.............................................................
It's time for an almighty Audi showdown! We've brought together the most expensive Audi saloon, the S8, to take on the most expensive Audi estate, the RS6!
These two powerhouses are going head-to-head over the quarter-mile, and we think it's going to be incredibly close! Under the skin there are a number of similarities... They're both powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, they both produce 800Nm of torque, and they both come with Quattro all-wheel-drive!
However, there's one key difference... While the the S8 produces 571hp, the RS6 manages to put down 600hp!
So what do you think, surely the RS6 will edge it, right? Or could the ultra-luxurious (and slightly more expensive) saloon snatch it? There's only one way to find out... LET'S RACE!

    I also think that Audi is underrating the hp figures on the S8... no way does it weight 200 ish kg more, have less HP and be that quick. I think it prolly has 610-630 ish?

    ​@@goodcopbadcop7438 I'd say it's got at least the same horsepower numbers as the RS6. And it makes a lot of sense. You see, when it comes to the A8 line, the S8 is the top, the best you can get. There's no RS8. But to face the competition, you need the best engine you can get. And that is the 4.0 V8 pushing out 600 hp, since the 650-hp level is reserved for the Lamborghini Urus. Now, because it's an S, on paper, it can't have the same power figures as an RS, it wouldn't be right. But they still need the best/most powerful engine available, so what do you do? Something Audi has already done before, with cars like the RS2 back in the 90's...claim a lower number than real. You can even see it puts out the same torque figure as the RS6, even though it's got 29 less horsepower, _theoretically_ . And despite weighing 155 kg more, it still manages to keep up with the RS6. Now, in that regard, there's another advantage that comes to mind...aerodynamic. The S8, being an S, isn't as "thicc" as the RS6, its fenders aren't as wide, and I think the tires also have a smaller width, so that helps in piercing the air better.

    @@Roddy_Zeh I didn’t think about that, I just knew fs that the power figures were underrated. As we’ve both said, manufactuers *cough cough germans* under rated figures alot. As for the drag CE- The RS6 has a CE of 0.35 vs the S8’s 0.29. Also yep the tires are slimmer, but the highest speed matt reached was 137 MPH before braking so I somewhat doubt how much aero would make it was faster at that speed? Then again I’m no engineer I’d have to ask someone else. My personal guess would be that it makes 615 because as you see the RS6 stays with it for a bit but then pulls away regardless of the thiccness. Thanks for pointing this out... didn’t think about it!

    @@goodcopbadcop7438 No problem! And you're right, maybe it puts out more power than the RS6 to compensate for the higher weight. I'm a little biased on my opinion though, 'cause the S8 is my favorite of the entire Audi lineup. I just can't get enough of its combination of sportiness and more discreet looks; compared to the RS6, you can almost (almost XD) call the S8 a "sleeper", hah! And yet, as Tiff Needel said on his review of the Gumpert Apollo, many years ago, "it goes like you know what...off a shovel." :P

    @@superstarsfastcars There’s a very fine line between anticipation and jumping. I think to say that Mat and his colleague are supposed to anticipate the hands dropping is stating the obvious. Considering they are in a drag race and the starter is counting them down😂. I think the RS6 driver was slow to react. But I think the S8 squats as Mat lifts off the brake before the hands have begun moving down. Which indicates that Mat jumped. I may be wrong, I haven’t slowed down the footage to see!

I guess the S8 would also smoke out the new S63, cause I drove my friend's S63 and found out that it wasn't so enthusiast and the performance levels were'nt impressive for a car with that price.(So, in case you don't know, don't expect the S63 to win over an S8, it will probably not, seriously it isn't even a car for performance (even the S63), it's just for comfort and luxury.)

    In the first brake test you asked him to get level with you and he had to speed up slightly to do that. For the camera, being level looks good, but I think as long as you’re both going 70 when you hit the line, it doesn’t matter otherwise if you’re slightly staggered

    Essentially Mat went on "2" on that second attempt. Also wonder if the S8's suspension levels itself out dynamically as it's a posher car - levelling the car provides better grip. You can see A8s doing this in crash tests too - raising the sill for a side impact.
