- It’s time for an Audi RS showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Audi RS3 Performance & Audi RS7 Performance, and they’re facing off against an Audi RS5 Competition Plus!
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the RS3, it’s powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged 5 cylinder that produces 407hp (7hp more than the standard RS3, no less!) and 500Nm of torque. It weighs in at 1,560kg, and it costs around £65,000. But be warned, UK viewers - this one isn’t being released in the UK!
Alongside it we have the RS5 Competition Plus. It’s housing a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet which is good for 450hp and 600Nm of torque. As you’d expect, it’s heavier than the RS3, weighing in at 1,695kg, and it also costs more, coming in at around £85,000.
Then finally we have the Audi RS7 Performance. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this delivers 630hp and 850Nm. It’s the heaviest car here, at 2,065kg, and it’s also the most expensive, costing around £119,000.
So will it be a clean sweep for the RS7? Or could one of the other cars spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

@@carwowI don’t think the RS7 is a Perf
Rs3 gang
Roll the vehicle forward at around 1-5 mph and put it in neutral. You’ll bypass the soft limiter.
This needs to be massively liked so Carwow can pin it !
Doesn’t work,i hava a rsq8,when i roll the car and then put it in N still revs up to 3000rpm,its so fucking annoying!
Anyway guys if a car has a soft limiter is for the engine safety
This is BS. The soft limiter is always on as long as a gear isn’t engaged. You can be doing 300kmh and put it in neutral to try and rev it and it’ll still have the soft limiter on. So I have no idea how you got your info and why you have so many likes.
@@alexchiuta2281same problem with my rs3
I am glad he asked the Audi guy about these damn soft limiters !
LOUD is a problem. Noise pollution is a problem that requires treatment. Therefore you are being limited in some way.
There are rev limiters to prevent the engine from overrevving and blowing up. There are speed limiters to prevent the axles from taking damage over not being able to handle the power. There are also safety concerns over some people driving too fast on the interstate/autobahn.
@@steviewonderzafulno.
@@steviewonderzaful so you want to say that the car is more powerfull than it can withstand? and can the limiters be removed?
i just went to comments to see if he asked about that ahahahhah ty
Yea and he sidestepped the question completely
Dino answering every question like he's in an interview after a FIA race😂
Have you tried answering Italian questions in Italian ?
@@neilmcmahonwhat about Italian words in Russian?
🧐 yes indeed yes innndeed !
yes but thats how most germans speak english..... now lets try you in their language. LOL
Having Yanni and other youtubers is fun, but it is also very nice having some real people from the industry. It is good to see their passion in what they are doing.
Yianni is a cretin
Yanni is useless. Get rid of him.
shut up , yiu're probably new to the channel @@janoycresnova9156
Let's just take a moment to apricate how stable the RS3 was at 200+ km/h with semislicks in this pouring rain
Quattro.
Semis arent that bad in rain in general. It really depends on the pattern of a specific tire. Some have the minimal tread just to be streetlegal, while others are more daily drivable. Dumb me going 200 in heavy rain on semis in 285 and 305 dimensions on a sports car, luckily was all fine. And they weren't new either, so even less tread. Has nothing to do with quattro of course.
Says more about the tires than the car
@@Speedy1st on street legal semis?
The RS7 was stable. The RS3 was all over the place at 200km/h. You can even see on the speedo Mat lift off a bit on the rolling race.
I would love to see this race again in dry weather
Or even in Sakhir Bahrain.
Dindo is just such a humble man. Love races with him.
3:09 this is not the RS7 Performance! This is the normal 600hp and 800 NM of torque RS7! 😂
💯
Audi stability in wet weather is one of the things that make you fall in love with these cars.
RS7 always motivates me to work harder to buy one 🔥🔥🔥
In Turkey, you can tear your as*hole but you cant buy one...
Later you will need motivation again to pay for the manteinance and repairs 😂
I have the same motivation but for the M8 competition 🎉😊
@@GokhanOzcelik89 So ? 😅
this car screams small dick, better invest all that money in something that brings more money
I think Sebastian collected more data from these races for R&D than he could do at his facility in a year.
Sebastian collected way more data than Matt.
You would not believe how much data is collected and what kind of driving is in question during OEM testing.
@@Svrcko944He knows that. It was said tongue in cheek.
Funniest statement on youtube
One of it is that many people don't want soft limiters in their cars
Drag race aside, i just love how these audis look. Damn absolutely gorgeous designs.
No doubt.
They all look the same
@@fs5866timeless design
Audi is the only manufacturer of the big 3 that’s still making good looking cars. BMW and Mercedes have failed miserably over the past few years
Agreed. They are sporty but not over the top. Most of the current BMWs are absolutely hideous.
During the last roll race it very much looked like the RS5 backed off to allow the RS7 to pass, gotta keep the marketing right! 😆😆
So, the car with 180 more hp won't win this race ?
@@neilmcmahon certainly didn't look like it was going to
Nah the guy messed up the shift
@@norafirestorm It's also 300kg lighter so it will get away from start quicker but the RS7 power and torque will overcome that later.
@@neilmcmahon well yes that is very obvious, im quite used to Audi S and RS models, but in this particular race, it really did look like the guy in the RS5 for whatever reason had to lift off to make sure the RS7 won!
I love how i started watching this channel because the drag race was interesting and slowly
this grew into a tradition ❤
Lol me too
Mat Makes it exciting...
@@H-LectorSAMatt always made those drag races amazing.
Lets give a thanks to Audi Sports for being so game to join in these spectacular dragraces. I'm also pretty sure both Sebestian and Dindo gets to have alot of fun! I will say my fav guy other than Mat on the show is the guy with the black hair and ponytail. He is always fun. Yanni is also great.
My fave is the RS5 Coupe. Love the understated looks, and despite not having a V8, it still goes pretty well.
For me always RS3. It weighed less than 5.
Why Rs5 when there is M4 ?? 😂
@@acee6990 Because it's an overall better car. Plain and simple.
Ugliest car shape ever made is the RS5 Coupe. How can you love the look of it😅
@@acee6990because the rs5 is actually a good looking car compared to that chipmunk m4
These cars look hella good in the rain
Yes. And also have longer battery bars than RS7 and Aston Martin DB9.
With the R8 discontinued, the RS7 is now the best looking Audi!
Hot wheels
RS3 with some decent tuning are putting out over a thousand horsepower easily and running 9 second quarter miles here in the US. Absolutely beast of an engine
Matt you’re so entertaining, even the Carwow app/website promoting part is so lovley to see you kinda of aware that Ads are bad 😂 but you’re trying to keep it as professional as possible while presenting it with a attitude that the whole video content isnt just a reason to advertise but rather knowing that whats coming is fun and we all here for it. huge applause 👏🏼
7:00 Race start.
No
It would be interesting to see how different types of tyres perform in this scenarios on the same car, from like super budget- super performance, then see the differences in 1/4 mile, breaking, etc.
I had two of those three cars in my garage for a while. the '3' is like a bumblebee! But, the V6 in the '5' paired with it's active chassis is a great blend of smoothness and power. Haven't owned a '7'...yet.
Have rented 7 for 2 months and renting a 6 rn, v8 rumble very nicely but not too loud, rarely pops which I like, attacks the road with delicacy, you don’t get the same violent jerk like in a 3 or 5 and the ride quality is so smooth if you’re not looking at the speedo you wouldn’t realize you hit 220 until you turn a corner and the steering is heavy 😂😂 all time RS7 2017 favourite out of the two, beast of a winter car
Currently own a TTrs and à Rs6 performance (and a 6.2 corvette) there's a real gap between 5 cylinders and 8...
Can appreciate how good matt launched the wrc car in redbull epic drag race . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep. I appreciate it always.
Matt, thats the reason races should be done on a dry road
Have you been to the UK?
Taking that theory to the limit all the drag races should be on a fully prepped drag strip.
Acting like he can control the weather
Pretty sure this is in germany so they have to be tight on time. Can't be waiting for the weather
@dovydas4036 next time read to understand not to respond besides comment on the race and not on other people's vies.....🚮
Was patiently waiting for a drag race cause it's my best shows on this channel❤
Agree.
I’d love to see this again in dry conditions
I am very glad soft limiters are being less restrictive, great from Matt to ask about it!!
RS7 is always 🔥. Absolutely gorgeous beast. Loved the design. 😎👌💪❤️
The first Rs7 has a better back the new one is ugly af...
@@josesalazar6620the back of the RS7 looked like Aston Martin Vanquish. 😂
@@josesalazar6620facts, a new aggressive rear diffuser is a necessity 🔥
Rs7 is one of my favorite cars
It's quick and it looks awesome inside out
630hp, 11,9sec, RS7 is a joke
@@sylvaind.6786 On a thoroughly drenched track, with plenty of wheel spin and aquaplaning the whole way. It's much quicker on a dry surface. You're the joke.
@@Herkimer_Snerd stupid fanboy kicking in...
@sylvaind.6786 in the wet ..you should watch other car wow videos
@@sylvaind.6786you’ve been blinded by the internet that’s extremely fast regardless of conditions you’ve spent too long on tiktok and now you think anything that won’t do a 9s quarter mile or doesn’t have 1000hp is slow
Mat said "Not performance" yet the stats are very much of an RS7 performance
Exactly! So which is it?
That was very impressive considering how wet the track was!
5:35 MAT needs an award for that 🤣🤣
In the thumbnail the rs7 it says that is PERFORMANCE too but in the video you say it’s not a Performance one tho.
Cool race in the other hand! Beautiful line-up 💪🏼
This is why fast Audis all need to be flash tuned.
One, there’s a tonne of power left on the table. Two, soft limiters and top speed limiters are toast.
I didn't know much about what Audi does with the Quattro trims. Thanks for geeking out Matt.
THANK YOU!!! You had a chance to pressure Audi about soft limiters and you did it. Terrific job. Here's a like just for that.
Never have I ever clicked harder and quicker on video until now
The RS3 was obviously at a HUGE disadvantage with those tyres. It would have been much closer in the dry I'm sure. I think given the choice, I'd have the RS3
Brave! Firstly driving that fast in those conditions. And then i could not believe you brake tested from 100mph with those tyres on so close to the other cars😀
Hella amazing.
Very impressive from the RS3 to beat its older sibling with more power. Would like to see the RS3 on summer tyres.
Great video, as always 🚀
How are you gonna say ”great video as always” same second he posted the video? the video is 19mins long theres no way you could have watched it already when vid posted 6mins ago
@@drallox well, now I watched the whole video and my opinion haven’t changed
Just needed to get the RS3's tires warmed up I think that made it hook up better on the 2nd and 3rd race. Great video thanks!
I know why the AUDI RS6 isn`t here... it crashed
You know what's sad? Seeing Matt getting older and older , each year. I was here since the beginning, and he was so young. Thank you Matt for raising us and teaching us about our passion :the cars. ♥♥
some say Matt getting older is the reason everyone's getting older. Something must be done about it. It must!
5:18 "back in the older days you could rev them all to the red line" gotta love how Matt sounds like a boomer
Or even sounded like EMP.
He sounds like a real car guy and hate this shitty soft limiters
Old days for a Boomer was the 1960s. I'm pretty sure Mat wasn't even born yet. It's funny how people lose track of time and forget that 20 years ago was 2003.
Doesn't sound like a boomer, especially since cars didn't have soft limits just a few years ago.
Mat has some balls pushing that RS3 with semi slick trofeo tires in the rain, also that RS5 brave enough with corsas
Really love seeing Dindo in these videos. I met him at the 12hrs of Sebring before he retired, such a nice guy.
Matt, at the beginning of your video, you said that the RS7 is the NON performance model, so the one with “only” 600 HP! Dindo also presented the car as the 600 HP model! So why the graphic with the RS Performance numbers?!
Kagome Higurashi owned the Audi RS7 recently.
Lol! a real German Accent today Matt🤣😂 love this vids.
Crazy dangerous doing that in such wet conditions but amazing to watch, thanks Matt
I thinks it's a little nuts to drag to the 1/2 mile at 160mph to 180mph (in some cars) without a helmet in the dry as anything can happen, but I'm the wet it's even more questionable. Love the channel though!
Trusting Audi is the key that’s why Audi is low-key the best brand to trust no matter the bad weather conditions
@@enviro_400_lifedo you know how aquaplaning works?
@@marcelk3847 when the wheels doesn’t have any contact with the floor but the water lifting the car which is losing grip and you just floating and (spinning in the worst cases)
Your videos are exciting and provide great entertainment for car enthusiasts like me.
I have a small suggestion that I believe would enhance the overall experience even more. It would be fantastic if you could include the speed of the cars at the finish line during these races. Knowing the final speed would not only add an extra level of excitement but also provide valuable information and insights into the performance of each vehicle.
By including this detail, viewers would have a better understanding of the acceleration and top speed capabilities of the cars being compared. It would further contribute to the objective analysis and comparison that carwow is known for.
Thank you for considering my suggestion. I look forward to continuing to enjoy your content and witnessing the incredible races you put together.
Can't believe the rs5 doesn't have 500hp yet to try and keep up with BMW m3/4. And the s5 should be at 400 by now.
At this point I think Audi really don't care about competition with Mercedes or BMW
Audi shifted its focus on reliability/luxury more than performance after 2013. Obviously they could have made the factory tune more HP and TQ but what’s the point 😂more HP, less reliability. I have a 2014 Q5 3.0 that’s 272hp stock and after a simple flash and CAI it’s 430hp. Might as well tune any Audi you purchase, except for the A4’s/A5’s
Both models are about to move to a new generation within the next ~12 months -- more power is coming (although they may consolidate the S4/S5 into a single ICE car).
Each of these cars need at least an extra 100-150hp for their next generation. They will all be hybrids and will be even heavier pigs than they are. RS4/5 is going to need 550-600hp+ due to all the weight that the stupid hybrids system they will add.
100% agreed. Been saying this for a while
I feel like the rs5 is the happy middle ground in every way out of those three. Such beautiful cars
Matt said exactly what I was thinking, Sebastian has some absolutely NASTY launches. Definitely gotta try and have him back on in another Audi drag race!
The old head said “tip-tronic ” hahahaha that’s so early 00’s Audi talk
Soft limiters are first for engine safety.
Damn that rs5 looks amazing, love the rims especially when moving.
Rs3 looks mega in that spec too.
When are we getting an all AMG drag race again?
That would be fun.
So the Haldex system traction of RS 3 it’s quite good from all I see here . I had an A 3 2009 with Haldex system ( older one,obviously) and I had nothing to say about this system. The consumption it’s lower than the Torsen but it’s help me just when I need and it does it in a few situations in the winter .
Mat u never disappoint 🙌🏽
The perception of distance of Sebastian was unreal 😂😂😂
RS3 is damn value for money.
Maybe my next car.
Its not haldex on the RS3 anymore, its made by Magna and it works in largly the same way. The rear diff is more trick though
Fantastic video!
He said RS7 non performance. Big man fix the title
In the title stands rs7 perf but its not a rs7 perf
You gona do the 4, 6 and 8 next then or have we already seen that? Should do them all including the R8's! Another great video peeps 👍
Please do a drag race between a GLC 43 AMG and an X3 M40i and an SQ5! Would pay to see it!
The Torsen diff is excellent compared to a Haldex diff, which is not suitable for poor weather conditions. My 2019 Q5 came with a Haldex diff, while the 2015 Q5 had a Torsen diff. The Haldex diff always resulted in sliding and a loose steering feel when driving on ice and snow. Consequently, I traded in my 2019 Q5 for a GLE, which has a full-time 4Matic drive without any problematic torque split issues. I've had enough with Audi, and I don't plan to buy one again.
All Q5’s are torsen diffs LMAO
MB probably has better tires which makes the difference.
@@notmatchable4427 nope
@@DEJ915 I don’t think so. The differential plays a huge role in slippery conditions. I had winter tires mounted for the Q5
@@in4chandru bro every Audi car from a4 -a8 sedans and suvs are torsen 😂. 3 series and below is Haldex including ttrs
That RS3 is hilarious 😂 Amazingly close all things considered in everything but the braking, especially on those tyres. I don't envy you, Mat!
Hilarious yet amazing.
Power to weight ratio would be a nice addition to the stats!
Should include a power to weight ratio on the specs comparison chart
the hardcore german accent is wild
Loved the brutally honest question to Audi Boss about soft limiter. Lol.
Yep. Audi always nailed them.
Man, that is crazy how you guys race all out when it's raining like that and not hydroplane. I wouldn't even attempt doing so.
This is what weve been waiting for
I bet the rs6 launches the best❤️this video was great❤️Mat always delivers!
Race starts at 7:00
thanks a lot, so we can skip all the BS and go straight to the point without wasting anytime, top this^
Love Mat, that You pushed Sebastian about soft limiters 👍
Great races . you run up to 180 km/h on water ???? You are brave. I don't have your experience of driving. The RS5 is my dream car in this category of prices. I remember the RS5 with the V8, 4.2 liters and 450 hp. Thank you for this videos.
7 more hp than the standard rs3 is actually a joke🤣💀
We go again carwow ...... All day everyday ❤️❤️❤️
Me too loving this from Carwow.
Quattro in winter is just lovely. Even my 2000 TT("Haldex"😅) feels great in inclement weather, they've done a good job for a good number of years.
1999 TT also lovely in Summer and Winter.
So nice to hear executives from car companies that care about what customers want and are car people!
Would love to see how the Audi Rs3 does against the Mercedes A45
Been done multiple times, it's on this channel too
A45 better on roll and rs3 slightly better on launch as we know with quattro.
But RS3 performance vs A45s. It would be an interesting match to see.
@@slats1987 ehnnn
When
@@suhail1200 but the A45 is also quatro too
7 minutes of fluff. This is a 12 minute video.
While watching this, I notice the views climbing! Awesome!!!
Great driving Matt
7:00 is the 1st race thank me later
Great cars but The only RS’s I like are the RS6…
The only missing stat is power to weight ratio. I am happy that I found something missing in Mat's videos😂😂
Amazing drag race
Watching this while the phone is on the dash of an S400d Long wheelbase. Most comfortable carwow watch ever. (My first time driving the new S class and I am so very impressed!)
Rs5 should be 500hp
Agreed i just got.one n I'm pissed off. And suspension is too floaty. It's fkn annoying .at this price point it shud b all proper. The infiniti redsport is more stiff lol. Its still a beast bro love the ra5
Have to repeat this again on a dry day so can see the real performance
WOW, matt finally mentioned about Haldex! Unbelivable!!!
Mat's ability to control the car going over 190km/h just shows how much of a good driver he is 👏🏽
RS5 looks the best, and the performance difference makes it the obvious choice.
this is what I have been waiting for
All car manufacturers should do this with you guys.
