In a battle of German engineering, carwow pitted a tuned 2017 Audi RS3 against the latest Audi RS7 performance. The RS3, with its 500 horsepower and 630 NTM of torque after an ECU tweak, faced off against the RS7 boasting 630 horsepower and a whopping 850 NTM of torque. The RS3, lighter at 1.5 tons, took on the RS7 tipping the scales at around 2.1 tons and carrying a hefty price tag of £133,000. The power-to-weight ratios were scrutinized, with the RS3 boasting 333 horsepower per ton compared to the RS7's 300 horsepower per ton.

Unleashing these beasts on the tarmac, the RS7 emerged victorious in the drag race, blitzing the quarter mile in 11.3 seconds while the RS3 trailed slightly behind at 11.5 seconds. The RS7's dominance continued in a rolling race over half a mile, showcasing its superiority in performance. However, in a brake test from 100 mph, the RS3 surprisingly outperformed the RS7 in stopping distance, highlighting the nuances of each car's capabilities beyond raw power. Despite the RS7's carbon ceramic brakes, the RS3's braking prowess stole the show, proving that speed isn't everything on the track.

The banter between the carwow team added a touch of humor to the intense competition, with playful jabs and camaraderie enhancing the viewing experience. The team's dynamic and engaging commentary kept viewers entertained throughout the showdown, offering insights into the intricacies of each vehicle's performance.
