    Welcome to the greatest Audi drag race of all time!
    We’ve brought together SIX high-performance Audis to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to see which is the must-have Audi RS in 2022.
    But can you pick a winner? The most expensive car here is the R8 V10 Performance, packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp & 580Nm of torque. But don’t be fooled into thinking the biggest price tag guarantees it a victory! After all, the RS e-tron GT may cost £35,000 less, but it’s still the most powerful car here! Its two electric motors combine to put down 637hp & 830Nm of torque!
    Or perhaps the newest car, the Audi RS3 Sportback, could spring a surprise? Sure it’s only packing a 2.5-litre 5 cylinder that can put down 400hp & 500Nm, but could it beat some of its bigger brothers to the finish line?
    There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    RSQ8 I think has had a stage 1 remap, my guess is its sitting around 680-700hp. New idea for car wow videos is "car wow dyno of truth" the manufacturers say it has 400hp but let's find out on the car wow dyno of truth 😁 it will be a big hit i bet.

      This is a nice idea, it could even highlight some of the curiosities I've got around press cars having a better tune than standard.
      If you look at drag races involving the Golf R for example, you'll notice that the press cars were noticeably faster in the quarter mile than customer cars.

      @@matisamiec6791119 The R8 not being turbocharged has nothing to do with its poor launch performance. Quite the contrary actually, turbocharged vehicles usually have poor launch performance unless you artificially build boost by brake boosting before the launch. Initial acceleration is best benefited by high torque numbers, something which turbocharged vehicles usually lack when in the low RPM range during launch.

    That RS3 does itself no shame in the Drag Race. Sure it's last, but 0.7s behind the RS-E-tron despite being over 200bhp down is damn good going, that is a bloody fast car! Especially as the E-tron is more than double the price of the RS3.

      The more I think about it, the more I realise its not that surprising - RS5 has 1 more cylinder and about 400cc more giving it 50hp over the RS3, but more body so its heavier by about 150kg which probably negates the extra engine strength and power.

  • @kierangrant5164
    @kierangrant5164 2 года назад +13

    The reason the RSQ8 is faster than the RS6 is because like all heavier cars with the same engine and running gear, the ecu's are mapped differently as they are pulling more weight so once the car is up to speed its gained momentum so pulls longer and harder than the lighter model with the same running gear. I noticed this with an astra vxr and a zafira vxr both totally standard and same year but the zafira out run the astra. Its based on the mapping..

      I think R8 was launched cold. The tires need warm up for such a high HP car. Matt has done 10.7 sec quarter mile at least 3 different drag races. Even in the below video, he realized it after first launch and did the tire warmup and the second run was golden. Not sure why he didn't do the same.

    The 275/35r21 tire on the RS6 has a circumference of 89.8" which is smaller than the 98.3" 295/40r22 tire on the RSQ8. If both had stock tires and rims for the model plus same gearing, transmissions and engine, then it makes sense that the RS6 had quicker acceleration but the RSQ8 had a higher top speed over the mile.

    The R8 seems to be panic shifting during launch control instead of just letting it bounce off the limiter until it gains traction. This causes it to shift into second gear when it’s only doing 18-26mph which then takes the rpm below its power curve.

    RSQ8 soft limiter has been raised, so clearly it has been tuned. RS6 said he hit 3,000 rpm with same motor as the RSQ8 so if he is revving higher then it has been tuned and explains why it was pulling on the RS6 in the drag races especially rolling start

    Surely Audi is hiding some hp/torque in the case of the RSQ8. Even if the R8 V10 Plus bogged down in its launch, it's just not possible for the RSQ8 weighing about 700kg more, having the same hp as the R8 and the same powertrain and hp/torque figures as the lower, more aerodynamic and 300kg lighter RS6 and still coming in front of both and with this level of consistency (except for the rolling races, in which the R8 has the kickdown advantage and gets up faster but, still, the RSQ8 just leaves the RS6 in its dust).

    Mat, I think that the R8 is having Launch ctrl issues due to the soft limiter. Since it's in it's first generation it must realise that it's past it's 3000 rpm limiter and then it bogs to 2nd then it realises it actually needs to move. That's probably why it bogs from 1st down to 2nd on a launch. This is first generation stuff and hopefully they fix this Launch ctrl issue. Note I am not a rocket scientist or engineer I am just a normal person that can figure this out. Don't worry Mat, this will hopefully not be an issue later on

    Only additional car I would have loved seeing in this matchup Mat is the S8 which I know you just featured in another video - with the ~3.5 second 0-60 you observed I’m sure it probably would have placed somewhere in this pack with a mid/hi 11 second quarter mile - great race all the same!
