What will happen when you race an Audi R8 against an Audi RS3 and an Audi RSQ8? You think it would be a walkover for the R8, right?
Well, don’t be so sure! You see, we’ve brought in a tuned RS3 & RSQ8 and we’re about to see if the extra work on their engines is enough to bring down an R8!
So let’s see how they all compare. Starting with the RS3, it’s still packing the usual 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo petrol, however, following a tune, it’s now able to produce 550hp and 730Nm of torque! As for the RSQ8, it’s equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can now put down 710hp! We’re not sure what the torque figure is, but we estimate it to be 900Nm.
So do these two cars have what it takes to bring down the R8 V10 Performance Spyder? After all, its 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 is an absolute weapon, that has no problem producing 620hp and 580Nm!
All we know is, there’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

RS3 Vs RSQ8 really shows the importance of power to weight. The RS3 drops it even though it has way less power.
@valiantdiesel1332

Aerodynamics too, at higher speeds when power is more important than weight, the RS3 still pulls ahead. That said, it would be fair for a stage 2 car to race a stage 2 car, the RSQ8 could probably squeeze another 50hp out of it to make it a little more fair

Only if you rev your engine at a standstill like a Chimpanzee. Engines sound infinitely better when you rev them out when the car is actually moving. I honestly dont see what the problem is with soft limiters. It stops retards blowing up their engines and then complaining that X car brand is unreliable. Does anybody remember how many people would simply rev the shit out of the mclaren 600lt because they wanted to see flames popping out of the exhausts? Yes, soft limiters ARE a good idea.

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

Hey Matt. Love the videos and the content but considering the many years you have done reviews, it's safe to say that every German car has a soft limiter and will continue to have one. No need to seem taken by shock lol

Just a little correction. The ECU map does not remove the soft limiter. The RS3 has a TCU remap as well, for the transmission, which is what removes that soft limiter.
