2020 Audi TTRS vs. Audi RS3 | Keeping it in the Family

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, if you haven't already, watch our individual acceleration tests for both cars. Audi RS3 on pump 93 >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ_Io5t5mbtoj7c Audi TTRS on E20/93 mix >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWGqqIFjo5etf8U

[@TenSecondS4]

When you’re trying to find the true difference between the two cars, why would you run one in auto and the other in manual? Makes no sense. Did the RS3 have the carbon ceramic brakes up front?

[@Abercrombemonkey]

Tell me about it, makes no damn sense how dumb this sounds. Run both in sport auto and both in manual, I lost brain cells

[@jimtrepp3292]

Holy cow, the cinematography and production level is off the charts here!

[@ashishpatel350]

Yeah I found this channel few months ago. And I was amazed they didn't have a lot more viewers.

[@Poorschedriver]

AMAZING. As some others said, the engine really opens up after it's broken in. Considering the performance difference can be tossed up to a bad tank of gas, I'm content with my RS3. Plus it's so subtle it's like walking around with a sawed off shotgun under your jacket.

[@raywalteroutdoors]

That's why I kept my S4 it looks like my dad's car

[@ChrisPrimitive]

best way to describe a RS 😅

[@undergroundoutlaw411]

This is such a good channel lol. So underrated

[@exotixfan]

One would think the lighter car with the same power would win, but rumor has it it also has smaller intercoolers so it might be heatsoaking in the summertime weather. Then again, that's no excuse to have a RS, or "high performance" variant do that kind of thing.

[@TheSpeedyGhost]

Well, they probably do not have the same amount of power - i.e. the RS3 has more HP for whatever reason (e.g. production variation or maybe this particular TTRS has some issues, who knows...). And normally (/theoretically) the TTRS would win the race, since it is lighter and has lower aerodynamic drag (Cd x A) - and generally speaking the TTRS's also do so (googl if you don't believe). BTW do not believe in rumors - the RS3 and TTRS have the same intercooler (not intercoolerS, only one), cf. Audi PN 8V0145803B

[@_Ambition124]

Ttrs is both quicker and faster than the rs3 stock vs stock ... lighter, more aero etc.

[@DirtDude117]

Funny thing about these cars is they have different tuning for both the TCM and ECM while having roughly the same drivetrain. Even using the same fuel station and testing auto vs auto you'll see similar results. But when you tune both of them with the same Off-The-Shelf tune you see the TT-RS run better numbers. That said, I would pick the RS3 over this gen TT-RS. If I'm getting a TT-RS it would be the previous "manual only" generation with the stronger bottom end

[@jasonjason3224]

How do the manual transmissions hold up?

[@allwheelboost]

TTRS almost looks like a mini R35 when it was launching off the line there. Cute little things they are.

[@Icygt500]

Lol cute little thing

[@noblevengeance312]

Guivensthecar guy my thoughts exactly

[@josephshehan4763]

Why not run the TT RS in Manual mode and the RS3 in auto to see if the roles are reversed?

[@byronwilletts101]

Run them both in manual!

[@pascaltaillefer1497]

They should be run both in auto , just to be equal. In manual one can be better at shifting, its the car that needs to be compared not the drivers.

[@Abercrombemonkey]

You would think they would of thought of this, maybe that's why they don't have as many views as other channels

I have a 2018 TTRS and raced stock RS3’s my TT always won. Also turbocharged cars gain some HP when they get broken in. The cars I raced had less miles on them.

[@simonchan2457]

Awesome content!!

[@Archerke]

Is this staged? Either it is made by rs3 fanboys, or something wrong with the guy driving the ttrs? The ttrs is quite alot faster irl, so this video makes no sense.. unless its a facelift ttrs vs a prior 2019 rs3 that doesnt have the partical filter in it yet.. same build year the ttrs always wins by quite a few tenths to 60, quarter mile, and its better around a track 2.

[@TheSpeedyGhost]

Good point with the particulate filter

[@Abercrombemonkey]

So why wouldn't you run the TTRs in manual as well ...?

[@fastlanelife3218]

I have a 2019 TTRS (4,500 miles) that is 100% stock running 92 octane. Had the GF in the car with some groceries and did a Dragy 60-130 at 12.51. Not sure what was up with this one, just providing another data point. Loved the cinematography in this video though, keep it up.

[@pascaltaillefer1497]

I did a 0-60 in 3.7 and they say its supose to do 3.9 .

[@detailcentral]

Good video. Interesting information pertaining to the fuel.

[@mabatz]

RS3 has a smaller overall diameter wheel/tire combination so the final drive will be effectively higher if the gearing is the same between the two cars. This will help the RS3 to accelerate quicker than it would with the same overall diameter wheel/tire combination as the TTRS.

[@joshuaaguavil5684]

This video helped me make my mind up. For the past month ive been contemplating on getting either the ttrs or rs3. Looks like im getting a rs3.

[@ashishpatel350]

Rs3 should be a hatch back. Never liked the lock of the Rs3 sedan. But the ttrs is like a mini r8 when heavily moded

[@TheEryk03]

I have TT RS and it have nothing to R8. Both very different constructions.

Interesting! Maybe a second race to test the fuel theory? Edit: Coupe preferred (what I’ve got).

[@markingtime5607]

2 different fuels + 2 different modes = not very scientific.

[@noblevengeance312]

Well I’ve been waiting for this one for a while Wassup Sean Ttrs looks way better lol TTRS is so sensitive with the fuel. I’m not too mad the TTRS loses in the straight lines but on a track is where it smokes an RS3 Damn that’s tragic. Timing pulled on TTRS and RS3 passed Why was TTRS in 4th gear with the roll lol Tragic af TRAGIC AF Yeah E85 is one of the first things I’m doing with this car lol Jeez the numbers are tragic lol. An RS3 should never beat a ttrs lol Nice vid, good to see another 5 cylinder vid Sports coupe all the way!

[@DanWangFilms]

Glad you enjoyed the video. It’s very possible that the RS3 is a factory freak because we’ve retested it with an E30 mixture and it’s got some pretty stout results. In that first roll, I think the TTRS had it all in sport auto and the computer kicked down to the right gear just as they crossed the cone.

[@noblevengeance312]

Dan Wang that’s interesting. Factory freak it is haha I hope my TTRS is one of those but it’s unlikely

[@chrishumpherson2901]

This is the weirdest video ever, it makes no sense and defies the laws of physics.... I have a brand new TTRS and I have drag raced my mates brand new RS3 and I’m a car length ahead every single time, which makes sense as it’s lighter. You have set this up to cause controversy or the guy driving the TTRS is clueless. Unless in the UK the cars are different? Why would Audi sell a car that’s less practical and slower than a RS3 family friendly car and charge more? LOL

[@kushing8]

TTRS for me😎

[@honza2755]

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

Clearly your testing is flawed.

[@allantilley3716]

I don't get the point of this video... running the same car in manual mode each time and then surprised at the end by the results?? Surprised you didn't give the RS3 a 5 second head start and then wonder why the TTRS didn't win.

[@Abercrombemonkey]

This video made no sense bro, why not run TTRs in manual and other in auto or both in manual, like Jesus help them please.

[@DBWizzz]

Why not use manual mode in both cars for a fair comparison?

@@xToiba You use a different octane rating system in Germany. Over here, we use AKI. Over there, you use RON. Your 98 is the same as our 93.

I guess not all 93 octane are created equal. Good thing I got a station with E85 a the pump near me.

[@Treizez34]

I think saying that the RS3 is geared towards family duties is seriously stretching it..... it provides passenger capacity in a pinch, but really isn't a good family vehicle (though yes, it is better than the TT)

[@Konsfps]

I picked the rs3 and couldn’t be happier. I’m sure the ttrs is a bit faster due to the weight but I love the sleeper feel. Plus the ttrs is not as practical as the rs3 and since I have a cayman I needed it to be. My car is currently stage 2 e85 and full weight it runs mid 10s all day. Good content.
