Audi vs Audi line-ups don’t get much better than this!
Mat’s lining up in the all-new Audi RS3, and he’s facing off against a 1985 Audi Sport Quattro S1 Group B rally car!!
So let’s compare the stats on these two 5 cylinder beasts! Starting with the RS3, it’s powered by a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo that can put down 400hp & 500Nm. It drives all four wheels and weighs in at 1,575kg. A new one today will cost you around £57,000.
Then we have the rally car. It’s up on power compared to the RS3, with its 2.1-litre 5 cylinder turbo producing 500hp & 480Nm. Naturally, it’s also lighter, tipping the scales at 1,090kg. And given its age, it’s worth a whole lot more than the RS3, with an insurance value of £1,700,000!!
However, there’s one key difference compared to the RS3 - it’s equipped with a 6-speed manual! Will that prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Ashley, you're quite correct. In the 80's I was one of those fools that wanted to touch that Quattro....while it blasted through a country lane at 90MPH😵‍💫. I'm sure the car was tweaked to 650BHP back in the day, which would have made this drag race pointless. It was an intoxicating/addictive experience at the time. Imagine if I ever sat in one, I 'd die happy😋

500hp is a mild rebuild of that engine compared to it's competition build. I'm sure I read in an old Road and Track that it put out something like 640+hp in competition form - of course at that performance level, they would likely need to rebuild it every 3 or 4 races. 500hp from a daily driver version of that little engine isn't too shabby though. I used to have the boring version of that engine in an Audi 90. Even the boring version sounded super nice, but it really didn't start to "sing" until you were going over 110 mph.

I've got an old book about the quattro in actual rallying, and if i remember correct, they clocked 2.5 seonds for 0-100 kph on asphalt and not really much more on gravel. (and they managed that with way less than 700 hp, i would also argue that Audi reduces the power on the historic cars even below 500 hp to elongate the life of the parts)

Thing is, that Quattro will still do the same speed on the rough stuff

@skillaxxx 2 жыл бұрын

In rally setup the Group B car would have had at least a 150bhp more. And it also got 0.4L displacement less... 40 years is a long time, so it's really the amazing the car is still hard to beat 40 years later ... On tarmack, in a straight line, by a dual clutch automatic... It really was alien tech for its time !

Of course it lost the braking test, they didn’t use brakes in Group B rally! They would stab the brakes once every 2hrs, and then use the brakes again after they loaded it back on the truck. That thing still has the same brake pads from 1985🤣

@@fitnessfanatic1450 Yes I’ve watched WRC for countless years and know the regulations. Have you ever owned or done any reaearch on a late Group A rally car or early WRC? The cars back then had electronically controlled differentials, all which are banned today. Modern WRC cars have 5 speed gearboxes, 50:50 torque split, mechanical lsd’s, no abs, no traction control and no electronic driver aids. WRC cars from 25 years ago were much more complex due to regulations allowing it

Short gearing probably helped. 3rd gear in one car isn't exactly the same as 3rd gear in another. Acceleration comparisons in "the same" gear are always to be taken with a grain or a truckload of salt.

The sound of the dump valve from that S1 Quatro as he changes gears, no stability controls required, put your foot on the tin and hold tight. You can imagine back in 1985, that quattro up against an Sri cavalier putting out a full 110 horses. The Audi would have been like a rocket ship.

The crazy thing is they're running very "conservative" numbers on the Sport Quattro in order to preserve the engine and gearbox. They're running low boost pressure if Im not mistake somewhere between 0.5 and 1.0 bar.

Probably 1 bar, it's a relatively low compression turbo engine from the 80s, it needs boost to make any power.
