Audi RS4 v Tesla Model Y: DRAG RACE

Thanks to Jodie for joining us for this race: @KiddinaSweetShop

What's quickest in a drag race – a Tesla Performance, or an ? Well, we will discover!

So let's take a look at how these 2 compare. Beginning with the Design Y Efficiency, it's an all-electric SUV powered by two electric motors. Integrated, they offer all-wheel-drive and can put down 527hp and 660Nm of torque. Being electrical, it's weighed down by the batteries and motors, so it ideas the scales at 1,997 kg.

Then we have the . It's loading a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 under the bonnet, which produces 450hp and 600Nm of torque. Provided it's an estate it's not exactly the lightest, although it comes in under the Design Y, weighing in at 1,745 kg.

So the electric power of the Tesla suggests it will be quick off the line, but could the extra weight prove decisive? There's only one way to discover … LET'S RACE!

    Wagons are so underrated. They are jsut as fast as saloons, but offer the same practicallity of an SUV.

      Yep, the RS4 is so underrated. The RS6 is great, but for daily use it is too big and thirsty. Electric stationwagons are still very rare (MG5, new Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 308SW have been announced).

      @Brodie Jones SUVs are more aerodynamic (important for consumption) and the seat is more elevated (important for older people).

      In this case you also get more space.

      @The IPC-TWIzZT I grant that people don’t have to step down into an SUV but the space isn’t increased as a result. Everything is raised up leading to interior space being a wash but typically favouring the station wagon because they are usually longer. As for aerodynamics, the drag coefficients I have seen favour the station wagon more often than the reverse hence their usually better fuel consumption compared to SUV’s. This makes sense given SUV’s height. Height it an enemy of drag. (SUV’s are also typically heavier giving a further advantage in fuel economy to the station wagon.) . You can’t of course compare an electric SUV with a petrol SUV. Electric vehicles should have better drag coefficient V petrol engined vehicles because they don’t have to accommodate a petrol engine and can have a smaller frontal area.

    Mat, track mode will actually make it perform worse on launch & drag race. It is cooling the battery which is good for the track but not good for maximum power.

      @HanwooNotWagyu and yes, you can say that ev:s are new tech in a sense (just as internal combustion cars): it may not be the power trains themselves, although they’ve been refined, but all the other parts like tyres, suspension, lights etc. 😊

      @Mr. fix the Plaid is absolute madness and shows what electric motors and battery technology is capable of. But I don’t think it stops to well though which would worry me. Probably to do with the weight.
      I’ve only come up against a model 3 performance once. And to be fair he was at a massive disadvantage as it was a roll from about 75-80ish. We had to wait until a car got out of the way. So I did pull away, but I’d have been playing catch up from a dig.
      My mate just got a Taycan, it’s a lovely car as you would expect paying Porsche money and being German. But he got it from work as a company car, He was after an Audi E-tron GT but for some strange reason that would have cost more.

      @Dutch Schaefer nice!! You are very respectful and appreciate all sorts of cars, it’s rare to find someone like this on here. What do you drive? I would like to know what kind of car mine can keep up with or lose to or beat in a roll if I do ever race at those speeds, but I’ve never started a race at more than 40-50 mph and haven’t lost many to 100-110 after that, but after those speeds I just press the brakes personally I don’t wanna lose my license

      @Dutch Schaefer the plaid brakes are junk. I actually greatly prefer how the model 3 drives to the model s in terms of handling and braking, but that brutal power is addicting. The plaid accelerates from 70 as hard as my car accelerates from 0 which feels absurd. It’s the only car that made mine feel gutless after the test drive

      @Mr. fix I’ve actually just swapped my car to a 2016 Audi RS6. But the car I raced the Model 3 in was a 2014 Audi S6 saloon. But the car wasn’t stock. It had decat downpipes, non res milltek exhaust, intake, RS6 fuel pumps and Remap. Dyno’d at 546bhp.
      Yes, I appreciate all types of cars and the engineering behind them. I’m a petrolhead at heart which is maybe odd that I’m not more into EVs as I’m an electrical engineer.
      I don’t think you’ll have too much competition from the traffic lights in your Model 3, seriously quick off the line.

      @John Shaw It’s a conspiracy theory… Or something. It’s also a very populair thing to say, so. There you go lol. 

      Rocking does make a floating object roll. So in very advanced technical terms it would sound logical that rocking helps you win a rolling race. XD
