Audi: _Launch control fail._ Rory: _Excuse mode engaged._ 😂

Alex saying " Spanked " with such venom. That's the moment 😍

For the quickness, the e-tron is the way to go but damn does that RS6 look sexy!

I own a 22 RS e-Tron GT. The quickness and looks of the e-Tron is amazing, but I miss that V8 Engine noise.

Rory's first trip to Gapplebee's didn't go so well. 😅

2:05 race 1 3:52 race 2 5:26 rolling race 6:37 braking 😂

Both great cars but I'd still pick the RS6.

Rory and Alex would make such good presenters on Top Gear. Anyone at the BBC listening?

Great commentary and story telling with every video. From America with respect!

I like the RS6 i feel electric cars are fast but combustion is always much more exciting

My dear Lord - I want an RS6 Performance in Florett Silver, Red Calipers, Gloss Black Wheels so bad!!! This was an excellent video! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Great Video, fantastic presenters and cars. I would still pick the RS6 as it is more visceral.

Always makes me chuckle when we all say ‘ I was miles ahead ‘ when in reality it’s normally only a couple or few seconds in it 😂

It would be interesting to see how they compare on a circuit. I suspect the RS6 would fare better especially if multiple laps are involved.

Timings for the drag race?

Love the content 👌🏾

Just love you two teaming up - Awesome !

06:18 "maybe you'll be really good at stopping..." is a classy dig 😂

Currently, the best two presenters.

Nice job! Thank you, sir and ma'am.

"Hes gone" 😅😂🤣

What do the paddle shifters on the eTron's steering wheel do? Does the car have gears, most electric cars have 1, so what do they do if not switch gears?

R: What was it like seeing me getting really really small in your rear view mirror A: Very satisfying 🤔😂

"I'm being gapped, sensationally. This is outrageous! -Rory Reid

Rory & Alex...Brilliant! You two together are superb! What a video! Thank You to you both. The thing that strikes me is why do people buy Porsche Taycans, Tesla whatevers...they all look the same.... when [save money, better design and looks and quality] and buy an Audi e-Tron GT? Oh and where is the other Alex? Fantastic!

What were the times? Rory needs to give Matt Watson a bell and get some tips on lsunching the RS6 his launches were vicious everytime.

That first race, if you look at it this way, at least when you get home the foods gonna be cooking, it’s better than getting home first and waiting.

This is the best episode by far. Finally Rory being humbled was fun to watch 😂😂

Juste got an e tron gt & I ❤ it. Fast & clean. No more scary service station stops!😊

Why didn't she use the regen braking paddle on the steering wheel? Left paddle while hard brake.

Still love the rs6 but that electrical power is instant torque

After the drag race, which vehicle can drive further?

I would love to see an RS6 vs Taycan Gran Turismo both are insane wagons

Wow is the RS E-Tron that fast? I’m shocked 😮

The e-tron GT is such a sexy car

Why does she keep calling him "boy"? 🙄

I'd still choose the RS6 over the e-Tron anytime, because nothing replaces the sound from an angry V8TT engine.

Why not use the rs7 Performance as they are more similar and better matched?

“On a bench.” 🤣

Drag races don't matter. Race those two around a circuit, that'd be more interesting imo.

Yup! I'm keeping both, Rory and Alex.

These two are so great! The presenters I mean

Very good banter.

excellent and I daresay entertaining demonstration of the 2 power trains, good show mate.

That was entertaining, and eye opening. However a simple tune on the Rs6 might be a different result.

The most beautiful Audis👌 They are killing Merc and BMW in the styling department 🙌💯

She loves the word boy huh?

RS e-Tron GT 👍

Rory, the quickest at going slow. 😂

The question is how do you modify electric vehicles to make them faster or more efficient? Where is the future of car mods going?

Love Germans Cars ❤

Very simple: The RS6 has a gearbox. A gearbox is a torque multiplication device. The torque to the wheels is not the engine torque figure that you quote, but more probably like 2000 ft lb at the wheels in first gear. So then the RS6 pulls away from a stop. But then, with each gear shifted up, the multiplication is reduced (probably 500 ft lb at the wheels in second, 450 in third, etc. example numbers, not calculated numbers) and probably by 5th, the gearing is direct drive with no more multiplication of torque at all. So then the RS6 torque advantage fades away quickly and the Etron catches up. The Etron doesn't have a gearbox. So it doesn't have gearbox losses. So then the horsepower figure quoted for the Etron, counts as wheel horsepower for the RS6. So the RS6 is down around 100 HP, when compared to the Etron. Weight wise, the 100 lb that the Etron is heavyer doesn't dynamically make much of a difference, once the car is up to speed. So then the Etron pulls away. To have a fair and interesting drag race between an EV and a internal combustion vehicle, you have to have two where the HP figure is the same number: WHEEL HP in case of the internal combustion, as compared to motor shaft HP in case of the EV. Should that situation happen, I predict that the IC engined vehicle, if AWD, will pull away, until the higher gears. Then the EV will catch up more, with every gear shift in the IC engined car, where it takes fraction of a second for the IC engine to get back up in the high RPM and top torque band, for every new shift into a higher gear. However the modern shifting programs in automated gearboxes designed to have many gears are such that during a shift the RPM drop very little below the max torque RPM, so the torque loss at full throttle during shifts is minimal. Conversely, lighter gearboxes with small number of gears have reduced inertia, but lose out on engine torque during shifts. As speed increases, the weight advantage of IC car decreases, so at the top end the EV catches up. As a second and third attempts are made, the IC heat soaks and produces less HP, and starts to be slower and lose subsequent drag races. A Dodge Demon will be faster than any Tesla at a drag race track, but: the track has to be prepped. At the drag race track, muscle cars win not only through their on-board numbers, but also through the quality of the track prep. And muscle cars don't win repeatedly with the same times every time, because there are too many factors involved in obtaining a quarter mile record. That used to be the beauty of drag racing and the talent of the pilot. A Tesla will put with robotic consistence the same quarter mile number. Any one of dozens of factors can cause a Dodge Demon to not achieve it's factory record quarter mile number, or to get close to that. Then the tesla consistency wins the day. The one or two times when the Demon wins are discounted as freak situations. At the track, an IC engine vehicle that has the same WHP as the EV has motor shaft HP, will win every time. However, in the case of the Tesla Plaid, there are not ... many mass produced cars which come from the factory with 1200 WHP in a IC engine car. When comparing an IC engined sportscar with suitable WHP even with something like a Model 3 Performance at the track, there are two problems: 1. Tesla doesn't quote HP figures, because they're variable. The car can come with say 450 motor shaft HP, but then a few months later, the programmers get 10 more HP, by reprogramming something. 2. You have to race this model 3 at the track with something that has in an IC car, 550-600 crank HP. Not many of those are lightweight track cars. Those that are, are not hot versions of sedans (M3/4, AMG, RS. V, etc), but expensive supercars. Those will beat the Model 3 performance at the track, but their price will be more than double. On a general level, Tesla progressed the performance of the EV's before the old, entrenched, emissions-limited automotive industry could give us through the horsepower wars a 500 HP Honda civic or a 1000 Factory HP M3. If the Tesla progress had been 5 years slower, the IC cars would have kept up and the performance-driven EV validation that Tesla achieved would have been more difficult.

Audi aerodynamic design got that e-tron 100% right. It looks fantastic and flies on the wind. A driver’s car again, at last. But really, who would ever class an estate car (“station wagon”) as a super car ……… ?! 😉😎🇳🇿✨

@2:00 to avoid the nonsense

Hey bid, if you put the etron on full regen braking, it will stop better

Humble request of Rs7 performance v Bmw m5 comp it would be fun to watch❤

I would pick the rs6 everytime. If you can afford either of these fuel cost is not much of an issue

we need more alex

RS6 has a own style.

I think the e-tron has an added advantage of better aero, as well.......

If you had the sexy RS7 it'd be hard pick on who to cheer for between it and the e-Tron.

Man, that e-tron is no joke. 😊😊

Guys you have to compare their prices too

Nice to see that the new MG4 X-power (at £36,000) actually beat the Audi E-Tron in a drag race.... Imagine how embarrassing it is for the guys in their £100,000+ cars!!

And that Enron is not a Tesla 😂🤣😂🤣

She said "Butt Spanked!!!" 😁

I kinda wanna see the difference a stage 1 tune would make

So how many miles on the etron are used up for each launch? Seems no one want to answer that one. Next car…the etron for sure. Just needs more range i.e. better batteries.

E-Tron is a beast.

Now full tank vs full battery on motorway North- refuel/recharge and go South and compare cost,miles and time done

The RS E-Tron GT is quickly becoming my favorite 4-door..

These two presenters make a great duo

RS6 ❤❤❤

Nothing's better than a woman doing cars content

Good race im impressed by the Audi it can pull strong❤

I feel like the rs etron would sell stupid volumes of they did an Avant version.

The more powerful car winning wasn't a surprise. The biggest surprise is that the RS6 cathedral is the lighter vehicle....

holy squat. dat rs6 is beautiful.

should do a rematch with remap on rs6

E-tron just pissed on the RS6 😂

Its really easy to explain why the Audi e-tron GT RS wins, because it's an e-tron, the e in e-tron is for electronic and if its an hybrid it do not care you are alredy faster, because you have the e-boost, you have more boost at start and that push anything away, but have a smaller range distance than a rs6, its logic and physic

I loved how the rs6 has a red exterior with a black interior while the rs e tron gt has a black exterior with a red interior

RS6 all day long. I love engine sound.

RS6 Performance any time...

6:52 at least with the rs6 I won’t end up in a hedge 😂 ps- I bet that etron feels really heavy

in mint condition, at auction, that RS6 will be worth its own weight in gold

Any 1/4 times?

Better races than carwow

Wait, so the best RS is a Porsche in disguise!!?? 😂🤣😂🤣

I mean. Both of them are insane. Petrol vs electricity.

2:20 Wow Really the disrespect.

Now drive to the tip of Scotland from London and see who gets there first. Also see what the ETron is like going round a corner

Amazing cars but I'm still all in for rs6

"Are you ready to get your butt spanked Rory?" 😍😍😍😍 Oh! Oh! You lucky bastard! 😍😍😍😍

Torque on electric is constantly at Maximum. The RS6 is shifting gears and not always at max torque. Simple.

Zero to one hundred kmh means very little. Do a real autobahn test and i wager the RS6P wins. I would have both though for different occasions 👍🏻

Victory for the future, yes its like the Apple Watch ultra verses the Rolex Submariner the new one doesn’t look as good but it just does everything better

The future is not electric, when you spend 1 hour charging it after 5 minutes of flooring it. My Audi has a 700 mile range, and not that far behind in terms of real life driving speeds. It's been shown how EV cars depreciate, and the battery replacement costs are astronomical. I'll bet anything that e-tron goes through battery range and tyres like nom nom nom nom yes please more please.

Nice watch, Rory
