It's a wagon duke out between our favorite Germans...a battle between Audi, BMW, and AMG. While the Audi may be the lowest in horsepower by 60 against its rivals, will it prevail? Will the twin-turbo V6 win against the twin-turbo straight 6 and twin-turbo V8? Watch below.

So this wouldn't normally be a fair drag race but there's nothing normal about this race. All the vehicles here have been modified; some more than others. Also, the most modified car here, the Volkswagen Golf R, is driven by...Ben Collins, formerly known as The Stig. How is that fair? The results may not be a surprise but how will the RS 3 do? Find out below.

Mat Watson once again pits our favorite manufacturer against its German rivals. Driving a BMW M240i, he drags against an Audi RS 3 and an AMG CLA 45 S. It's a battle of 6 cylinder vs 5 cylinder vs 4 cylinder and a battle against premium German luxury subcompacts. All participants seem to have disparaging remarks about the RS 3 so how well will our hero fare against its AWD rivals? Watch below.

This is a fairly even matchup in today's drag race from carwow (with the exception of one). Four (AMG, VW), five (Audi), and six cylinders (BMW, Porsche) are represented as well as AWD (Audi, AMG, VW) and RWD (BMW, Porsche). Four of them are within 20hp of each other (RS 3 400hp, A45 420hp, M2 410, GTS 400) with the lonely Volkswagen Golf R down 100hp from the AMG. How does the RS 3 stack up against its co...

ICE versus Electric
Mat Watson and Carwow are back and this time he is bringing the heat. In this corner, the AMG E63 S and the opposite (in more ways than one), our hero, the Audi RS e-tron GT. Mat always tries to be in the car that he thinks will win and boasted that no Audi RS vehicle has won against the E63 S. Does this bode well for the RS e-tron GT? Watch below and find out.

An odd pair to drag since the AMG is a turbo four cylinder and the RS 6 is a twin-turbo V8 but Mat from carwow has a reason. You see, the yellow AMG is his daily driver and he's going to replace it with the Audi RS 6 Avant...good choice, Mat. The driver in the RS 6 is his girlfriend. I don't know what her driving pedigree is but it's probably not as good as Mat's. Normally, I don't spoil the results of a test ...

You know the drill by now with carwow...drag race, rolling drag, and brake test from 70mph. The AMG has more power, more torque, and it sounds pretty darn good. The RS 7 is down in hp, torque, is slightly lighter, and sounds muted but it's also £50,000 less than the AMG. Plus I think it looks a lot better, in my humble opinion.

Ok since yesterday's Video of the Day was a little controversial, how about a good old fashion drag race? Tiff Needell in a twin-turbo V8 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S takes on a similar powered Audi RS 6 Avant. It's a little wet but both are all wheel drive while the RS 6 Avant is slightly heavier. They run two drags with one model taking a commanding win and in the second, takes a slim win.
So who won? Watch below...

When it comes to Mat Watson and getting his hands on the latest and greatest, you know it's going to be fun. In this video, he takes the wheel behind an Audi RS 6 Avant and puts it up against an AMG E63, a BMW M5 Competition, and a Porsche Panamera. If you're familiar with Mat, he puts them through a drag race, a rolling race, and a brake test.
So how did our favorite Audi do? Well...let's just say...

We're back with an entertaining video from Mat Watson of carwow and as always, he's putting up our favorite OEM against rivals in a drag race, rolling race, and a brake test. This time he has an Audi R8 V10 performance, a Porsche 911 Carrera 4s, a BMW M8 competition, an AMG GT63s, and a Tesla Model X P1000.
You can see the results in the video below but I think you'll like them...or at least a 1/3 of ...

It's been awhile since we posted a video so when this one popped up, resistance was futile. So let me start by saying...yes, I know we don't get any iteration of the RS 6 here in the States. Yes, I know this is Audi Club North America so why am I posting cars that we can't get...yet.
Carfection recently got their hands on an Audi RS 6 Performance and a Mercedes-AMG E63 S. They didn't do a 'normal' comparison that involved drag races no...
