Tuned Audi RS6 v Lambo Huracan Performante_ DRAG RACE

The Driveway

It’s time for a supercar vs family estate drag race!  We’ve got Sam in the Lamborghini Huracan Performante, and he’s lining up against Mat in an Audi RS6! However, this is no ordinary RS6… It’s been tuned by the team at Awesome GTI! So let’s take a closer look at the stats…   Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. Normally, this would produce 600hp and 800Nm. However, following Awesome GTI’s tune, it now produces 840hp and 1,140Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,075kg. All in, the RS6 costs £104,000, which includes £35,000 worth of upgrades.   As for the Huracan, it houses a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 that produces 640hp and 600Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and it’s significantly lighter than the RS6, weighing in at just 1,482kg. It’s more expensive, though, costing around £180,000.   So the RS6 has more power, but weighing in at over 2 tonnes, will the Huracan be able to snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

00:00Well, we're in a drag race between a tuned Audi RS6 and a Lamborghini Huracan Puffamante.

00:05Well, we're going to find out by racing them over the standing quarter mile.

00:08I'm Matt Watson, and you're watching CarWow.

00:13This Audi RS6 has a 4-litre twin-turbo V8.

00:17Normally, it produces 600 horsepower and 800 newton-metres of torque.

00:20However, this one's got two upgraded TTE turbos, an eventuri intake,

00:24new intercoolers and Miltec exhaust with sports cats.

00:27So, now it produces 840 horsepower and 1,140 newton-metres of torque.

00:33Power is sent to all four wheels for an 8-speed automatic gearbox with launch control.

00:36The car weighs in at 2,075 kilograms.

00:39This RS6 is worth £104,000, including £35,000 of upgrades.

00:44The Lamborghini Huracan Puffamante has a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10

00:48that puts out 640 horsepower and 600 newton-metres of torque.

00:52Power is sent to all four wheels for a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with launch control.

00:56The car weighs in at around 1,482 kilos.

01:00It's worth £180,000.

01:03So, Sam, predictions on this?

01:05What does that weigh?

01:05Over two tonnes.

01:07You're like 1.4 or 1.5.

01:09Yeah, look, 500 or 600 kilos is a little bit of weight.

01:13I think that would need about 9,000 horsepower to carry that much extra weight.

01:17OK, right then.

01:18My car probably doesn't sound as good as yours, but I'm going to rev it up anyway.

01:21You ready?

01:22Let's have a listen to yours.

01:40Big win to you.

01:41By the way, thank you to Awesome GTI for lending me this car,

01:44and thank you to Shawnee's Garage, this is Instagram, for lending us that car.

01:48So, are you ready?

01:49You good to go?

01:50Shall we try it?

01:51Yeah, I'll see you at the finish line, my sweet friend.

01:54By the way, level playing field, both got cold tyres.

01:57We might need a couple of goes, but let's just get into it.

01:59Let's warm my tyres up by racing.

02:01Three, two, one.

02:08Well, he bogged down really badly.

02:09Oh, for f***ing sake.

02:11What was that?

02:16I reckon he could do better than that.

02:18F***ing way this fast.

02:28He had a bad start.

02:29Boom!

02:30He had no chance there, I don't think.

02:39And if you just need a better start, really, you could be closer.

02:42I think that's purely cold tyres.

02:43It had a really good launch, and then it just cut everything with a little bit of wheel spin.

02:47I think it panicked.

02:48Formal protest, let's go again.

02:50Let's go again.

02:50Three, two, one.

02:58Oh, he's a bit ahead this time.

03:00Come on.

03:01There she is.

03:02Come on.

03:07Better.

03:09Oh, it's close.

03:19No.

03:20Oh, he's coming past now.

03:27For f***ing sake.

03:28He's got no chance.

03:34I'm not sure that he can launch any better than that.

03:37I'm not sure that he can.

03:39I'm willing to give you another go.

03:40Best, like, three out of five.

03:41But I'm not sure you're going to get a better launch than that, are you?

03:44I mean, I beat you off the line, and it was better for a little bit,

03:47and then you just powered past me by cheating with more horsepower.

03:49One more go, I'm giving you the option.

03:51Yes, always one more go.

03:53Formal protest.

03:55Three, two, one.

03:57Oh, we've got a good launch there.

04:04Good launch.

04:10Oh, it's close.

04:12Best launch yet.

04:13Oh, it's just easy pass, this is.

04:24I think that's that.

04:37He ain't doing better than that.

04:39I think both cars performed at their peak then.

04:43You know, I just told everyone something.

04:44I said that I think then both cars performed at their very, very best.

04:48Yeah, I mean, I think that might be the best launch I've ever had in a hurricane.

04:53It was perfect.

04:54There was no bugging.

04:55It was just really, really good.

04:56I think your horsepower just won that, really.

04:58Yes, horsepower wins.

05:00But don't give up just yet, because there's some more challenges to come.

05:03But first, here's the times.

05:04So then, what exactly happened?

05:06Well, the Audi won.

05:08It completed the standing quarter mile in 10.7 seconds.

05:11The Lamborghini took 10.8 seconds.

05:55So put your car into like a comfort setting.

05:58Auto, there we go.

05:59It's normal mode for the gearbox.

06:01And we're going to roll in, okay?

06:02Yeah, I'm in Strada and Auto.

06:05Brilliant.

06:09They'll also get the QR code on screen now to see what the car is and the deal.

06:13Okay, right now, let's get on with this.

06:15I'm in third gear.

06:16Oh dear, don't go up again.

06:16Don't go up again.

06:17Three, two, one.

06:23Oh, that's just buggered off.

06:24Oh no.

06:34Yes!

06:35No!

06:42No, I can't do anything about that now.

06:43I do not know what gear my car went up to.

06:59It was definitely at least third.

07:02I was in the wrong place for that and you just buggered off.

07:05Yeah, I think mine was close three to four there, but it dropped down everything it had

07:10and went.

07:11That's what you want, really.

07:12That's like the reality on the road, isn't it?

07:14You certainly need to go.

07:15Doing auto mode in this, it's just not going to do it for you.

07:18Let's do it again, but let's just roll in in first gear, okay?

07:21In all sporty things.

07:23Manual mode, false end.

07:27Three, two, one.

07:32We went to see with the meat.

07:34Oh, I've changed it as well.

07:45Oh, bad shit!

07:49No!

07:50I'm coming now, though.

08:02Your car just went sooner than mine.

08:05Are you saying I jumped?

08:06Uh, yeah.

08:08I'm inclined to agree with you.

08:11No cheating this time, Sam.

08:13You ready?

08:13Let's go.

08:15Three, two, one.

08:20That was it.

08:36Blimey.

08:38That's faster.

08:39Do you know what?

08:50My first to second wasn't perfect, but not enough to make a difference, really.

08:55That just drove away.

08:57We'll do one last run.

08:58We'll do it in second gear, okay?

08:59Okay.

09:01Three, two, one.

09:03Can I pull it back?

09:17Come on.

09:21Come on.

09:23Look at him come.

09:28Come on.

09:34I'm gaining, I'm gaining, I'm gaining, I'm gaining.

09:41Yeah, I was in a little bit of a, what's it called?

09:45Turbo lag, torque hole, whatever.

09:47Yeah, and this just shot off.

09:48That's NA, isn't it?

09:49It's good.

09:50It's good for that.

09:51It's going to be good for the next thing as well.

09:53The brake test.

09:54Let's do it.

09:54So if you'd like to see another drag race with some Audis, click on the pop-out banner.

09:58They'll scan the QR code on screen now.

09:59If not, stay here for the brake test.

10:11What?

10:11Sam, explain that to me.

10:17I don't normally win a brake test, but what happened?

10:20I think it might just be too stiff.

10:21It was bouncing up and down.

10:22I had two feet on the brake pedal.

10:24You won.

10:24Simple as that.

10:25Okay, quick question.

10:27When you're doing a brake test, do you always two-foot it?

10:30No, I was just trying that hard to beat you that my other foot thought it would get involved.

10:34Does it make a difference?

10:35I mean, on initial strike it would, but after that, no, it wouldn't.

10:39But can you strike too hard initially or never too hard?

10:43You can strike too hard if you get straight into too much intervening ABS, but not really.

10:49The initial check normally outweighs the poorness of the strike, if that makes sense.

10:54That didn't make sense.

10:55Does it make sense to you?

10:56Do you understand what he's talking about?

10:57I have no idea.

10:58Anyway, thanks to Awesome GTI for sorting us out this rather fast RS6.
