Brian Scotto, co-founder of Hoonigan, takes us on an emotional journey and the excitement of filming in Mexico City. This video explains not only what it takes to use rallying techniques but also using new technology to do things that was impossible before. From Audi: Embark on an electrifying journey of Electrikhana 2. Dive behi...

Video of the Day: Audi RS 5 Coupé vs 834HP AWD Honda Civic Wagon

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="94224"] photo: carwow Well this is a different drag race. What we have here today is a completely stock Audi RS 5 against a not so stock AWD Honda Civic wagon. This may be the 1st time we've ever seen this matchup on Video of the Day. The Honda has a 2.4L four cylinder that's been heavily modified to the tune of 834hp and it only weighs 2,400lbs. The RS 5 has a 2.9l twin-turbo V6 with 450hp and weighs in at 3,764lbs. This should make for ...

Video of the Day: Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro vs Stage II Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="93121"] photo: carwow Today we have the Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro up against its cousin from Stuttgart, a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. While a stock 911 Carrera 4S has around 445hp and 390lb-ft torque, this one has been tuned to 600hp and 480lb-ft. The R8 Spyder has 620hp, 428lb-ft of torque but is heavier. Normally in carwow drag races, Mat Watson likes to race in the likely winner so how will the R8 fare against a Stage II Porsche 911...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="92487"] photo: carwow 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.

Video of the Day: The Sights and Sounds of the Audi Sport quattro S1

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="92335"] photo: Daytona43 via YouTube We all know the sounds of the legendary Group B and the Audi Sport quattro. That fire breathing monster with the unique sound...that's the car that really brought Audi to my attention. I grew up in the South where the predominant sound of power were V8 muscle cars. I won't blather on so turn up the volume and revel in the 1-2-4-5-3 which Audi describes the 5-cylinder as producing that distinctive rhythm ...

Video of the Day: Audi RS2 Avant vs BMW M5 Touring vs Mercedes-Benz 500E

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="91903"] video: Hagerty Jason Cammisa and Hagerty bring us this highly entertaining video of 90s German goodness. What you see in the photo above (aside from Jason cosplaying Leo in Titanic) are three wagons that bring joy to enthusiasts and RADwood attendees: an Audi RS2 Avant, an E34 BMW M5 Touring, and a S124 Mercedes-Benz E320T wagon with a dogbone manual transmission. However, the MB wagon is replaced with the mighty W124 500E...it's like ...

Video of the Day: Twin Turbo V10 Swapped Audi C4 S6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="90914"] video: Deutsche Auto Parts This is 100% because I wanted to and why not kind of build. That thought has probably ran through all our minds at one time or another but if you're like me, I can barely change the oil in my cars. Joel though is thankfully not like me. He taught himself fabrication and even painted his Avant (in Merlin Purple) in his home garage. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="90915"] In the year ...

Video of the Day: Audi R8 GT RWD vs Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance quattro vs Audi R8 V10 performance RWD

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="89392"] video: carwow By now, you may be a little suspicious that I'm only looking at one YouTube channel to get my Videos of the Day but it only looks like that. As soon as I open YouTube, I see X vs Audi and I have to check it out especially if it's Audi vs Audi. Mat and the carwow folks seem to love Audi as much as we do so without further delay (or excuses), I present you the latest and it's a doozy. Mat has lined up 3 Audi R8s this time: ...

Video of the Day: Audi S1 Hoonitron vs Audi RS e-tron GT vs Audi R8 GT with Celebrity Driver

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88911"] photo: carwow We've seen the EV vs ICE drag races before but this one is a little special. Not only does it feature Ken Block's S1 Hoonitron, it also features the outgoing Audi R8 in the RWD GT guise with Dindo Capello driving. You may be familiar with Dindo...after all he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 3 times, twice with Audi in 2004 and 2008. The RS e-tron GT is driven by Sebastian Grams, Managing Director of Audi Sport. How will Dindo ...

Video of the Day: TT Generations Drag Race

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88688"] video: carwow The beloved Audi TT turns 25 this year and if you happen to be in Ingolstadt from July 24th to September 24th, be sure to visit the Audi museum mobile to celebrate the icon. If you can't head out to Germany, you can at least watch the Audi TT drag race against itself. Before you are the 3 generations of the TT; the Mk1 represented by a 1.8T manual transmission and a 3.2 VR6 DSG, Mk2 2.5 5-cylinder manual, and the Mk3 2...

Video of the Day: Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance vs Audi RS 6 Avant performance

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88545"] video: carwow It's been awhile since we have last visited Mat Watson and carwow so let's bring them back with a bang. This time, it's Audi Sport stablemates going head to head: an Audi R8 Spyder V10 performance versus an Audi RS 6 Avant performance...the latest kid on the block. The R8's 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 has 620hp, 428lb-ft of torque, and weighs in at 3,736lbs while the RS 6's 4.0L twin turbo V8 has 630hp, 627lb-ft of to...

Video of the Day: Martin Harp builds a V10 B5 AND a V8TT B5

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88432"] video: Deutsche Auto Parts I don't know what to say about these B5s other than the fact that they are true Q-ships...when they are parked and have their hoods closed. Once you hear them though, their covers are blown. Martin Harp is the genius behind these B5 builds. The V10 B5 started life as a "regular" S4. Martin transplanted a 4.2 V8 but decided to install a VR6. After running into some difficulties with parts and other things, he fou...

Video of the Day: Ashes to Asphalt – the Tale of the 034Motorsport B9 Audi S4 Built in 24 Hours

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="84533"] words: Bill, video: 034Motorsport It's a Tuesday night and you have a drag strip rented for Thursday to test the power of your B9 S4 with the goal of running in the 9s but then you get a phone call that the car...is on fire. What do you do? Most if not all of us would throw in the towel and weep in our drinks as we raise one for the carcass of our S4 but Javad Shadzi isn't most of us. Javad is the owner/CEO of 034Motorsports and while t...

Video of the Week: Tuned Drag Race – BMW M240i vs VW Golf R vs Audi RS 3 vs AMG A45

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="83420"] words: Bill, photo: carwow 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. [embed]https://youtu.be/erQScFlNTi8[/embed]

Video of the Day: Tesla Model 3 Performance vs Kia EV6 GT vs BMW iX M60 vs Audi RS e-tron GT vs Tesla Model X Performance

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="83082"] words: Bill, photo: carwow Today, we are witnessing the quietest drag race I've ever seen. Mat and crew have gathered 5 EVs: 3 heavyweights and 2 others - Tesla Model X Performance (778hp/841ft-lb, BMW iX M60 (619hp/811ft-lb, Audi RS e-tron GT (646hp/451ft-lb), Kia EV6 GT (585hp/546ft-lb), and Tesla Model 3 Performance (460hp/487ft-lb). Now we've all seen the videos of Teslas mopping the floor with its competition so how will the Audi f...

Video of the Day: AWE Tuning Track Edition vs Touring Edition: What’s the Difference?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="81993"] words: Bill, photo: AWE Tuning We've all been there when starting to think about modifying the exhaust system on our cars: do I want something loud or do I want something a little more muted but still retain the performance? Either way, you can't go wrong with the systems from AWE Tuning. I'll let AWE describe them: Welcome to the mothership of performance exhausts. Designed, engineered, and handmade in-house by a team of special...

Video of the Day: BMW M240i xDrive vs Ford Mustang California Special vs Volkwsagen Golf 8 R vs Audi RS 3 Drag Race

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="81965"] words: Bill, photo: Car Magazine There are so many titles we can think of for this video: V8 vs everyone, America vs Germany, Crowd Seeking Cruise Missile vs...well, you get it. I think the real title should be traction vs horsepower. Watch as this lone American (RWD) takes on the BMW M240i xDrive, VW Golf R, and our hero, the Audi RS 3 (all AWD). Who will win? Watch below.

Video of the Day: Audi RS 3 vs Audi RS 3 vs Audi RS 3

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80828"] words: Bill, photo: carwow No, my fingers didn't stutter while typing out the title. Mat Watson from carwow loves pitting Audi against other OEMs but this time, he brought all three generations of the RS 3. He couldn't get his hands on a MK III hatchback so the sedan version would have to do. So how do they stack up against one another? They all have the 2.5L 5-cylinder but the MK I has 340 hp/354 lb-ft and weighs 3,472 lbs, the MK ...

Video of the Day: Santa’s ‘grand’ New Sleigh

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80740"] words: Bill, photo: Audi AG Last year, Santa got a new sleigh in the form of an Audi e-tron GT and before that, a new RS 5 Sportback when he slimmed down. This year, he must have been very good because he just unwrapped the Audi grandsphere concept. Watch as he's whisked off on his duties and he doesn't even have to use reins...or a steering wheel. It's good to be Santa. [embed]https://youtu.be/HsHhbUA13rM[/embed]

Video of the Day: Audi R8 RWD Versus Audi R8 quattro…on a Ski Slope

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="78666"] words: Bill, photo: carwow So this is different...we've had plenty of Videos of the Day with Mat Watson from carwow and our favorite cars but we've never seen anything like this. Mat takes an R8 RWD coupe and pits it against an R8 Spyder AWD on an indoor ski slope. At first, both R8s are equipped with summer tires and you can just imagine the results. However, they soon switch to winter tires and mayhem ensues. Ultimately, this rath...
