DRAG RACE! Audi RS3 Vs Audi TT RS!

[@ArchieHamiltonRacing]

Hope you enjoyed the drag race! Check out BOTB here! bit.ly/Choose-Car-Tickets

[@phillipewillems3081]

Archie Hamilton Racing you need to do a pre PPF TTRS VS

[@phillipewillems3081]

Post PPF... I have a yellow pre PPF you want to do the comparison 😁

[@14boyGenius]

Archie: its seriously close Reality: Miles away

[@kayineson4220]

That TTRS is a pocket rocket. I didnt think the TT would have beaten it by as much as it did. What a car

[@stephenpeacock2627]

I have an rs3 saloon. That rs3 has the same engine . The ttrs pre opf 2017 to 2018 has always been quicker than the rs3 2017 to 2018 as its lighter. The rs3 weight disadvantage is because the rs3 has 2 extra doors, rear seats, proper boot and is slightly bigger,. The Ttrs is also lower and more aerodynamic. Also that rs3 has a pano roof which like mine adds another 30kg. All this helps make a difference. On this 2019 ttrs the opf filter due to the wltp regulation has hampered the launch control and made the car slower and sound crap.

[@adambrown743]

TTRS is a great car! Would love that on my driveway 😍

[@otrz8009]

Seeing as the RS3 is slightly beaten by the A45s, I would really appreciate a video with the TTRS vs the A45s. Make it happen, please.

[@scotthastings8845]

TTRS for me however I’d take a 18 plate without the GPF(gasoline particle filter) due to better sound and less restrictions in the exhaust (could always remove it)

[@mhillenaar]

My daily is a TTRS 2018.... love it... fits my 2 surfboards rtc.. the perfect daily..

[@d40190]

Mark Hillenaar same! My 2 other friends have the 2018 RS3 and I beat them all the time lol. The guy is way too bad on the launches lol

[@speedyboy358]

I hate the EU particle filter, it’s ruined the sound :(

[@scotthastings8845]

Robyananspersie 328 it also has had an impact performance wise, was tested against other cars which before the GPF would beat ( drag race) but they now loose.

The tt still struggles to shake off the hairdresser image

[@petergreen1869]

How many hairdressers can afford £50k? Anyway I have one and I'm a retired accountant.

[@rot_v]

Freddie Jones yeah, the tt... the ttrs on the other hand, it doesn’t look like a hairdressers car lmao

[@krishanattri9305]

Nah the rs3 is more of a sleeper

[@jonr1594]

I would think that the TTRS should be better than it is, considering it costs 16 grand more and has two less doors

[@luciussander8217]

try driving them both... RS3 is pretty dull, TTRS is not. Interior? TTRS in another league... externally, 20" wheels on the TTRS and more aero, looks way better than the fridge on wheels too... should be better? IS BETTER!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

do y’all have the BMW M240i X-Drive AWD or new 2022 Audi RS3 to race against your older RS3?

[@rot_v]

Damn, this new filter really makes the TTRS slow from a dig

[@markphillips116]

Not sure how you can describe a TTRS as being slow. Yes, it's lost something to the 2018 model, but that's literally a few tenths of a second. It'll still do a sub 4 second 0 -60 and hit nearly 180mph. I know, I own a 2019 MY TT RS...

[@pheelyoself2517]

Its the driver trying to keep the video interesting. His launches were worse than a fox body mustang with a live rear end

[@Zeruel82Mk2]

The TT RS doesn't have more power than the RS3, but it's 100 kg (220 pounds) or so lighter. That's why it's faster.

[@chrisgalt7128]

Exactly...I'm surprised very few people have worked this out

[@DHODN]

It does have more horsepow

[@Zeruel82Mk2]

@@DHODN Nope, just less weight.

[@DHODN]

@@Zeruel82Mk2 2 extra horsepower is still 2 extra horsepower. Mathematically it has more power. Weight is not taken into consideration when hp is measured

[@Zeruel82Mk2]

@@DHODN The two cars have exactly the same engine producing exactly the same amount of horsepower. But since one car is lighter, it has a higher power to weight ratio, and is thereby faster.

[@jimgemmell2831]

Still take the RS3 though. A lot closer than you'd think.

[@pheelyoself2517]

No it wasn't

[@psycheevolved1428]

Really not

[@_Ambition124]

Definitely wasn't lol

[@haidersohail1649]

Great Drag Race. However in conclusion, the RS3 is more practical, still looks stunning, noticeably has a better exhaust note oddly and looks more sleeper. The TTRS is a great unicorn and destroys similarly priced cars excluding a GTR but it all goes down to choice

[@christofferangell333]

Haider Sohail The RS3 os only more practical if you have kids. You’d be surprised how much room it is in the TTRS. I’ve had both an A3 and TT’s... and both is a superb daily. PS. I also have two dogs (6-8kg) and both dog cages can fit in the trunk with luggage ++.

[@Archerke]

I have a ttrs and use it as a family car, its not that unpractical.. the sound is exactly the same actually, but they fucked up the sound since this year.. the engine belongs more in a sportscar like the ttrs instead of a small sedan.. the ttrs looks better, is also a little faster and handles a bit better. The rs3 is a better choice for those with a little less budget or want a little more room

[@hugosequeira2997]

Since when does a GTR have a similar same price as a TTRS? It's almost double the price...

[@haidersohail1649]

Hugo Sequeira I don’t know where you are from but in the UK, a standard GTR Premium Edition lists for £72,595. A standard TTRS goes for about £63,000. And when you Spec it the way you want it, it will be the same price as a GTR

[@KING0SISQO]

It won because of its less weight. Thought this was obvious.

[@leonhenry4861]

not if you have no brain.

[@fogtown3027]

I know wtf 😂

[@bestman81]

I would like to differ. I don't think the weight matter much on a straight line coz if u put M5 or rs7 with this light TTRS the M5 or rs7 will still win despite the weight. So I think it depends with only horsepower , torque and obvious 0-60. Some heavy fast cars will distroy a light car on a straight line.

[@thekingant2726]

2017 TTRS makes the 2019 TTRS look slow

[@AllcarsPOVreview]

The Kingant27 so true

[@pseudonym6642]

Yeh I think most people dont realise that the TTRS is an Particle friendly 2019 model, and the car launches like a dog in comparison to a 17/18 model...

[@pseudonym6642]

@@glenclough9080 to 60mph... its more mate, if you look at MY17 RS3s... doing circa 3.6-7 to 60mph... 19s are in the low 4s... and the 60ft times are shocking... Furthermore, the tunability is compromised if you dont remove the PF... stage 1 is circa 450bhp max, as opposed to 480bhpish

[@pseudonym6642]

@@glenclough9080 yep its quite disconcerting... theyve essentially taken the sting out of their 2 entry halo models... To the point now, that Id say the new A45S might beat the RS3 in a drag... which is sad, as the old one would have murdered it.

[@BiGNeBsTaNo1]

Just remove the opf filter and you’ll be right. That’s what am doing when my rs3 comes in March

[@TheReal_JLT]

Yesss!!! I like this. Audi make some beautiful fast cars. I totally need to get on BOTB - wish me luck!

[@bambychoi9366]

Big fan of the new TTRS. Audi have managed to get rid of that hairdresser reputation it had a number of years ago.

[@sundershanmugam4269]

not really , would get the Cayman 718 s for similar money, despite the shoebox rs being faster. and im coming from the 981 base Cayman ( admittedly a much slower car but fun to drive)

[@erikdanielsson7467]

Cayman is a hairdressers car lol

[@meltin1]

Aerodynamic is also a factor here. Front surface at TTRS is smaller than RS3’s

[@blackflagpirate3444]

Before the video started I knew the TT RS would win.Both great cars though 🏎💨 The TT has power to To weight ratio that’s why it’s quicker Boys!

[@turboaddict7848]

I mean the TTRS got performance and it looks like beast the only think the rs3 got his four doors tbh

[@drew9312]

Nice comparison- need more of these. Keep them coming.

[@jasonwalsh9211]

I do wonder why the TTRS had poor launches, could simply be reaction time coming off the brake late. TTRS is lighter and has less drag over RS3 so the rolling start was predictable.

[@dragonsickness4561]

i think the hatchback is less aerodynamic. the sedan would stand a slightly better chance. I heard that the RS3 sedan is more aero than a TT RS at certain speed range 60-100 mph ish

Aerodynamics!!! Is the reason the TT wins in reality...

If you check carwow video of the ttrs and the Toyota, the ttrs gets destroyed and apparently the reason is because of the new euro regulations.I think that ttrs is severely restricted.Is this true, or is the ttrs getting slower?

[@anonlincracing2484]

Looking at the footage your launch in the TTRS was late rs3 was a good launch but if u launched the TTRS as good ud see the results that race was clearly down to driver eye skill off the line
