BMW M3 Touring v Audi RS6: DRAG RACE

It's time to discover the supreme efficiency estate of 2023!

We have actually got Mat in the New Touring, and he's going head-to-head versus the almighty !

So let's see how the two compare. Starting with the , it's powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 510hp and 650Nm of torque. It drives all 4 wheels, weighs in at 1,865 kg, and the cost starts from ₤ 85,000.

When it comes to the , it's loading a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that benefits 600hp and 800Nm of torque. It's equipped with Quattro four-wheel drive, tips the scales at 2,075 kg, and the cost starts from ₤ 113,000.

So what do you believe – will the 's weight benefit suffice to nab the win? Or will Quattro AWD seal it in these moist conditions? There's only one method to discover … LET'S RACE!

Thanks to for lending us his !

      I love the super beefy looks of the Audi RS6.

      I would be curious to see the same race with the same rubber on both cars, that would seal the victory!

      @BABBER ਸਿੰਘ ਲੋਹਬਾਣਾ the closest you’ll get to that is a M4 grand coupe

    Kudos to BMW. The new M3 Touring is an awesome car. The RS6 C8 just has too little power since day one.

      @Alby Only marginal from the cheaper lower class car with 100 less hp

      @Sir Sparco I should have made myself clearer: the RS6 still can compete despite being heavier and slower. A car that can’t compete would be something that is being completely embarrassed. No doubt I’m reading far too much into a few words to the person I responded to.

      @BOB Marleya software tune alone on 93octane pump gas gets the car to 819hp and 780 ft pounds of torque

    I want to see this again in the dry. They are just so close in performance. It seems to be whoever gets the most traction off the line who wins.

      @mb san If it was the same conditions for the cars. Put the same wheel size tire size, the same place and if the BMW wins i will say its better than the quattro which is not.

      What’s the point when you take the rs6 against a lower class bmw? Get a M5 and rs6 will be toasted

      @jbg _ Correct… having owned a bmw M3 xdrive and driven all the RS models (except for the rs7), definitely can confirm the BMW is faster. Its faster than all the Audis except for the R8 and RS e tron gt.

    Considering the power to weight ratio and both 4 wheel drive, the results are expected. I am more interested can m3 beat m5?

    Nice race! I thought I would like the M3 Touring more. But the sideview just aint purty 😅 Nice front and rear though! Man, would an M5 Touring be badass!

      i’m a big bmw fan and would still get the m3 touring, but the audi does look better. i have an x3m and while i love it, the rsq’s on audi’s side look so much better and more aggressive, and less mini-van like. curious how both cars would do with just an ecu flash and nothing else. i know the m3’s hit 10’s without issue with flash tune, but i’m curious how the rs6 does?

    I still wanna see a comparison with this and an Alpina B3 estate.

    Best ever! The foggy conditions added to the whole feel of this video. Love both and long live super-wagons!

    Now I have watched a few times. Given the conditions I’m even more surprised about the from the line results. Would be worse in the dry, they have defo underplayed power figures on both cars I think. I’m an rs6 lover, but also glad the m3 touring finally exists.

    As a lover of BMW and estates, that M3 truly is a bucket list car, wow I’m seriously impressed.

    The guest had a great passion and energetic tone. It would be nice to see him in more videos. He made the video quite exciting along with Matt.

      I may be wrong but I think he’s a long running member of the carwow staff, but we usually just hear him- I remember his voice from an EV Range Test

      He put the car into “Comfort” in the race with the “most sportiest setting” and lost.

    That has got to be terrifying racing into the fog. But as an Audi fan boy…these race results do not surprise me🤨😎

    Is there anything more beautiful than seeing an estate squat so much under full acceleration? Need to see again in the dry.

    The angle of that RS6 when accelerating is mental… I’d take the M3 Touring though as that’s literally my dream car

      Yep, the RS6 is the class above though. The M5 munches it.
