Audi RS7 vs RS4: DRAG RACE

Sell your car for free with Carwow: bit.ly/Sell-Yo...
We’ve got our hands on the limited-edition Audi RS4 Competition, and we’re about to see how this extra-special RS4 compares to the all-new Audi RS7 Performance!
So let’s see how the two compare. The RS4 Competition comes with the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 as in the standard car. The engine also produces the same 450hp and 600Nm as the regular car. However, it’s had several upgrades applied to it, including a tweak to the gearbox software to help it shift and launch better than the standard car!
Power is still sent to all four wheels via the 8-speed automatic gearbox, and this limited-edition RS4 tips the scales at 1,785kg.
Then we come to the RS7 Performance. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this can put down 630hp and 800Nm. Just like the RS4 power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,065kg.
So the RS7 weighs more than the RS4, but it also rolls up with an eye-watering high price tag of £133,000! The RS4 may not be that cheap either, costing £84,600, but is the RS7 worth £48,000 more? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
