A used S1 with some light tuning is a bit of a weapon. The engine is heavily underrated by Audi, either to prevent the model stepping on the higher S3 models or to leave room for an RS model that never emerged. The variant of the EA888 unit is in a very low power guise, but remains similar to the units used in the Golf R which are rated far higher at stock. So you can turn the wick up from 230bhp to 300bhp with very little difficulty and it's a pocket rocket since it only weighs a tad over 1300kg.
i dont think you can class a 4.0 Twin Turbo V8 with over 600bhp a 'daily driver'. Think more on the lines of a Ford Focus Estate 1.8 TDCi with 81bhp and a 0-60 of over 12 seconds
Tom Forrest I didn't class it as one, you'll notice I said "as a daily driver", implying that it would be easier to use it as a daily driver compared to an R8.
+Kris Nicholson You said the R8's engine is a detuned version of the RS6's engine? While that may be sort of halfway true for the C6 generation RS6, the current RS6's 4.0 TFSI V8 has nothing in common with the R8's 5.2 FSI V10.
The A3 is not double the price of the A1 the price it's around £10,000 more I'm sure the options fitted were just aesthetic things like carbon fibre and did not benefit the speed

Veron it makes no sense, the R8 is the fastest car from Audi, so for a good duel you should also use the fastest Bike from Ducati. So why you are saying they should use a bugatti, the video is about the battle Audi vs Ducati
I depends on the car and bike, I've been unexpectedly overtaken by a car while on a bike. Check out this mental golf: ua-cam.com/video/GVpj_lof6Us/v-deo.html
+stinger15au we should have shown the countdown becuase the RS6 didn't jump. The fact is a torque converter Auto gets off the line faster than a manual while cars with launch pause for a split second before launching when you release the brake. They give great 0-60mph times because figuring equipment only starts timing when the car starts to move. However, in a real life off the line race, they suffer slightly.
carwow I guess we will have to agree to disagree, my real life experience says otherwise, zero delay at all with my LC (and its a audi S-stronic in a RS car as well). RS6 is still a beast though, no doubt about it, the perfect all around car. Still loved the vid :)
I have a RS7 and I have to agree that off the line it is absolutely batshit crazy fast. From a stoplight 0-speed limit it is just about untouchable, including the R8. The R8 catches up quickly but just looking at the torque numbers you can see why the R8 has to play catch up.
LOL.R8 is fastest accelarating car and this video proved it.It is still called accelaration after 60mph dumbfuck.Also.the R8 is faster even to 60mph.Mat in the RS6 just jumped the start like he always does.
Luka Yonny hahaha what an idiot you are 😂 the RS6 is faster off the line against the R8 watch the video... obvs you didn’t and came straight to the comments!
@@dancinggorilla7 I've watched this video before you've even been born.Mat jumped the start that's why the RS6 was ahead for a while.Even if the RS6 is faster to 60mph(which it isn't)it doesn't mean it accelarates faster as the R8 went ahead very soon.You don't know the difference between accelaration and 0-60.Fucktard.
Matthew Bailey The R8 is faster. The rs6 jumped the gun (6:37), and the r8 driver didn’t get a perfect launch. If they swapped drivers or did it again the r8 would win. Rs6 is beastly in a straight line though.
Love the RS Audi’s... and their 5 cylinder engines. I have the Ford Focus RS, also 2.5 5 cylinder turbo.. it’s the noise they make that’s so addictive!
It's there in the form of the RS6. Same powertrain, same performance stats (apart from an ever so slightly higher top speed which wouldn't have made a difference here)
What this really shows is that apart from the looks there really isn't a reason for the r8 over an RS6 because that race was as close as makes no difference and the rs6 is a whole lot more practical.
or you twin the shit out of the V10 of the R8? :D Im a huge rs6 fan and like the V8 bitrubo but honestly, previous gen with the V10 i loved a bit more...
That RS6 just pulls from the start like a freight train. That transmission is just out of this world. The first meters it actually launches faster even than a Nissan GTR despite having the same weight as a church. And if in black... these C7s just look like they're up to no good. Like the ultimate evil villain .
RS6 for me ... BEAST! Just hope my numbers come in on the lottery one day, and when they do I’ll be off to my local Audi dealer to order mine... TOP SPEC with all the trimmings.........
You mean Volkswagen owns Ducati...and they own Audi and Lamborghini and Bugatti, Seat, Skoda..... it seems that people can't associate Volkswagen with The Top tier Brands!
Mat, you should do the same test with bmw performance cars and a bmw s1000rr. That one has launch control as a bike, to eliminate the human factor for better comparison. Also please get a proper driver next time. He did well, but unfortunately it was far from a good race. Loved the video as well as your other stuff! Keep up the good work ❤
VAG engines!! VOLKSWAGEN AUDI GROUP. As a German it hurts my eyes. Just google how many company vw and Audi together own, more then just 10!!! Get your facts right
The RS2 would have won had it been a standing start. The launch of the RS2 was faster to 30 mph than a McLaren F1 road car. Clearly Audi were protecting the beast
Had time to think about your comment.The one car in this drag race is the first RS estate.Which is on a 09 plate.So to my mind that make's the TT RS a valid car for this race.I think the TT RS would come in on a close 2nd just!!
+Warren Blanch you say that but the rs3 and TTrs share the same engine and gearbox and almost identical acceleration times, so it wouldn't have come 2nd. ...
Flagship bikes should take on flagship cars. This in itself is a test biased towards the bike. That r8 is by no means the quickest or the fastest class

Thanks mate. You, sir are a loyal subscriber.
I came when he was on carbuyer
This is like 7.5 years ago , Matt fans rejoice
10:00 Try Panigale V4R, and a better rider (or even the same rider would still win)
a panigale v4r ? fine then,try a bugatti chiron super sport...lets see how your bikes will do 300mph
@@rover5058 tf you talking about
@@rover5058 Bugatti Chiron SuperSport would still lose to a H2R on a drag strip
Veron it makes no sense, the R8 is the fastest car from Audi, so for a good duel you should also use the fastest Bike from Ducati. So why you are saying they should use a bugatti, the video is about the battle Audi vs Ducati
End of the day the rimac concept 2 or lotus evija will decimate all 😉
5.32 rip headphone users & this video is AWESOME!
6:13 breaking an egg sound
I love how he jumps the gun and calls it a good start 🤣😂🤣
Not really. RS6 just has a better launch compared to the other Audi cars.
No way a car can out accelerate a motorcycle. No way.

Kevin Almeida so true 😂😂
Of course it can. It only depends on power-to-weight ratio. Some Koenigsegg models have ratio 1:1 like sport bikes.
I depends on the car and bike, I've been unexpectedly overtaken by a car while on a bike. Check out this mental golf: ua-cam.com/video/GVpj_lof6Us/v-deo.html
Great videos as always.One little question. Where was the Audi TT RS?? :/
Yeah would have been interesting
+Sam Lotfi Think it might of been a game changer if the TT RS was in the line up.
The TTRS isn't out for a few months yet - there's not one currently on sale.
+carwow The TT RS has been out since 2009 mate.
Not the new TT RS. No point having the older model as the RS3 shown is faster. The new TT RS will be very quick looking at the figures.
RS6 has been my dream car for a while, its cool to see that its almost as fast as an R8
Where on Earth did you find an RS2?
There is one here in Australia for sale
It was from audi themselves
I've seen 3 at a car meeting, haha
Did you not watch the video ? He said it’s from Audi’s heritage line
@@mraeece "DiD yOu NoT wATcH THe ViDEo?"
It should be 1299 superlaggera :D
No Bro, with that 959 can win every supercar ,1300 its for something like a zonda or a formula 1
That biker dont have licence
After the race you could tell your heart was pounding with excitement.
Great!
Please do the same with Mercedes-AMG: AMG GTS, C63S, S63/65, A45 for example. If possible ;)
lol the RS6 jumped by a absolute MILE. The S1 was next, The RS3 & R8 were the last to leave the line by quite a decent amount too.
+stinger15au we should have shown the countdown becuase the RS6 didn't jump. The fact is a torque converter Auto gets off the line faster than a manual while cars with launch pause for a split second before launching when you release the brake. They give great 0-60mph times because figuring equipment only starts timing when the car starts to move. However, in a real life off the line race, they suffer slightly.
carwow I guess we will have to agree to disagree, my real life experience says otherwise, zero delay at all with my LC (and its a audi S-stronic in a RS car as well). RS6 is still a beast though, no doubt about it, the perfect all around car. Still loved the vid :)
I have a RS7 and I have to agree that off the line it is absolutely batshit crazy fast. From a stoplight 0-speed limit it is just about untouchable, including the R8. The R8 catches up quickly but just looking at the torque numbers you can see why the R8 has to play catch up.
With my s5 with dsg, every time I launch there is indeed a small delay.
+Victor Yao thanks Victor. Also I have the reactions of a leaping tiger! Combine that with and RS6 and everyone is going to lose.
How is the R8 the fastest accelerating car yet the RS6 beat it easily to 60mph?! Wtf 😂😂🤷🏻♂️
LOL.R8 is fastest accelarating car and this video proved it.It is still called accelaration after 60mph dumbfuck.Also.the R8 is faster even to 60mph.Mat in the RS6 just jumped the start like he always does.
Luka Yonny hahaha what an idiot you are 😂 the RS6 is faster off the line against the R8 watch the video... obvs you didn’t and came straight to the comments!
@@dancinggorilla7 I've watched this video before you've even been born.Mat jumped the start that's why the RS6 was ahead for a while.Even if the RS6 is faster to 60mph(which it isn't)it doesn't mean it accelarates faster as the R8 went ahead very soon.You don't know the difference between accelaration and 0-60.Fucktard.
@@dancinggorilla7 Are you still gonna cry?
Matthew Bailey
The R8 is faster. The rs6 jumped the gun (6:37), and the r8 driver didn’t get a perfect launch. If they swapped drivers or did it again the r8 would win. Rs6 is beastly in a straight line though.
rs7?
Same as the RS6 basically - slightly higher top speed but wouldn't have made a difference over our distance
+carwow oh okay
You kinda jumped the start in the RS6 though but all in all awesome cars!!!!!!
S8 :( TT
Love the RS Audi’s... and their 5 cylinder engines. I have the Ford Focus RS, also 2.5 5 cylinder turbo.. it’s the noise they make that’s so addictive!
Yeah V10's sounds the best. Audi's 5cyl comes close, such a nice sound
5:50 the best drag race scene ever holy ****!!!!!
Where the hell is the rs7
It's there in the form of the RS6. Same powertrain, same performance stats (apart from an ever so slightly higher top speed which wouldn't have made a difference here)
carwow both are twin turbo v8s? Oh ...I was thinking of the older rs6 that had a v10
No RS6 ever had a V10.
Erik Van Wyk the c6 2008 Audi rs6 had a Lamborghini derived 5.0l v10 you absolute spoon
Erik Van Wyk hush my child
Ducatipanigale 1299 ?
That was the weakest Ducati launch I've ever seen 🤷🏻♂️
bikes suck
We need an RS1. Even give that car 300hp and it will slay everything in its class.
Ben my friend has 400hp on s1. It is a monster
A1 quattro limited...
What this really shows is that apart from the looks there really isn't a reason for the r8 over an RS6 because that race was as close as makes no difference and the rs6 is a whole lot more practical.
or you twin the shit out of the V10 of the R8? :D Im a huge rs6 fan and like the V8 bitrubo but honestly, previous gen with the V10 i loved a bit more...
Throw 4k at that RS3 with a cheeky flash tune and it'll keep up with that R8 all day.
Amen
The acceleration of the RS6 is beautifulll
It sounds like a Messerschmitt…
If you're gonna go off the logic of "Audi owns it so it's an Audi" then technically a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is the fastest road going Audi
Vulkanen No it’s the fastest road going Volkswagen
That RS6 just pulls from the start like a freight train. That transmission is just out of this world. The first meters it actually launches faster even than a Nissan GTR despite having the same weight as a church. And if in black... these C7s just look like they're up to no good. Like the ultimate evil villain .
People dont seem to get the point of bikes.
Bikes are when you want to go fast.
Cars are when you want to go pretty fast comfortably
Bikes are a way for people to go fast without taking out a mortgage
The RS6 is actually owned by Mat Lol 😂
I would always choose the Audi RS6! This combines sportiness, comfort and space in one vehicle. In addition, this looks extremely good! I 🖤 Audi
So a top of the range car against a middle of the range bike, that seems fair...
Rhys M donnell bikes r faster then cars
AG LEGEND yeah yeah love to watch a bugatti against any bike
@@Aisakdik69 Me too!I'd love to see a Bugatti getting destroyed by a bike!
@@lukayonny5898yeah dreaming is free am i right
@@Aisakdik69 You either are a troll or don't know shit about cars.Bugatti's launch isn't the best.It can get destroyed by many bikes in a 1/4 mile.
that Rs6 is a beast
That R8 man !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:49 Omg this R8,6
My stock 2013 Yamaha Vmax still beats them all, yes that includes the Ducati....
Looking back at old carwow drag races is interesting…
HAHAHA, You had to take a real motorcyclists and give Yamaha R1M.
@Running Willow 😂😂😂 alll day bro! Busa would of annihilated everything out there 😅!
Bikes.....are......shit!!!
RS2 is the coolest...
Rs 4....
You spelt 'gayest' wrong pal!
RS2 is amazing!
I have to say the R8 is one of the finest car ever made.
i would pick that beast rs6 over r8
just before the video starts let me tell you that bike has killed lamborghini aventador lp-700. these cars no chance
some noob was riding bike.
mr darts butthurt bike lover?
link zero most be hard too be a troll
And r8 + is faster than shitty lambo
Darchan Darchan lol R8 sucks against the performante, let alone sv.
RS6 for me ... BEAST! Just hope my numbers come in on the lottery one day, and when they do I’ll be off to my local Audi dealer to order mine... TOP SPEC with all the trimmings.........
That plate looks awful on front of The Audi R8.
You mean Volkswagen owns Ducati...and they own Audi and Lamborghini and Bugatti, Seat, Skoda..... it seems that people can't associate Volkswagen with The Top tier Brands!
Porsche>ww>audi>lambo and ducati
You mean Volkswagen owns Porsche.
Exactly. VW deserves way more credit.
Mat, you should do the same test with bmw performance cars and a bmw s1000rr. That one has launch control as a bike, to eliminate the human factor for better comparison. Also please get a proper driver next time. He did well, but unfortunately it was far from a good race.
Loved the video as well as your other stuff! Keep up the good work ❤
İt is the video of the year which make me to follow the channel again
Rs6 is the winner
Thanks!
R8 by far
please do a drag race like this with diesels :)
Audi doesn't own Ducati! It is Volkswagen who owns Audi, Lamborghini and Ducati!
Lumiel Zaibatsu volkswagen owns audi wich owns ducati and lamborghini
its actually porsche that owns them all, look up how much % of vw group is owned by who
It’s called Volkswagen Audi group.
@@peterfon7018 vw owns porsche too..
VAG engines!! VOLKSWAGEN AUDI GROUP. As a German it hurts my eyes. Just google how many company vw and Audi together own, more then just 10!!! Get your facts right
The very first drag race on Carwow!
**RS6 beats R8 in 0-60 acceleration**
-to the r8 “this is the fastest accelerating audi you can buy”
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
R8 had a bad launch rs6 does o to 60 in 3.2 the r8 has 2.6 seconds and mat started way to early
シTheCødyMavrick2.0ツ acceleration is not just 0-60
A decent rider on a Duc should have MURDERED any car there... 0-100 and back in less than 10 seconds
That RS6 is a beast. I'm sure the upcoming USDM 2021 RS 6 will be even more powerful.
The rider sucks at starting and you should've used the 1299
The RS2 would have won had it been a standing start. The launch of the RS2 was faster to 30 mph than a McLaren F1 road car. Clearly Audi were protecting the beast
They were - it came with its own chaperone. Can't blame them though - it was mint. Only 1,720 miles!
Had time to think about your comment.The one car in this drag race is the first RS estate.Which is on a 09 plate.So to my mind that make's the TT RS a valid car for this race.I think the TT RS would come in on a close 2nd just!!
+Warren Blanch you say that but the rs3 and TTrs share the same engine and gearbox and almost identical acceleration times, so it wouldn't have come 2nd. ...
I remember the RS2 being so fast!....progress is rapid😎
You're not even testing the cars against the flagship bike so there is not even a point to this vid
HadSta the point being it beat the bike
Flagship bikes should take on flagship cars. This in itself is a test biased towards the bike. That r8 is by no means the quickest or the fastest class
