DRAG RACE! NEW AUDI RS3 VS AUDI RS6 AVANT!

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

If this video tells us anything it’s these 2 things: -If they can’t do much in terms of weight reduction, It’s time for Audi to turn the power up on the RS6… big time. -the new RS3 is a monster.

[@ja.5763]

Or there is Something wrong with that RS6. All archies drag races are bad. Like when an Golf R won against the a45s.

[@knight2425]

It’s one thing to have the power but you still need to get it to the ground and the RS3 is much better at it, remember even if you were to punch say another 100hp out of the RS3 the times might not change much as you start to get into power delivery problems. The RS3 is a pretty well balanced vehicle straight out of the factory

[@wynhughes9072]

I don't think the RS6 was trying. Can't believe it was so far behind, sure it wasn't TDI with RS6 body kit and Vossen wheels?..lol

[@pirre97]

On another channel 925motor, the RS6 beats the RS3. Not by much, car length or so, but doesnt get smashed as it does here. Name on the vid 'It’s so close between the new Audi RS 3 and the RS 6!'

RS6 was in Comfort mode 🤣

[@Jousten16]

The RS6 usually does around 11.4 sec on the quarter mile while the RS3 is around 11.7 to 12 seconds. Either the RS6 was in comfort or the driver did something seriously wrong lmao.

[@ron999]

New RS3 does 100-200 km/h in 9.2 seconds (old rs3 in 9.8-9.9), and Stock RS6 does it in 8.1 seconds. This drag race does not make any sense.

[@faustinaadu2284]

[@radosaw4935]

i have seen 8.6-8.7 stock 100-200 rs3 8y

[@gary___87]

Something no good with that RS6 I am sure.

[@ron999]

Also I want to add that Matt Watson drove RS6 and managed to hit 11.4 sec on 1/4 mile. And he also clocked the new 2022 rs3 in perfect condition at 11.98 sec on 1/4 mile.

[@VanatorulDePernute]

Well that rs6 is 1 sec slower then normal :))) so or the driver is in confort mode or the car has a problem 🤣🤣🤣 easy facts

Come on guys. Who are you kidding? The guy on the RS6 was just letting the RS3 win. We are not idiots

Either Archie paid him or the massive alloys and cosmetic add ons is having a huge effect on its speed

I wonder how much you would of beat him if he didn’t jump the launch 😂

[@Tacticuz]

Every single time aswell😂

[@martinporter6478]

Actually if you watch it closely the 6 its launching ahead of him every time

[@jamessamson3639]

Theres 100% something not right, that exact same rs6 is used in the car wow rs drag race and it’s far quicker than the rs3! Maybe it’s purely down to the track conditions and would be a totally different story on a dry day?

[@blzn57miner93]

Agree, something is not right. First of all I'm pretty sure the RS6 is NOT using launch control. You can see the RS3 build up power while the RS6 just sits there. You would definitely see some movement on the RS6 if launch control was being used

[@knight2425]

200hp more also makes it harder to get the power down, the RS3 is a pretty well balanced car out the factory and one thing I’m interested to see is when modding the RS3, if you make more power then how does it change performance as it will start struggling to get off the line

[@seanmthethwa00]

I can give the rs3 a win when launching from 0 but a rolling race nah something's not right

[@jamessamson3639]

@@seanmthethwa00 the guy driving the rs6 doesn’t even use launch crontrol by the looks of it and back to the car wow drag race the rs6 beats the rs3 with ease

[@fisayodele4003]

@@jamessamson3639 carwow drag races are fake, the new rs3 does the 1/4 mile in 11.4-11.7 but on carwow is always around 11.8-12 seconds also the rs5 beat the rs3 on the carwow video when everyone knows the rs3 is faster even the old rs3 was faster than the rs5, on carwow, he makes the races seem reasonable.

[@mattphilpott99]

Archie getting SO excited. He's just not used to winning!!!

[@RikiCL]

the only possible reason the RS6 was slower than the RS3 might be the fact that he might have not turned off traction control completely on the RS6, which makes the car slower

[@joescottbrown7017]

Sick video Archie and new hair looks 10/10 lad

[@mambacuriall]

love it! always been a fan of smaller cars because they're lighter and quicker. great race 🏁🏁🏁

[@henrychen2616]

they aren't actually quicker in drag since manufacturers want to push the bigger car as flagship. the video clearly shows something wrong as official times for rs6 is quicker. But smaller car definitely wins track

[@Papirind26]

Either the RS6 is dud or the RS3 actually produces more power than claimed on paper as the RS6's P/W ratio is around 280hp per ton and the RS3 is 260hp per ton. So in theory the RS6 should have been pulling away from the RS3 not the other way round.

[@silverathlon]

Very strange results considering the carwow video shows a completely different result. The RS6 beats the RS3 in both the drag and roll race. Even the RS5 beats the RS3.

[@nicholasreid3552]

If you watch Carwow’s drag race where they race every single Audi RS model, the RS3 comes last and gets spanked by RS6, the RS3 8Y is fast but not that fast

[@evaristocorripio5434]

There's definitely something going on, the rs6 is faster, but even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be that big of a difference.

[@MrRonan3]

RS6 too fat mate,

[@danield9737]

Nahh this can't be true because on another drag race the rs6 did 0-60 in 3.3 and the rs3 took 3.63. So ultimately its either the rs3 wasn't stock or that the rs6 driver was Letting the rs3 win

[@Average_Bruh]

I have found that some Rs3 8Y actually perform better than others. Some journalists got 3.1 secs 0-60 in the RS3. So somewhere in Audi, the quality control guys seem to sending out over power 8Y.

[@ron999]

@@Average_Bruh But still stock RS6 can do 100-200 km/h faster than the new rs3. Also Matt Wattson did 11.4 sec on 1/4th of a mile with RS6 C8, and 11.98 with the new 2022 RS3.

[@Average_Bruh]

@@ron999 you can't use one run from carwow because even they get different times during different episodes. Because I am pretty sure it went faster than thatt in one of their video. The fact that their the performance time varies and no one knows by how much, it is impossible to specify what's quicker. In the theory, the RS6 should be faster because it has more power and torque, but it also has a few 100kgs more weight. So the power to weight ratio between the RS6 and RS3 might be closer than you think.

[@ron999]

@@Average_Bruh Ok lets talk about autotopnl, they clocked the new rs3 at 9.3 sec 100-200, and 2 years ago they did 8.7 with RS6, which is somewhat a slow time, because the norm is from 8.0-8.5 for rs6 depending on a weather conditions. Also RS6 can do 0-100 in 3.4 seconds, same as some did with the new rs3, but other people did 3.6-3.7, as i said it depends on weather conditions.. All in all, rs6 should win but with small margin on 1/4 mile. RS6 cannot lose this badly like in this video.
