What makes you say this is a sponsored video? Track was wet, RS5 is AWD without the torque of the M4 as well, so it's a logical conclusion.

How do you know the nannies were off in the M4?

TERRIBLE and at the start of the race the M4 didnt even hit accelerate untill the E92 and RS5 went the M4 started really slowly on purpose. no way in hell is the M4 slower than the E92 or the RS5. I've seen an M4 beat an RS5 before, I smell a lot of bullshit and paid sponsership by audi..

How do you know the M4 driver didn't go WOT right off the start line? It came second, have you noticed?

The numbers the cars achieved in their drag race were really high. The surface was clearly wet. However, the RS5 did it "just under 13 seconds", so that means high 12's. Still a bit slower than what for example C&D measured. The M's were about two secs slower than C&D has measured IIRC (just had a quick look at their website). I can imagine the torque of the S55 engine played a big role, too. It struggled to put down all the power at the start (you can clearly see that the rear end was stepping out) while the M3 seemed to more stable, then of course due to the power the M4 overtook the yellow car.

We do not know what transmission the M3 and M4 had. Most likely DCT's, but that's just an assumption. Also, we do not know what tires the cars had and the condition of them. Even if the M's had brand new BMW-spec tires, the Audi would probably be the fastest in these conditions. Quattro does wonders.

Last but not least, different drivers with different skills...

If it was sponsored, there would be "Sponsored:" like in other AutoExpress videos.

the woman didnt even know that the E92 M3 had an official BMW paint dakar yellow. pathetic.

Agreed, and I frankly don't know why she even mentioned that.

feel free to dislike the youtube video thank you

Y U SO MAD BRO

However, I agree that the drag race was TOTALLY pointless. We all know that AWD is the shit in wet drag racing.

If i lived in colder/damper climates, RS5 would be my choice.

Still a good car and I respect the people who buy it, but it kinda sucks on track

What is your "purpase" on this forum?

Great spelling, you bring great insights into what is so great about every other m3/4 competitor....

I guess 12.8 @ 111 is almost equal to 12.0 @ 119.

not sure why so much flames in this thread

the test was mainly to show AWD advantage the RS5 had in wet conditions

dry conditions, RS5 stays home and doesn't even try.

kdphan · 08-26-2015, 01:08 PM

they should really change their name to Audi Express

I love the RS5 btw...
