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 ...

Spy Photo: Volkswagen MK8 Golf R Wagon

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="57444"] For those who don't know, the Mk7 and MK7.5 Golf R sits on the MQB platform as does the Audi S3/RS 3.

Carfection – Audi RS 6 Performance vs Mercedes-AMG E63 S

[words: Bill Cho, video and stills: Carfection] 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...
