In this epic battle of speed and power, carwow's Matt Watson pits the mighty Audi RS5 against the beastly Honda Civic in a drag race for the ages. The Audi RS5, with its 2.9L twin-turbo V6 engine, roars to life with 450 horsepower and 600 newton-meters of torque. This German powerhouse, weighing in at a hefty 1.7 tons, commands attention on the road with its Quattro all-wheel drive system and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It's a true force to be reckoned with, and Destiny, the generous owner, has lent it to Matt for this adrenaline-fueled showdown.
But don't underestimate the Honda Civic, for it has undergone a radical transformation. Known as the "waggo van," this Civic has been modified to unleash an astonishing 834 horsepower and 817 newton-meters of torque. With its 2.4K series engine and a single turbo, this Japanese marvel weighs a mere 1.1 tons. Its 5-speed sequential gearbox adds an extra layer of excitement to the mix. Sam, the driver of this wild machine, is ready to take on the Audi with all his might.
As the race begins, the anticipation builds. The Audi RS5 launches off the line with precision, but the Honda Civic, with its immense grip and monstrous horsepower, starts to catch up. It's a nail-biting battle as they hurtle towards the finish line. In the end, the Audi RS5 emerges victorious, completing the standing quarter-mile in a blistering 11.8 seconds, while the Honda Civic trails behind with a respectable 12.6 seconds.
But the excitement doesn't end there. They decide to have a rolling race from 30 mph, and this time, the Honda Civic shows its true potential. With its lighter weight and incredible power, it overtakes the Audi RS5 in a jaw-dropping display of speed and agility. The Civic's third gear proves to be the trump card, propelling it past the Audi with a thunderous roar.
To put the cars to the ultimate test, they perform a brake test from 100 mph. The Honda Civic, lacking ABS, proves its mettle as it stops impressively despite its short wheelbase and stiff suspension. Sam's skillful handling of the car is commendable, and it's clear that this modified Civic is a force to be reckoned with.
In the end, the Audi RS5 takes the crown as the quicker car, but the Honda Civic, with its modifications and raw power, has left an indelible mark on this epic battle. It's a testament to the engineering prowess of both manufacturers and a thrilling showcase of speed and performance.
