That launch on the rs3 had me wondering if the merc was in reverse
Those C63s are very quick but it's the 4x4 and tech that gets it off to a flying start. Think about the c63 - there's even less rubber on the ground to get it off to a good start with wheel spin.
cela n'arrivera jamais.
theres more torque in reverse

Twin Turbo 4.0 v8 VS Turbo 2.5 5cylinder , Respect to the Audi engineers đ
Tottenham Hotspur the mighty pretenders Respect for audi!? Why? Its just a 4wd and nothing more.
alfredo elbombo put it against the A45 AMG as it's 4wd too.
Oh wait.. đđ
pierrre paraveman you are not really intelligent? can this be?
alfredo elbombo
The RS3 did won dragrace against a C63 . The C63 is above the RS3 but still lose. You said it's just a 4wd.
So you should put a 4wd against the rs3 if that's it. A45 is 4wd

just for you;-)
Why he screams like he is in a fighter jet???
Thanos Sterg he does it in every video, a little bit annoying to me...
Because he is in a fighter jetđ
He does my headache...shut up Archie
lol
U don't scream in a fighter jet.
Its so hard to beat the RS3... respect for audi for such a good hatch
Boyd Maarsseveen Sure đ
In the real world, off traffic lights, there's really not much out there that will beat an RS3 up to 50-60mph
Zubair Hoque completely agree. Especially the facelift savage!
RS6 would hopefully demolish it.
Tesla?
TTRs?
TT RS and R8 WOULD :p
"Doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile..." That audi has some serious beans!
Joel đ
ur a basic bro arent ya
S Holdeenio Dom to Brian after the first race.
Audi ia an amazing car i love it the most and i still have the reapect for bmw and mb
This really does show how capable an rs3 is.
Archie please stop screaming, youâll have more viewers and subscribers. Thank you.
ShAhBaZ MoHSiN always puts me off watching him
Screams like a f*cking child..
nice

I turn off the volume completely...
RS3 đ
On forums people say awd isnt fun, the rs3 understeers bla bla.
But in the real world away from the keyboard the rs3 has the perfect balance of sutble style, great noise, power and traction that for a daily driver on real roads is pretty tough to beat.
Traction is everything.
I have my own prefl rs3 running on e85 for around 520hp, its a rocket and a hell of a lot of fun
Quattro ftw!
stinger15au, Lol I love how you put it "away from the keyboard". Actually none of these warriors will be there anyway, good point
Spot on, love my stock rs3 saloon
I'm smitten with my RS3 Revo stage 1 is all I need #banzai
Ok, so what I learned is Audi engineers do amazing work. This RS3 is literally a BEAST
RS3 for me !
Audi state of mind
Sad
The Legend27 says, that Archie still screams till this day
who designed Archieâs jacket? The Michelin Man?
j rex Moncler
j rex moncler costs over 1000
Lol!
These RS3s are ridiculous... hats off to Audi... I just dont see how the new A45 is going to compete.... I really hope it does though.
Adam B A45 need 2.5 Tfsi :D
Adam B the new A45 will have over 400hp with either 5 or 6 cylinders... of course theyâll make it faster than Audi RS3.
Virakyuth Tha lol Mercedes doesn't have 5 cylinder engine and even more lol a class chassis can't fit 6 cylinders in them hahaha you know nothing about cars that's why you are Mercedes fanboy.
Adam B Well it will be AWD at least so if it has the power and aggressive launch control it might have a chance but those RS3's are pretty dam impressive.
The new A45 (Predator) is still going to be a 4pot but I think its going to have the same 48v electric system as announced on the new E53 last week. Its going to have to be special to beat the RS3... Im sure it will have more HP but the 4matic needs an uplift too (which it obviously will) cant wait to see what happens.
Drag-Race, Archieâs mouth vs. Ferrari Laferrari.
That 5 cilinder engine is iconic! So glad Audi is still making them. And so much usable power with quattro! I had once a tuned S2 and it was so much fun. Which I had never sold it!
Driving in an rs3 is so fun. My family is so lucky to have one
Every car should have that 2.5 5 cylinder it sounds amazing
Audi RS6 vs Mercedes Amg E63s Wagon
Max Smith lets hope the e63s has 4matic
RS6 Performance please, not the RS6
Archieâs enthusiasmđđđđ
On the street the C63 would not have a chance. Unitronic stage 1 Rs3 is about 505 hp 498 lbs on 2018 model. Audi 5 cyl is magic.
So, you're saying less power than the one shown. Them racing on an old dragway is the same as on the street. In the wet, no RWD car is going to have much chance against an AWD. In the dry, on some Toyo Proxes or other good street drag tire, the C63 will lose on the launch, but overtake pretty quickly. I've seen tune only C63's with more RWHP than the one in this vid. There's no magic.
Can't compare these kinds on performance!
Automotive Mike yea the rs3 is completely something different and lighter it should be compared with the a45
Again tho it will beat the a45 with no problem
@@florianberisha8773 hey from the future the a45s sh!te op the rs3 byee
okay thanks for the review i am gonna get the RS3
Alan CA rs3 isnât faster it grips better from stop lool. Have you got overtaken by a 63 yet đđđđđ your a joke bro. 63 a predator , rs3 prey over 35 mph like cat and mouse.
Statistics speak for itself what about rs6
Pipi Fun their equal rs6 litte faster but e63 4 matic or s63 will play cat and mouse with it over 200 km. Rs6 0-300 km is 62.5 sec e63 splus 4matic 0-300 45.5 sec. 18 sec gap over 200 km
@@statisticsspeakforitself4205 Doesn't look as good as the rs6 though. All mercedes looks ugly *TO* *ME*. Also they look pretty much the same using pretty much the same front headlights and brake lights. I mean if you look at the S63 and the E63. They look pretty much the same. I can't tell the difference
Birdie Die yes youre right everyones taste is different but i agree with you they now all look like floating boats too man,,, old mercs were diesigned better every model had different interior exterior now there all the same inside out n i dont like the interior wither so ye its kinda fuked i personally wont be geeting a merc in thw future although i own an older model now.
4.0litres vs 2.5litre, even the s3 would stink that amg
Rs3 bro... Not s3 đ
No, he was saying even s3 would beat it. Agreed from a standing start but not a rolling start. Have an rs3 and s3, the rs3 is a lot quicker. S3 is same spec as the golf r, golf r has slightly better handling but the s3 is slightly quicker accelerating and has a better interior.
I'd have the Audi all day.
You had a C43 bro?! Definitely not a C63!!
il1004 salty fanboy
@@hornschlucker1 No sir. Educated fanboy. Get it right. Compare 7 series, SClass, 5 Series and EClass, Audis just aren't faster than.
580hp vs 450hp
But oof wet surface and that 130 horsepower difference went down to -130 đ€Ł
Rs3 won the hearts ! What a car.
Reveal Media nahh,c63 had so much power it skidded on wet road,i mean powerslides.
Mubasshir Hasan i hope it would with a 4.0 V8.. racing it against a 2.5 5 cylinder.. i know what car iâd be buying and it wouldnât be the mercedes lmaooo
Rs3 is so good throughout
Id really love to see you take some of these cars around a road course. You have the unique capabilities to really push them and see what theyre made of
âI donât care by how much it was, but I got himâ đ
Race stock cars, this means nothing to people thinking of buying them
the fact hes racing a stock rs3 vs a tuned c63 is bull if they were both stock the audi would have it in a roll and dig
@@Mk5_Life huh from a roll?
Why old rs3đ
Yep race the 294KW facelift RS3 and it will pull the Mercs pants down.
Iâm going to be screaming like Archie going from a 2007 Honda Civic EX to a Audi RS3. Lmao! I wonât be able to contain myself. Iâm about a year or so.
4:03 drift vs drag race? Woi woiiii! GGWP, Archie!
straight 5 almost beated v8 turbo damn... impressive
AWD vs RWD and both were tuned. Weight plays a factor as well. Still very impressive
Rwd will always lose you stupid noobs
Cjkologe even in rolling start? Nah bro, dont call anyone noob
AMG///đȘđȘđȘ
THIS IS C63 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE YOU KIDING ME LOL
Lol high speed racing would never happen on public roads but red lights bring so much joy
NEXT
E63 AMG VS BMW M5
BMW M5 competition **
the price difference though....
that's nice! keep changing conditions until it's in the favor of the Merc and then "Now we are off!" and 4.0 L Bi-Turbo V8 vs an in-line 5 cylinder! Hats Off to Audi!
More drag race videos plz
BMW M5 vs Merc E63S AMG
Cavad A I saw, so disappointed đđđđđ
M5 wins actually.Don't look at carwow
Luka Poseidon nope. You are wrong. E63s is faster.
donald trump no
This is what happens if you do NOT have Quattro.
He is faking - skipping gears on purpose
It matters about the rolling race because if someone challenges you on the main road you can kick straight away so I'll go for the mercedes
Drag 2WD vs 4WD in damp conditions...what a surprise. Rolling race or hot, dryer conditions for drag and a different outcome.
Well done Awesome GTI and APR uk who tuned the RS3. Good video đđŸ
X1AOU lol
Super Smurfy 0:58 450bhp rs3 is standard is it? đ I actually know the owner of the rs3. Been in this very same car and saw his Facebook posts when it was being filmed đ...itâs all over the rs3 Facebook group, check the car and the lad out heâs a nice guy đđŸ
Where is this airfield?
The merc won 2 races! Yesss!
When racing AWD vs RWD people should do standing mile instead of quarter mile. To put less emphasis on the launch.
Can you guys please Drag Race the new BMW M5 and the latest Mercedes E63 AMG??
Thank you
Has traction issues, turns of traction control... boi....
Steven Vuong my m3 cuts the power down by over half while rolling with it on, i think same for c63
Please do some trackdays videos.
This was fooking awesome! Well done boysđ
What the....Audi?? My good Lord.
Audi power đȘ Quattro is the best Drive system in the worldđ
What about Subaru ?
@@robertcatalin2947 subaru and quattro best
Archie you got to do RS3 8V vs F80 M3 drag race!! No one has this on CZcams. Itâll be a winner!! đŹ
you can see the performance of mercedes in the upper segments and it is a privilege to ride mercedes
The fact that they are both tuned makes it a lot less interesting...
@jojoorak he said the rs3 isn't stock
lets do a renntech E63s 2018 vs an Audi rs6
ok lets take the ABT RS6E then...
I want to see the rs3 vs rs4 vs rs6 family salons/wagons which Audi is the best for the money!
best for money? i'd say an A6 55TSI
Impractical in the real world. ARCHIE. (Don't have a runway at the end of my close)
Think it's pretty stupid now that in reality. These entry level Audis, Mercs etc are able to challenge the more premium models in the ranges. You're talking about facelift A45s and RS3's pushing over 400 bhp. It's ridiculous. Where is the room for improvement further up?
if the 63 was stock it would have got banged
i
Keshav Reddy What a stupid comment. RS3 was tuned too...
Great content gents thank u Archie thank u Christian thank u BOTB all the way from Africa
Archieâs back HOORAY
Why not the C63s ???
The most important thing: The tuned C63 has despite its capacity advantage of the 4L V8 with 580 hp (!) Even when rolling start no chance to RS 3 decisively drive away !! He never wins a standing start anyway! not even if it is dry & even when pulling through it is a nose tip in advance but that's it .... All in all, no fame for Mercedes. Just imagine in front of the RS3 would be decent tuned! not as in the video -> correct software, proper exhaust system then easily 500Ps + on. There is almost no "4door commercial car" which is up to 250km / h faster than such an "visually boring" RS3 - the thing is just an everyday ground floor rocket. Just look at the times at about 3.3s at 100km / h & ~ 10.5s from 0-200km / h. These are dimensions that were not even driven by Supersport cars until a few years ago.
RS3 Stock= faster than 95%
RS3 remapped = Killer Car
Rs3 Monster đČđ„đ„đ„đđ
The c63s is only rearwheel drive, so on a wet track (like tested) the rs3 clearly has the advantage with its Quattro system.
A run on dry tarmac would lead to more comparable results, since both driving systems would work as intended by the engineers.
He clearly can't drive that Mercedes đ€·đœââïž
M140i vs rs3
NaCxDaVe rs3 pee all over it
Wait till m140i gets awd same as the m5, then they will definitely shut up
Yeah.... good race WHEN m140i is awd. RS3 will still win. I would of had the m140i if it was awd. Settled for the focus RS instead
From standstill rs3 hands down but from 30mph itâd be interesting
That 5 cylinder sound is gorgeous.
That RS3 launch is mad
You cant drive the c63 archie, you need to warm the tires up first and you need the right type of tires, you see on the second rolling start you beat him with a big gap because the tires are warm, you need the know that.
How do you propose he warm up the tires?
Lord Benjamin u can buy tire warmers lol
its just the quattro that makes the audi win
The Merc could have 1000hp it would still lose because warm tyres or not or won't get a launch like that RS
Sydneyandersonsilva maybe spell tyres correctly before you rant
So the Mercedes was completely uncompetitive from a standing start (clear case of too much power) and only just kept up from a rolling start in anything other than perfect conditions.
I got rid of my 2016 C43 Coupe due to terrible âcrabbingâ (clanging / knocking noises from from tyres on full lock that would also make the car literally skip 2-3 inches sideways on tight turns) plus awful juddery and jumping wipers (both faults well documented on the web and particularly CZcams); I changed to a 2017 Audi S5 Coupe which is MUCH better built, prettier (Merc has such an ugly bloated rear end) and has a better engine and exhaust note (AMG Performance Exhaust on my C43 sounded much harsher).
stevealexR1 - I did exactly the same. C43 Coupe on a 66 plate. Mercedes said it wasn't a fault it was a characteristic of the car LOL. Their solution was to fit all weather tyres but I told them to shove it and I traded it in for an F-Type R Coupe! It's so nice to be able to pull out of a parking space and not worry about skipping in to the car next to me.
I think the only issue you guys had was a suspension setup...if merc said it was a characteristic of the car, you could of try'd a different suspension setup & tires.
Random- when are you going to make your first song lol
This is unbelievable!! How could it be for Audi RS3 pass over Mercedes AMG??
Thatâs the older RS3
Ryan the Boston Detailer its the new 1 not the older model
mike lowrey no itâs not. Look at the front grill and dash. Trust me I own a new one. Thatâs the 367Hp model. New one is 400.
Ryan the Boston Detailer defo the old one
yeah your right older model as the new one has the virtual dash. The new one tuned would spank the merc, this one did good job
Doesnât really matter though? Theyâre both tuned anyway
Firstly : Audi awd and c63 2wd , obvious whoâs gonna get of the line quicker
Secondly ; wet and damp conditions , another disadvantage for the c63
Darrel Thompson . Welcome to the real world. If you want to test in labatory conditions the C63 would win. People dont drive in labs or perfect tracks. They drive on greasy, uneven roads. If you want bragging rights and wrapping yourself around a pole, go for the C63.
Nice video man!! Fun watching you!
6:58 that part is hilarious đ
That amg is slow asf..
The Mercedes is tuned too no excuses lol
ninetoyoskull no its Stock
Canât wait to see the new A45/CLA45 with over 400 HP to compete with RS3
Virakyuth Tha Will be close sure , but hard to win RS3 400 hmmm
They have done it with a 450hp A45 AMG v RS3. The Merc got owned
Gerald Holley from what I remember, A45 was detuned back to stock.
The new a45 will still have 4 zylinders....
In this class there is only one king: RS3
czcams.com/video/Fo9eh6M7_Xs/video.html Merc 450hp /RS3 440Hhp czcams.com/video/IxYg1IDrJUsA/video.html45 Stock RS3 StockIn every test I have seen, these are two typical ones the A45 AMG loses every time. Still a nice car but no match for the RS3.
4:20 omg that sound
Archie could you get hold of a C43 AMG to drag race, as BOTB do have C43's on their website. Would be good to see one of those race 4WD 362HP, could be close with the M2.
Billy Janes and awd
And this is why i love Audi the most, same to Mercedes and Bmw!!!
Come on its a facking Audi 3 serie vs a merc c63, the c63 sould actually be racing against a 6 serie audi
Itâs an Audi rs3
Nope racing against rs5
The C63 it's boring....
Diogo did you drive it?
I bet you havent even been in a C63
I've been waiting for the 2021 RS3 to be released
And now do the test again with the RS3 facelift stage 1 đ€Łđđ»
âTunedâ C63. Yeh right
Jordan Woods you can have a 1000hp but its useless if you spin the wheels all the time. Its why the new M cars are all going AWD.
Agreed, but from a rolling start in the dry (6.16) the supposedly tuned C63 should gap the rs3 massivley. Another fake video like the C63s vs m4
Trouble is the C63 will break traction even under rolling conditions when you boot it, so either the traction control kicks in and kills power or if the driver has it switched off, then tail kicks out and or it spins it tyres. All the while the traction of the RS3 exploits all its power and subsequently requires less power and torque to get away. Eventually the Merc will reel the RS3 in the higher speed range but in real world conditions across country the RS3 will win. Its why both Merc and BMW with the E63s and M5 have acceded to the Audi engineering philosophy that if you want to exploit all that modern engine Torque and Power AWD is the only way to go. Sideways is spectacular and fun in some conditions but how many owners haver the pockets to continually smoke and ruin 800quid a boot tyres on track days. You cannot do the sideways stuff on UK and EU highways so you will be continually trying to control breakaway or else allow the overbearing traction control in the Merc to kill your power. I know which one I'd rather be in either as a driver or passenger. If I buy something with 400hp I want to be able to exploit that grunt 100% of the time which is what the RS3 gives you.
C63 AMGs are for showmen...all noise.
Rolex Kings it's rwd on wet tarmac. Put it on dry tarmac and bye bye rebadged golf.
And at least you'll be a showman smiling while driving your c63.
Hi, I can see the appeal of the C63 AMG.....it's a great car...depends where you are in the World too and how far you're driving regularly....for me driving across Europe from the UK on long distance trips - there's no way I'd go for an AMG C63 or an RS4 - the sweatspot of the Audi range was the Audi S4 Avant when I bought mine....and I can defintely keep up with AMGs on the autobahn.
...also if you're in the UK where the weather's not's always good....then Quattro is king
Rolex Kings i agree but now that mercedes has come up with the c43 amg, the s4 has lost some of it's appeal.
For me, if you can get a 63, you should be able to get a awd car too. Otherwise, get one single car with awd.
C43's nice...but I'll be going for the new RS4 Avant now that it's a v6 :-)
dead heat on the rolling start for the 1st time
Nice one guys. Something else you can try, especially on a slippery surface, is to just floor the throttle off the line without launch control.
In this video you can see that mercedes engineering was terrible
I'm pretty sure C63 doesn't have 580 horsepower.
tommy4862 youâre underestimating what savages remapped RS3âs are. The facelift RS3âs are kicking out 480bhp at stage 1 and are lighter. The C63 here would have serious trouble with one of those!
RS3 also weight about 250kg less.
I mean maybe he said it somewhere in the middle but these videos make no sense at all honestly. It would be better to compare stock cars only.
The lad making the video makes more noise than the car, spoilt a good video.
I love the way Archie predicts
Just wait for the new A45
I just sold my A45 AMG and got a facelift RS3. The A45 just cant get anywhere near. I used to tell myself t could, but the fact is itâs a highly strung 2.0. My A45 was stage 1 and I couldnât even hang onto a prefacelift stock RS3!!! The paper figures are all misleading....
Nick Sinclair true, 5 cylinder 2.5 l engine is more active, but the main Audi power and advantage is in their Quattro system, superb no doubt.
when the new a45 comes out......the new rs3 will come aswell!lol besides,i cant be bothered to wait until 2021 for the new a45
Nick Sinclair But Seriously? Would you guys swap or get a new car just because the power? Imean a car is about much more than just the engine. Dont get me wrong: i do own the 2017 MK7 GTI Clubsport (as u can see videos on my channel) so yes i like a good Turbo. But i wodent swap it for RS3 or other, ONLY to get a monster engine. Maby you dont either, but would be nice to hear how you reason why your swapping to RS3?
What for another 4 cylinder?
