- We’ve got our hands on the all-new Audi RS6 Performance, and we’re about to find out if it has what it needs to compete with Mat’s new long-term test car, the Audi R8 Spyder!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Audi RS6, it’s powered by the same 4-litre twin-turbo V8 as the regular Audi RS6. However, power has been increased slightly over the regular car, and it now produces 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is delivered to all-four wheels via an 8-speed torque converter gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,090kg. If you’re looking to pick up an all-new one, it’ll set you back around £113,000.
Then we have the R8. It’s equipped with a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 which can produce 620hp and 580Nm of torque. This power is delivered to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it weighs a fair bit less than the RS6, coming in at 1,695kg.
However, while it’s a lot lighter than the RS6, it’s also a lot more expensive, coming in at around £160,000!
So the RS6 is slightly more powerful, but surely a practical family estate can’t beat a supercar… Right?! There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

Practical family estate or a supercar... Which are you choosing? 👀
Rs6 for ever
R8
Rs6
Rs6 for daily life, R8 for fun
RS6
Crazy to think that RS6 had a pretty great performance despite it being so heavy. Great race.
The RS6 being a family-friendly estate and just being inches behind the R8, is straight up baller status. Well done.
That rs6 is a bloody beast
No he just had a good start
and its such a beauty as well
And a fast estate.
That RS6 launch is just INSANE.
Yep. The RS6's launch kinda reminded me to Ducati Desmosedici GP21 with Holeshot Device.
@Christopher-JaydenJesus is God
@@user-gl4sd9xe3bthere is no god😂
@ant8834 that's what you believe...
ZzzzzzzzZzz
RS6 would be a killer if it had a little less weight. Still pretty impressive tho🤛🏾
You'd need to shave 500kg but then it'd have alot less luxury and less equipment
@@6ft7guy lol you cant even shave 500kg from that RS 6
All you’d have to do is remove that useless 48v mild hybrid battery setup. That would easily remove about 200kgs, give it a carbon roof, and some lightweight 20” wheels instead of 22”… and boom.
@stephenEs3532 yes you can lmao. I Hage one and easily did that. Maybe own one before saying dumb shit.
@@Divine_Serpent_Gehand lightweight seats like m5cs
Love the way the RS6 lifts when it launches still a very impressive car.
I think it looks wack.
@@swansmeister it's normal for a sport wagon
@@swansmeisterno one asked you
Its like from a slingshot
@@swansmeisterpoor 🗿🍷
That R8 really sounds epic except the stationary but it can be managed by removing the limiter
The R8 has 320kph top speed even though the acceleration isnt all that great.
Not the best sounding V10 but def awesome. Love 10 and 12cyl personally, or their 5 and 6 cylinder little siblings lol
@purwantiallan5089 well unless you tune it. With even just some bolt ones and stuff they do quite well, hence how many of those and Hurracans end up in drag race comps etc
@@hi_tech_reptileslisten to the V10+ modell (no Soft limiter)
Having the roof up would definitely help the R8 a lot, Matt. Especially at over 120mph.
And the award for stating the obvious goes to numpty
They very likely knew that but wanted to keep it as close as possible and also it feels cool lol
That Audi RS6 wagon is VERY impressive for what it is. It would surprise a LOT of cars on the road.
Audi RS6 and Impreza Wagon STi Version V are also impressive.
surprised my grandma on crosswalk as well
What it is? It's the most expensive from all opponents and the least reliable ..and in 2023 they made it actually fast
Race starts at 4:38
Thank you.
Thanks I moved directly because I know there is soft limiter so sound check 🗑
God
Keep up the good works, watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Watching here also from Indonesia, @anthonyakpanya1329.
So long waiting for this drag race between these two beast
It will be awesome to see a drang race between the normal rs6 VS the performance rs6 to see the difference between the 30hp upgrade
Would be awesome if we have a drag race between Audi RS6, Hotmatch Cuevito and 1966 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
No
The V10 Sounds Absolute awesome what an engine
Got to love a v10 , its no LFA but it still sounds fantastic .
@@andljoyyep. At least it sounded like Gemballa Turbo Coupe.
The 5.2L V10 in both the R8 and Huracan is a masterpiece. They're not producing this V10 anymore, so I will miss it.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan I love it in my S6, can only imagine what it's like in those!
I would love to see the new Audi RS7 Vs the Audi RS6 Performance 💯
Slight advantage for the RS7

@@vladislavdimitrov4646disadvantage the rs7 weighs more than the rs6 same talk and power
@@muqz187 really?
M5cs or rs7 or rs6 which ia faster??
@carwow it would be awesome to test a pack of normal cars, against a supercar just to see the diference: for example a Audi 2.0 tdi vs a Aventador... or a Citroen C4 against a Mclaren. It would be interesting to see the diference of both worlds.
Launch control doesn't quite bypass the rev limiter, it just bring the limit a bit higher :) I believe on some Audi it's the gear selector that need to be in between position for the limit to be bypassed.
Dunno why you bother with the brake test no one cares..
Please bring drag race between m5 cs and R8
And the Mercedes gt63 amg
Finally! Content on your daily driver, been waiting months for this
You're driving skills are indeed amazing, both of you
Not bad sport wagon! It almost as fast as super car!
Yep. Even also faster than 1997 R390 GT1 ROAD CAR.
That was so much fun, the only thing I would do is swap the colours around, the rs6 in semi subtle green would look dreamy & the R8 suits a brighter colour, really enjoyed this video :)

Oh thanks!!!
I don't really know why this channel make us listen to that guy every single time, who make them think we want to hear Watson talk all that bullshit!?!??!
🤷🏻♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
king!
Nice
@Christopher-Jayden get a life
Now this race makes me wonder how would the M5 CS do against the Audi R8 🤔 @Matt Watson I know you can make it happen
R8 V10 performance,Plus would do that.
It wld be close but r8 takes it trustt
This was exciting, informative and funny race. Nice!
Wish you would show the time for each quarter mile race. It would be interesting to see if there is any change in the launches vs how well you launch etc
Hi there Matt! I have a quick trick for the soud check when the car has a softlimiter. If you hold the gear selector between neutral and drive, the gearbox wont engage neither the softlimiter system. Then you can reach that redline beautfull sound! Take care and nice content! (Works on most cars)
sound ehm bad for the gearbox? but idk tbh
@@theplayerofus319 tbh i don’t really know if its bad or nah but it doest engage it stays like neutral. I already did it a couple of times and the car was completely fine
Wow. Matt has another go on the brake test! I shouldn't even be surprised 😂
Matt's the equivalent of the fat kid that owns the football but then takes it home in a huff early if the other team doesn't let him score
Thr aerial shots reminded me of national lampoons vacation with Chevy chase in his family wagon and the bird in the ferrari
Good to see the R8 finally fixed it's bogging down issue. Great video
I gotta say it again, the spec on that R8 is A1, Matt. Well done
RS3 is my favorite of the RS because RS4 upwards rocket off the line but seem to reach a limit quickly then get owned
That inline 5 cylinder is an amazing engine.
@@Herkimer_Snerd totally, and it sounds fantastic, especially when shifting, and it sounds beyond good when tuned
Great launches, seen other chanels suck at this.
Nice race
That audi R8 color is so nice under the sun
You should do a race where you have to haul a bunch of luggage and groceries around a track and see if the R8 can compensate its lack of cargo space with raw speed.
R8s are not that great on the track to begin with, maybe that could work with the GT version
That may be the worst idea in the history of ideas
But I still think it's a cool idea. 🤷♂️
How pointless
great races!!!
Wow, it's sunny for once 🌞
What's better than a rainy Wednesday with a drag race full of Audis 🥰🥳
No rain here 🎉😏
No rain here, you live in uk??😅
@@arah1194 in my dream. Yeah 😂😂
@@elikajohnson2176i also noticed a little rain here, Elika Johnson.
@@hotdogtopdogno rain in Indonesia either.
Carwow videos are so simple yet so great, loving this simplicity more and more
I feel you guys, was high as I was watching this, bang onnnn
I just wanna say that the synchro lunch was one of best things I've watched today.
Considering the extra weight of the RS6 was like carrying 4 extra passengers that was closer than I thought it would be.
What a great duo you made mate ! Good luck for you therapy Mat’ 😆
Now that could be awesome.
I really loves this video. Keep up the good content matt
I appreciate it bro.
When doing the sound comparisons, they should also do a rolling sound check too to let people hear the cars without the limiters.
A station wagon can't beat a supercar, but it wasn't bad at all. Thanks for the video!
R8 Perf vs M5 CS will be a neck to neck battle.
Don't expect anything else from a car with better power to weight ratio. R8 spider is nearly as heavy as m5 cs, but m5 cs is realistically around 700hp
We are appreciating your both launching with a ❤like mat🎉
Agree. And Mat not jumpstarting it.
Please do more of the aerial drone shots 🙏
FYI: For anyone wondering why the windows on the Audi R8 look like they are covered in spots, it's because they have a polarised filter on the camera.
Why just the r8 windows though?
@@Mrbeastly84 Because only that car had that type of window film.
That R8 kickdown in comfort is crazy
its actually strange to do that. myself and other r8 4s owners experienced a confusing behavior when doing kickdown in confort. it feels like the car is going into a kind of launch control. it shows second gear as example but you dont go forward. suddendly a gear will be kicked in and it shots off. in S it feels completly different.
@ggtoxicanyway6172 well I can't relate but one day I hope to own an R8, cheers mate
If I’m driving my R8 in comfort, something is wrong with me.
Yeah naturally aspirated engines and dual clutch transmissions for the win :) The response is really nice and doesn't have any lag. I will say that the Lamborghini Huracan responds a bit better than the R8, but still really nice.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan Crazy pairing, just wished they didn't mess up the launch control cause most of the time it seems to bog down
Quality drag race
oh mein got! it is very satisfying to watch the launch of the 3rd race
Am I the only one who's surprised with the result of the rs6 performance 😅😅
Hell its kinda lot faster than even R32GTR 1991.
@@purwantiallan5089 bro youre replying to every comment with this jap crap. literally nobody cares, i could run faster than that car
@@purwantiallan5089 ??
@purwantiallan5089 300hp, old tech, old aero management vs 630hp, new tech, new aero.
That V10 will be missed!
Agree. V10 engines much like the V10 F1 engines are still SHINY till this day.
@Christopher-Jayden thanks for the invite....... but no thanks
This has to be one of the most amazing races on this channel 😂
My hair would fly away If i sat in that cab😂
@Christopher-Jaydendamn bro just suggest hair spray next time. Not that serious.
@@RaynorM lol
I feel like the rs6 needs stiffer suspension 😂😂 the dip from both launch and braking is mental!!
I think they have it in an Individual setting. Comfort mode in my RS7 doesn't squat like that because it is a reduced power mode, Dynamic mode launches flat with full power and keeps the weight over the front tyres, so my guess is an Individual setting with the cushy Comfort suspension and full Dynamic Power in the engine, gearbox and diff. Much better weight transfer to the rear, and hell, this RS6 launches.
@@tepidtuna7450 fair enough, would it not be better for it to be in dynamic though then? Despite the epic launches already
12:14 Mat walking out of the car like my grandpa in a road range😂
I was moving to have my dinner and than i saw you uploaded a new video now the dinner will goin to be fun 😋🏎️
The lunch on the RS6 is just unbelievable but R8 is R8, with performance Quattro no one has a chance in the price range.
The R8 always has good launches like the 1970 Plymouth Cuda.
These are two of my favourite cars, can’t wait to watch this
Same!
Just watch it dude wtff
@@lovecamila ?
@@lennonryan4130Same too for me.
@@lovecamilathat one looked certainly cool.
Both wonderful auto!!
This video was excellent.
Never seen Mat happier to win a race! That’s because the R8 is his own car!
Dude you got selected! Congrats mang
R8 needs some twin turbos
Yeah, but being naturally aspirated, it has a better engine response without turbo lag, and that dual clutch is really nice in terms of shift logic. Plus you don't see naturally aspirated supercars nowadays (although the R8 is also going away).
I would have not expected it being this close! V10 vs V8 and so much weight difference, crazy.
Matt this is one of the best( if not THE BEST) episode of carwow 👍😁
Next opponent for R8 should be M5 C's 🤔
The R8 sounds insanely good here for some reason
The V10 Lambo motors are probably THE best sounding V10's ever. That deep bass growl is epic. :The BMW V10's from the M6/M5 in the mid to late 2000's are great as well. Folks rave about the LFA, which I am not a huge fan of the exhaust note, as it is raspier and not as deep.

@@williewade1lexus lfa v10 sounds amazing.

Love carwow
Just imagine if Audi decided to put twinturbo kit on R8. Easily 850 hp and 1000Nm. What a beast that would have been.
It'd defeat the purpose though, the point is having an NA engine. It's been proven that the engine can take more than 1000HP judging by those Huracan drag builds.
@@xIcarus227
I understand what you are talking about and you are absolutely right. But those aftermatket builds are not the same as the factory one.
Next upload really was a banger
It's crazy the intro to the race takes more time than the 3 drag races combined
I would take both , it doesn't matter who is slightly faster . 🧘
Hard choice tbh, i’ll take both if i can 😂
@Christopher-Jaydenwould Allah choose the RS8 or RS6?
@@Char1ieCimao😂
Do a series where you drag race the different specs in a line up... like A5 vs S5 vs RS5 etc
Like to see the outcome with a stage 1 mapp on the rs6 given how much it would still be under the price of the r8 seeing how close they were !
A bit of a strange comparison using a Spyder with the roof off(!) haha, the V10+ Coupe is much much quicker and would absolutely wipe the floor with the RS6 Performance.
Sure after 200km/h arrodynami😊 is important
R8 all the way🎉😂
It’s sunny for once!!! ☀️
12:26 no Mat... you were dressed and perfectly in line to perfom a running race ! props to the drone pilot !
I pray we all have both these on our driveaways one day 🙏

This is the best episode ever😂😂😂😂😂 Matt and Nic ain’t a bad combo at all😂😂
To bypass the rev limiter/soft limiter , move the gear slightly between P and N till you don't see any gear displayed in the cluster, then rev it
Soft limiters are 🤬
Hands down best episode created by Mat Watson and Carwow 🙌
No doubt. Not even latest episodes from Harry's Garage can match it.
Really appreciate it bro 😁😁😁
