the A8 tomorow when we take it on another road-trip.
Remarkably little difference?! The V8 is at least 5 seconds faster from 0-100 mph. That's a lot in the real world. At autobahn speeds, the difference will be even more pronounced. It's not unusual to see near 400 bhp and 560 lb ft of torque with a tuned 4.2. They're rocket ships when remapped.
so you watched the temperature, but have you noticed, that 4.2 had drive mode, while the 3.0 had sport, but the difference was still a lot noticable? fck the temperature difference.. :D you cannot even compare the 3.0 single turbo V6 to 4.2 biturbo V8. Even when the modes or temperature are different. But if we talk about comfort and noise isolation. Yes, the 3.0 TDI is a winner. You cannot even hear the engine to be honest. And if you are the type of comfort guy in a suit, you dont want the car boost kick when you press the gas pedal. You want some fluent start and quiet. Not engine power boost kick and sound.
one car its -4oC outside and the other is driving in +22oC, plus one is in D and the other car is in S mode.
And third thing we don't know which is which 😂 idiotic video😅
4.2TDI V8! The Machine!
Oke
Yep da macini
1 was on sport mode and other on D
Nice!

Doesn't change anything when you floor it....

@@berndk.9741 S mode in those audi just makes it shift at higher rpm but since you're flooring it, it will shift at redline
remarkably little difference - but a very poor test with the different drive modes and temperatures outside. Strange comparison honestly.

ye they are great engines - just that the comparison in the video didn't display that fully imho@@Jimbo8012
-4 and +22 C
and ?
@@adas4024 too hard to explain to you,
А что объяснить хотите? Что турбобуст лучше когда холодно?

@@deirryx7404 d mode works same as s when u kickdown
Le 4.2 il est enrhumé mdrrrrr
D vs S :D
It doesn’t matter. If you press the gas pedal to 100%, the gearbox changes gears in the same way in S and D.
@@Kapiza-ic8wg agree

Bulshit you recorded dead Cars 😂😂😂 i own D3 with 3.0 tdi and its lift speed much better then you show us.
Я владею 4.2 и она быстрее, чем на видео
