The lyrics to Sly and The Family's Family Affair was going through my wind when I saw the lineup to this peculiar drag race: Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayman GT4, Audi TT RS, and Volkswagen Golf R. It is a family affair with all these brands under the Volkswagen tent and Mat brings them all together.

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.

I remember seeing a Coupe quattro for the first time way back when (I'm old) and being mesmerized by it. Today, I get the same feeling because that design is so timeless and beautiful...and few and far between. I used to see one run around town the last several years but it has disappeared. Did the owner move? Was the Coupe wrecked? Did they sell it? Who knows but it's a sorely missed sigh...
