Check this out, RS6 fans - we’ve brought in every generation of the RS6 and they're going head-to-head in an almighty drag race! From the 450hp C5 through to the current 600hp C8, we’re here to find out just how these four generations of RS6 perform over the quarter-mile.
As you’d expect, Mat’s in his long term RS6, the C8. With a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, it can produce 600hp & 800Nm of torque. Alongside him, we’ve got Yianni in the C7. It may be powered by the same size engine as the C8, however, it can produce slightly more power (605hp), although it’s also slightly down on torque (750Nm).
The C6 may be several years older, but when you consider it’s powered by a 5-litre twin-turbo V10, it’s surely got to be in with a shout, right? Or perhaps the C5, with its 4.2-litre twin-turbo V8, could spring a surprise?
All we know is, there’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

It is true
Hi
The C7 will always be my favourite version of the RS 6. I mean 605 HP from that 4.0L V8 is nuts, and for being 7 years old now, this thing is very impressive in performance.
and 2017 and up c7's are so nice if you buy the mtm for example I mean 720hp or so is massive
U must be in early 20s
@@kuroseiki6930 The C7 was just the perfect RS 6 I think. The engine, the looks, the brutality, everything. Still looks fresh today. I think it's more brutal in performance compared to the C8, even with the non-performance. Although the C6 with its looks and that amazing 5.0L Lamborghini derived V10 is still really nice to me as well.
@@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan the rs6 c7 was for much ppl the fav rs6. But the audi rs6 c7 crash ends the dream😢😭

Don't listen to these rich people on the internet. They don't live in the real world.
You don’t have to be rich to afford a brand new car, just helps to have a decent job and an ability to save money. The tech is standard for most cars these days. Don’t listen to poor ppl on the internet ( too much time in comment sections might explain the lack of viable income ), they too, don’t live in the “real” world.
@@aviana009 this is true but let's be real here. A very small percentage of the population is able to afford a 50k plus plus. That's not being poor thats being average. New cars are too many gadgets now days anyway so for me personally I wouldn't buy a brand new car if I could afford the monthlies.
Ohh yes, been waiting for this.... 🏁 Good to see the RS 6 took the top spot 🏆

I just love how the c6 looks, it’s the tamest looking car there and it has a Lamborghini developed v10 with twin turbos, absolute madness
It doesn't look ostentatious. But in a good way
Also it was really pulling in the rolling race. I mean its over 10 years old but in the real world you wont really notice that much of a difference compared to the C8. Insane.
Yep and with a simple Stage 1 tune (700hp) it will obliterate both the C7 and C8 in a rolling race - especially @ top end managing to hit 200++ mph. Launching it from 0 I'm hiting like 3.6 sec to 60 with the tune, so it could keep up nicely if launched properly as well; eventhough I'd expect the newer C8 to win that one.
This engine has nothing to do with lamborghini v10

Okay, just before I watch this, I gotta say. It's about damn time 😜 Edit: I was choosing between the C7.5 and the C8 when I bought mine. And I went for the C7.5 and never looked back. One of the greatest cars Audi has ever made. Cheers!
I agree with you. And most people would agree with you too I guess, as it is clearly the most common generation.

The rs6 c7 is really a masterclass and one of the best car of all time, the C8 is to aggressiv for a car that can be a familly car, it is to much like "Hey do you see me I have a 180k audi rs6, watch me kiddo"
For me in North America, it's either C5 sedan or C8 Avant, unless I import. But I understand why people love the C7.5 so much.
Hi Mat, I follow you from Australia and love your shows. You guys are so much fun to watch. Incredible cars and incredible drivers. Love it when you beat Yanni on the drag race and love to see the expression on his face when he looses 🤣👍 Take care love from down under 🙏

My C5 was mapped at 525 and 830nm and did 190+. From 50 it hit 130mph in a matter of seconds and kept going. An absolute animal. They should compare mapped C5s, mapped C6s, to the silly money C7,8.
True
@@stuartpringle913 no this is about generations drag race of RS6, the differences between old and new, it’s not about performance
@@usercs_2682 😂😂 Why are you pointing out the obvious? My comment was to see the difference when the 2 oldest RS6s were mapped against standard C7/8. Very simple to understand really wasn’t it. Seeing as they’re half the prices of the others…
The C7 looks just as good as the new one, and almost as fast. Plus, gotta be miles more dependable than the models before the VW/Audi engineering cleanup.
20 years between them and it wasnt exactly a murdering of the C5 I was expecting. Still an amazing car for the time amd still love mine.
Yep, me too. Still holds it's own even now.
“Hi I’m Matt Wotson and I have had this RS6 on loan for 6 months yet I still forget every time I drive it that it has a soft limiter”

so much classier inside and out. the new gen looks like it came out of a cartoon

You can have it reprogrammed look it up. Nanny state can go f itself.

The C8 looks so nice. About not having launch control, thought they all had? My 2013 C7 has launch control. No setting/menu option, but traction off, sportmode, straight wheel, and brake fully engaged while holding full throttle. Release brake. I didnt think mine had it for years, until I saw a comment about it while googling.
living in the city I love soft limiters. All the bmw's driving up and down the city the whole day reving in the residential areas brought me to that. If you wanna hear it, go on the speedway, drive a tunnel and lower your windows. There, everybodys happy!
The C6 V10 keeping up with the C7 and C8 in the first rolling race had me drooling 😍😍😍
c6 is the best looking audi i got a a3 mk2 it look way better then the 8v
@@MrCrazy-R Definitely the best looking. I got a C6 facelift 3.0T. It's aged beautifully
Own a RS6 C6. If the C7 would be the regular non-performance 560hp version; the C6 would have beaten it in the rolling race. Unfair comparison if you ask me. Give the C6 a simple Stage 1 tune and it would have slaughtered it.

Bring a multi tuner and tinker with the C5. I have an A6 S-Line C5 2.7t. All torn down for timing belt and complete oil gaskets and coolant hoses etc. Stopping all leaks, deleting secondary water pump. Fixing noisy air pump hoses. Giving it some love. Already have an adjustable boost controller. Looking at replacing the KO4s soon wanting hybrids. Suggestions very welcome!

It's slightly better than I imagined, that's what she said ~ Matt 2021
The beauty of the C6 is how tunable it is. I'd have loved to have mine there. It's running 730BHP/1000nm
I too enjoy making up stories in comment sections. We should race sometime, I have a 10,000bhp 50,000nm C9 RS6. Shit's pretty crazy 👍

Not sure why people chat so much fart. ‘Covid of the brain’ is getting worse... My mate had one (C6) at 750 and 1100 nm. Same car as yours. He had the map de - tuned (NM) a little. Also MRC. The scottish dude has one at 1070bhp.
@@stuartpringle913 Nice, they are such ridiculous machines. I love them. If I ever have to drop the engine for "the" oil leak, I would consider new turbos but at that point you start running into bottlenecks. Apparently the box is good for around 1,250nm before you start to break internals but if you can keep the torque higher in the range, that's a lot more HP.
@@cammmy yes the 50p seal 😱🙈... also arch lines perish. The gearboxes are strong in the C6 but about 6k rebuild if they do break.
Wow the c6 with that epic v10 is super cool 😎
Something is wrong with the C6 because the DRIVER says does not rev more then 4.000 rpm .... the C6 can Rev UP to Limiter while standing has no soft limiter.
It has a bad rep for the understeer it has tho as you can also see in the video with the donuts
Yep. Don't make them like that anymore. Now they focus on 3 cylinder turbo technology!!
Best thing is, simple software map opens it right up to absolutely smash the others. They all need lots of work to get to that level. On a c6, secondary cat delete and map gets 740hp and 1100nm torque. V10 TT for the win

As an Audi fan, mainly of the older cars (*whispers* with far more character), this is what I subscribe for!
That Lamborghini Gallardo 5.0L twin-turbo V10 is such a gem, where it was where the VW group were just doing crazy things with engines and putting them in cars that weren't necessary. I mean the Q7 with the 6.0L V12 diesel, the Touareg with the 5.0L V10 diesel, this with the 5.0L V10, I mean just crazy.
