And that’s what we expected! More drag races in the future please Autocar! 🔥

[@risan.]

Great race but couldn't help thinking at what speeds cars crossed finish line. Will be awesome to have speed and 0-100 timings in drag race videos.

[@rvipul86]

Agreed with you

[@tusharaggarwal9115]

Comparing RS car with E53.... not a fair comparison ..... rs5 competes with c63s and merc's 53 range competes with audi's S cars

[@asitadkar4976]

Wait a minute, I just saw a XUV 700 against a Polo. I would love to see that drag race ASAP.

[@mejoee227]

[@pranshusahu8678]

SUGGESTION: Please add the speed of cars when they cross the finish line.. will make the races more interesting!

Next season, we're on!

E53 ain't even a fully blown AMG while the RS5 is a fully blown RS car... waiting for the 2022 c63 because it will thrash that rs5 with just 4 cylinders :)

C63 is not RS rival tho, it's way more expensive

Please do more drag races. And they should be this quick rather than a 10 mins video. Also please exchange drivers for second race.

[@anantbansal4614]

Wow! what a great drag with the best cars with best drivers

Hey guys! Loved it! Please also add the 0-100kph times of both the cars in the drag race. ✌️

[@nishitgupta7917]

Crazy! Sound check was crazyyy and this race too! Could you do a comparison of latest and previous generation models? That would be interesting too. Like you did for Honda City!

[@parasjain8632]

One question why the distance is not in km instead of miles because we are measuring in km/h for speed so why not for distance

[@solicitor7793]

Pl do more and more drag races

[@chiragghosh577]

Is rs5 the fastest car in its price of 1.2 crores on road ? Plzz tell me Or are there any Beamer or Merc alternative with faster 0-100 ?

You used the AMG A45 S for shooting the drag race! Was that for real? It was ahead of both the contenders. The Green looking car is a Mean driving car. On a lighter note, there's something with the color Green. It turns anything into a beast. May it be the AMG GT-R Coupe or this RS5. Mind boggling. Mind boggling. Mind boggling!!!🔥🔥🔥
