In this thrilling face-off on carwow, the Audi RS7 performance goes head-to-head with the new Hyundai Ioniq 5N in a quarter-mile showdown. The Audi, boasting a mighty 630 horsepower from its 4L twin-turbo V8 engine, takes on the Hyundai's impressive 650 horsepower generated by two electric motors. The Audi's 8-speed automatic gearbox contrasts with the Hyundai's unique setup of intricate launch settings and high grip mode.

The Audi, despite its higher price tag and power output, falls short in this electrifying showdown. Moving on to a roll-on race at 40 mph, the Audi manages to outpace the Hyundai, showcasing the nuances of driving these two distinct machines. The Hyundai's ability to mimic gear changes of a traditional combustion engine car adds a unique twist to the driving experience, blurring the lines between electric and petrol-powered vehicles.
In a nail-biting brake test from 100 mph, the Hyundai's exceptional stopping power shines through, leaving the Audi in its tracks.
