Aston Martin v Audi’s budget Lambo: DRAG RACE

Modification your car with Carwow:

It's time for a Britain vs Germany head-to-head!

We have actually got Mat in the Audi RSQ8 Performance, and he's squaring up against Sam in the Aston Martin DBX 707! The question is, which of these 2 powerhouses will snatch the chequered flag? Let's take a better take a look at the stats …

The Audi comes packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 640hp and 850Nm, with power sent to all 4 wheels by means of an 8-speed automatic transmission. The car weighs in at 2,275 kg, and as new it costs ₤ 142,000.

When it comes to the Aston Martin DBX 707, it's also powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, however in this circumstances it puts down 707hp and 900Nm. This is sent out to all four wheels by means of a 9-speed car transmission, and it's slightly lighter than the Audi, at 2,245 kg. However, it costs more than the Audi, costing around ₤ 210,000.

So will the more powerful Aston take it? Or will the Audi declare the win? There's only one method to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

Mat's Audi offer:

Thanks to & for providing us their DBX 707!

      Well yes, Aston Martin is owned by a Consortium led by a Canadian among Geely & Mercedes hence the engine probably 😉

      ​@6god141 nah I’d say your logic makes no sense. Just because they’re both SUVs doesn’t make them equal. I mean…that’d put a Chevy Traverse or Honda Pilot in the same class as a DBX, right? Because they’re SUVs. But that’s not how it works.

      The DBX and RSQ8 are definitely not in the same class. RSQ8 starts at $138k US. DBX starts at $256k US. Not even close to the same tax bracket.

      Their performance is comparable, yes. But that’s pretty much where the comparisons end.

      would you rather watch some tesla robotaxi’s launching by themselves and racing quietly down the line?
      If you put lights to get perfect launch times, why not replace the drivers with robots.
      If you put perfectly launching robots, why not make the cars robotic to reduce weight.
      If you have perfect launches, why not make the cars electric to have perfect races?
      its a slippery slope of drowning the entertainment by removing the humane aspect of it all.

      Lights would robotize the procedure and take the life out of this. the ENTIRE FUN in this WHOLE VIDEO would never exist with lights.
      With lights🚦- after 5 drag races, whoever will have mastered the EXACT timing of the lights down to the millisecond …will ALWAYS use it to their advantage.
      A new member on board like Yianni, That Topaz GT2rs guy or any guest, wont be able to use this SAME advantage because they dont work at Carwow fulltime
      …its why in F1 theres someone LITERALLY paid SPEFICICALLY to press a button for the lights to turn green!
      its so that its always random, never the same letting the drivers skill in reaction time be put to work.

      the current setting allows us to see pure natural human reaction where sometimes its bad, sometimes its good, sometimes its downright UNBELIEVABLE!
      …the times when its bad and the car is able to make a comeback down the race – it shows a new element of the cars performance…it being THAT GOOD.
      SO GOOD that you can slack off by a second and still make it

      With lights, none of this will ever happen.
      I know we’re here to see the true perfomance of the cars themselves but come on, the cars cant driving themeselves would be boring AF!
      so lets keep it as human as possible.
