BMW M5 vs Audi RS4

Recommended Posts

Apart from being some of the most spectacularly dangerous driving I have ever seen (personally I would ban both of these guys from driving if I was a copper, assuming I could catch up with them), this video is kinda worth watching.

 

Shows what real world performance the RS4 can dish up.. makes me even more jelous of Tom now. Quicktime required, best to do a Right Click and Save Target As....

It is mental driving, can't believe they managed it without hitting anyone!! The RS4 is a serious machine though :)

LOL.... I love the driver of the M5's valiant attempt to try and keep up by stirring the cogs to find some power!

 

On paper the RS4 is slower then the M5 so god knows what the RS had done to it to pull away like that! It was more like an RS6 speed wise.....

I agree that these guys were pushing it way too far on a busy road like that. Glad the Audi beat the beemer, oh boy do I hate beemers. :mad:

I wondered if it was RS6 rather than RS4 but that howl from the Audi when it guns it sounds more V6 than V8... not sure tbh as its kinda hard to tell from just a rear view! :(

 

Oh.. and whilst I really like the M5, I think it'd have to be RS4 / RS6 for me without a shadow of a doubt. I mean.. I wouldn't even have to think about it!! :)

That explains it then!

 

The Bimmer would have been all over a standard RS4........M5 = 400bhp, RS4 = 344bhp IIRC? RS6 = 444bhp.

Finally finished downloading it!!! Holy Sh$te that RS4 is seriously quick, it absolutely pi$$es all over that M5. Love how the M5 nearly (well nearer than the other near misses!!) hits that crane thing near the end of the chase!!

 

Madness!!!!

You would be surprised at the amount of good cars kicking about over there. Some real dogs as well. The fact that the normal cars only drive about 50mph makes the vid look even better.
