Audi RS4 vs Audi RS3 Sedan – DRAG RACE
In this video you will find an Audi RS4 vs Audi RS3 Sedan – DRAG RACE
Audi RS3 Sedan
Take one look at the RS3, from its large front air intakes to the massive tailpipes, and you know it’s ready to rock. With a 400-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder under the hood, this 10Best Cars winner has the muscle to back up its menacing appearance. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic routes torque to all four wheels; in our testing, the RS3 hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. It boasts a redline of 6900 rpm, and the rip of its distinctive exhaust note sounds amazing the whole way there.

Audi RS4 Avant
A twin-turbocharged and intercooled 2.9-liter V-6 supplies 444 horsepower; maximum torque, available from 1900 to 5000 rpm, is 443 lb-ft. That grunt is channeled to all four wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic, a transmission that works with such alacrity that many drivers might mistake it for a dual-clutch gearbox.
The V-6 was co-developed with Porsche (but under Audi’s leadership) and exhibits little turbo lag, while it emits a slightly muted, aggressive growl. That sound is artificially enhanced in Dynamic mode, but even so it’s pretty convincing. While the blown six still can’t match the previous model’s naturally aspirated V-8 thunder, we’ll gladly take the smaller engine’s performance gains and reduced weight.
Audi says the sprint from zero to 62 mph takes a mere 4.1 seconds, which is almost as quick as the company’s claim for the two-door RS5. The V-6 never seems to run out of power, and acceleration is relentless well into the triple digits
