  • The only way to separate the Audi RS7 and the new Porsche Panamera Turbo is to take them to Santa Pod Raceway for some drag racing.
    Matt has been given the arduous task of finding out which one is better and these four-wheel drive, twin-turbo V8 executive saloons are pretty similar. Both will happily run sub-12second quarter mile times all day long and both will carry four in comfort. Subscribe to PistonHeads CZcams channel here: bit.ly/2aKvdVO

    Skip to 12:08. The Panamera did the 1/4 in 11.4 and the RS7 in 11.7. My question is, who's the noob driving the Panamera in the beginning. My God!

      *****​​​​ oh ya totally understandanble, the audi is behind and is outdated interior and technology wise and is due an update but exterior wise it still looks pretty nice :p
      I agree ... I can't wait for m5. E63 is already amazing, can't wait to see what monster bmw comes up with . Will it have a v8?
      Although I think these cars compete with cls63 and m6 if I am not mistaken
      But then again the bmw and merc are so good that even the lower tier m5 and e63 can compete with the higher tier rs7 and porshe panemera

    @DennisBerkhout1 Před 7 lety +85

    The Porsche is the better car for sure, but I'd go for the RS7. Even though it might be a bit dated, it's looks are still great in my eyes and I love the noise from that Audi V8.

    • @NikoBell12
      @NikoBell12 Před 7 lety +13

      Can't believe we've reached the point where the RS7 is regarded as dated. I remember when the S7 came out and how much of a statement it made. Weird how automotive technology progresses.

    Not really a fair comparison as the A7 design has been around since 2012. But I am very excited to see what the next gen A7/S7/RS7 will look and technology it implements.

  • @mariorivas9673
    @mariorivas9673 Před 7 lety +1

    I wish he also talked about the fact that the Panamera is down 55 horsepower which is a big disadvantage for a drag race. That means the RS7 had 10% more horsepower than the Porsche.

    It would be better to use an RS7 *with* dynamic package plus to compete against the Panamera.
    But why you don't use the launch control in the RS7!? Its faster to start with over 2000 rpm instead of 800, right?

    So, you have to watch the whole video only to think the Audi won, but it turns out, the porsche actually won? Hmm, I think our narrator/host was disappointed. Thats why it took to the last 2 seconds of the video to get that. BTW, I have a 2013 970 turbo, same extremely simple to operate launch control as the 2017 turbo. They need to fire the porsche driver for not figuring it out. Porsche designed the easiest launch control out there; select sport +, de-activate traction control. Hit the break. Push the accelerator to the floor. It will hold at 5,000 RPM, the “light” will go on letting you know you can launch.

      Agreed, I love the A/S/RS7 (so much that I bought an A7 BiTDi). He's not wrong about the interior though. The Panamera looks like driving around in a Bang & Olufsen stereo. It's amazing.
      Ironically, the RS7 seems to actually have a B&O stereo.

    Good video, thanks. I'm convinced Audi is run by marketeers and accountants with a desire to make as much money as possible. On the other hand Porsche has a main objective of making great cars, the money rolls in thereafter. I know which I prefer and it's not all about absolute straight line performance! I'd take the Porsche anyday.

  • @rodge911
    @rodge911 Před 7 lety +1

    As a daily driver the RS7 is a much better car. The Porsche may be faster on the track or strip, but with a stiff ride, small back seat space and much smaller trunk it loses for practicality. I know people watch these videos just to see what's fastest but that does not make it a better car.

  • @BMH1965
    @BMH1965 Před 6 lety

    So, another fast Audi that you can't drive fast - no change there then. All they need to do is move the front wheels further forward and leave everything else as is - and the result: the Porsche Panamera! This does raise the point that the RS7 is pointless.

    The Audi RS7 is an understeering pig, a damn good looking one though. It's a nice GT car for 7/10ths driving.
    The Panamera is an actual sports sedan.

    • @derbigpr500
      @derbigpr500 Před 7 lety +4

      That's a stupid myth from the early 2000's. New Audi's are anything but understeering pigs. Especially the RS models. You clearly have zero experience with this and are talking out of your ass, just repeating what someone else equally clueless said to you.

    • @angel20503

    • @KryptoDemon
      @KryptoDemon Před 7 lety

      Furkan Turfanda RS7 doesn't really understeer, but it does have that artificial feel that he states. If you trust it, it can make obscene numbers that embarrass many super sport cars. I would never, never own an A7. Too big a car for such low power numbers. I have a RS7 and that size of a car requires these power figures otherwise buy a Lexus to float around. You notice the steering and vector rear end when you first buy it then again when you drive a proper rear drive car. I agree the Porsche is by far a better driver car, but the RS7 equals or bests the numbers on paper.

    • @chadc.5326
      @chadc.5326 Před 7 lety +1

      the rs7 does have terminal understeer, but only when you're pushing its limits. At 8/10ths or less the understeer is non-existant, it does have understeer due to 2 main issues... one being the haldex system which is and always have been a front wheel drive bias system and the other is the amount of engine in front of the front tires and its almost the entire motor. that said audi did fantastic to reduce understeer with factors like these

    Why did you have an old aged pensioner driving the Porsche at the drag strip? If you're going to compare two cars, put competent drivers in both motors. Consider a driver swap to even out any skill differences. This way you really do compare the cars, not the drivers. The granny in the Porsche was napping whilst you had the hammer down.

      Maybe the Performance has dynamic steering which I've heard is quite numb and disconcerting when driving at speed.

      A lot of people want to have the feel you get in a Ferrari, or even an M3, but the fact is Audi's have always have the effortless steering. I've gotten an RS7 up to 140 and while you might not get the feedback that you would in an M3 or 911, you steering is still on point. I prefer vehicles that if I turn the wheel even a smidge one direction the car is going that direction. That is how the RS 7 behaves. You get the same performance in the S3, S4, and S6 also. I've never driven and RS5, but I've heard it's the same also.
      Listening to him talk about that RS 7 it's like he was talking about a completely different car than what I am familiar with.

      Gordon Williams the difference is the that British mainstream reviewers still don't like Audi very much and reel out the cliche comments about the brand at any opportunity. No Brit review is compete without some reference to "feel for the road" and I swear to god, I don't think any of them have a goddam clue what they're talking about.

    New cars have no passion anymore. First it was the removable of manual box now their just throwing more power into the car and shipping them out. Emotionally dead overpowered cars. Older cars will forever be better driving.
