700hp+ RS6 v RS3 v S4: DRAG RACE

Tell manufacturers what you think about your car: bit.ly/-Driver-Power-Survey
It’s time for a tuned Audi drag race!
We’ve got our hands on an RS3, an S4 and an Audi RS6, and all three have been tuned by Awesome GTI! So let’s see how the three compare.
Starting with the RS3, it’s still equipped with a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo, but whereas it normally puts down 400hp and 500Nm, after the tune it now delivers 475hp and 600Nm. It’s still the lightest car here, mind, weighing in at 1,575kg. The cost of the car and tune combined is around £70,000.
Then we have the S4. It originally came with a 3-litre turbo V6, and it’s still equipped with one. However, whereas it normally puts down 354hp and 500Nm, it now delivers 556hp and 843Nm! It weighs 1,835kg and is SO cheap, with the car and tune only costing £24,000!
Then finally we have the RS6. It’s still equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but it now produces 730hp and 1,000Nm, compared to the stock 600hp and 800Nm. It’s no surprise that it’s the heaviest car here, weighing 2,075kg, and the car and tune cost around £65,000.
So will it be a clean sweep for the RS6? Or could the extra weight slow it down? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

[@AlcatrazCrylake]

You don't know. They never said it was just for power upgrades. If the owner wants to track his car you don't want to go for too much power and more for cooling. Even on stock power cooling upgrades would be good for longer hard driving. As well it maybe got suspension upgrades and so on. As well peak power numbers look good but how does the power and torque curve look on most tunes? An MTM 1000hp tune RS6 is not as fast as an Klasen Motors 1000hp RS6 tune.

[@siraff4461]

They just told you power corrupted it. Sometimes not everything is just bolt on and tuned nicely. In this case for the RS6. But... look at the S4 getting 11.4 AN S4! Probably get even more out of it if you strip the car.

[@NuSuntRaresh]

Tyre temperature and track temperature can make a huge difference. I do think the stock rs7 performance launches better than that tuned rs6 but still. That track is surely too cold to show those cars their true quarter mile times

[@chrisrogers5974]

A standard stg1 ECU tune running 93 with an intake will get you 75 HP. They should have done a stg2 tune running E85, with upgraded down pipe, intercooler, intake, and a transmission remap for the shift points, and they could have easily been at 600+ HP for less than $6k.

[@stefanomarcellino6701]

Thats because the price is mainly hardware. The software is only a piggyback tune because they just cracked the 8y RS3 ECU. A full ecu remap will get you 130hp+

Great video as always! But it goes to show, when a car set up by a tuner and by a parts dealer. P.S. 11.6 is stock RS3 8Y times, but for some reason the 8Y's are always pretty slow in the carwow races, don't know why, but 11.6-8 with one ft rollout OFF is pretty consistent in any conditions, here the fastest stock one was 11.8 - ones, and all others it was 12 - 12.1 which is near half a second off.

The piggy back systems are not fully featured upgraded tunes. Furthermore, 034 also has transmission tuning software to match the level of tune the car is running. With E-85 and 034 stage II tune an S4 is in the neighborhood of 500hp and over 600 ft lb (813 nm for the rest of the world) of torque. When wrapped in the plain wrapper the S4 is, it is a great sleeper.
