+chancy319 fucking true !!!

Exactly :-)

that is so true

+Nont55 Not on the highway.. plus give that benz 4matic and run the race again

TheAmazing Channel Your dreaming. Thats a S class AMG who cares about the Audi

+Toyota4Life It better you drive your Toyota.. believe me :)

+Toyota4Life Many people prefer merc than this vw in Mercedes's price☺

Toyota4Life les give the Audi a Audi s8 pkus

i agree with you 100%

True. Stupid Mercedes fanboys won't know it.

Thank you for this truthful statement

People who buy this won't go to a drag stripe

Audi's are designed for drag race's with the quattro, mercs and bmw's arn't dont know why you would take so much pleasure from winning something that should have been expected

I heard it said on more than one occasion that the power/torque figures are underestimated

MotorTrend Found the S8 to have nearly 600 hp.. And Audi quotes 520hp.

yep. don't think it's very common outside of the states though.

4 matic doesn't make it faster adds to much weight

Yes but not in England , tbh idk what country this race is in so just subscribe to my channel.

Mrdean89 no but it makes it more fast off the line and would either smoke the Audi or be toe to toe

yes but it doesnt work

Are you drunk ? 😂

He's right you dumbass bmw has nothinh that can beat a rs7

TheEkam24 as a proud BMW 640i XDrive and Audi A8L 4.0 Quattro owner let me tell you: you're damn right. Audi's these days are super capable. But don't say never, the days when BMWs would beat Audis are not long gone. It's a very recent phenomenon, that this legendary 4 Litre engine all of a sudden became the king of the hill. Still, I love BMW for their menace looks.

You're 100% wrong about that.

mishal alsubeai‏ قبل ثانية واحدة Dude, try the S8 on an s63 4matic (4 wheel drive). The mercedes will only leave dust on the s8.

yeah but the old one from 2016 makes 605

same size, same weight, but in Europe we have the S63 4 MATIC, and it's kicking the Audi's ass, same deal with the E63 S vs RS6

No... The Audi S8 is NOT "way " lighter or "sportier" then the Benz... All this video is, is an example of the difference of engineering between the 2 companies... The Benz has a lot more HP and yet couldn't even catch the Audi at the end of the track, yet costs around 30-50 thousand more dollars... Why? There is also a video on KZfaq produced by Motor-trend, where they put an Audi S8 against an BMW Alpina B7 and you will not believe the outcome... search and watch the aforementioned video and you will know what I mean when I said "the difference in engineering" between Audi and Mercs, and BMW... Don't get me wrong, I love BMWs and Mercs, especially the Ms and AMGs, but facts are facts and stats are stats... No arguing there...

Kevin Daskal yes i agree with u Mr kevin . a 5.5litre vs a 4.0Litre this show how good Audi in engineering.

Martin Gård In what way was the Benz faster in the end? 12kph extra? At that rate by the time it would catch the S8, it would take well over a mile by which point most people start braking in the real world. And what does 30-50K extra buy you? Luxury? Have you even sat in an A8/S8 for that matter? You can look up photos and videos online if you're curious and really want to know... otherwise you're just a Merc fan boy who is biased towards his favorite brand and nothing else...

You must be pretty dumb to not realize that the s8 is the luxury full size sedan for Audi. They both weigh just about the same. Get your head out if you're ass just because the Audi won fan boy.

Thank you!

Actually Audi S8 has a 0-60 mph of 3.5 seconds.

Tristan Rios That is correct.

3.5 for audi in real life not numbers from audi , and for mercedes real life number also changes because both number above are manufacture numbers

Then we will bring the S8 plus

Michael Wotherspoon The best german cars by far are owned by VW group. Merc and beemer cant even come close not even by a mile. The best german car is a veyron which has a enhanced w16 engine based upon a w12 bentley, which came from a w12 audi a8, which was based on a vw w12 phaeton, which was based on the w8 passat, which was derived from the norrow block v6 from the vr6 and golf. that is engineering evolution. VW/audi specialize in engineering design and technical evolution. All those flogs at merc do is build large displacement motors and not very well at that. Real rocket science there. No brain power needed to build a 6.2L quad cam. Audi can do with 4L what others need 1-2L more in displacement to achieve. Thats engineering mastery. 6L+ in merc in a v8? LOL, audi have 12cyl by the time they reach that displacement.whether in current v12 diesel or last gen w12 petrol. 5.5-6.2L with current technology and engineering merc really fails to deliver peak power based on that displacement. Audi achieves far greater with far less. 95.5kw/L versus amgs 78.2kw/L, nearly a staggering 20kw/L behind. Utterly archaic, dismal engineering!!! By comparison if audi were to increase displacement to 5.5L they would achieve power in the vicinity of 525kw versus amgs paultry 430kw, again a staggering 100kw behind!!!!! You need to remember audi do not produce a RS8, only a S8. as such it is priced at $279K to amgs laughable $350k. An absolute steal considering it is a comparable if not superior vehicle. You'd have to be a deadshit to buy a s63!

+V8Ziggy And that's why the A45 AMG has 380 horses from a 2-Litre engine whilst the RS3 "only" has 367 from a 2.5 Litre? Your statement is utter useless sorry.

No, comment remains extant to the issue of large displacement v8s v high rev small displacement. I'm not discussing rice burners.

micah Keiyzer souzaUK However, the Audi does spread its maximum torque across a wider rev range - 1700-5500rpm where the Benz’s 900Nm is delivered from 2250-3750rpm.(PATHETIC!) Interestingly, the Audi S8 and Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG were evenly matched in our 80-120km/h test - where the number of wheels being powered is less of an issue.

They never will, because kilowatts is the scientificly better version. We are just too lazy to switch. It's the same story with americans and imperical units. Metric is the better system but americans are too lazy to change

Who measures power by horses anymore?

Thanks for the feedback!

Meanwhile the 4 matic S63 will come flying pass them both.

Quentin Freeman Exactly

i own the audi too but i didnt experience this on the audi

Audi is 5.2 and Benz is 6.3 and 330 kmh and Audi 320 kmh Audi is Audi Benz is benz

+sham shan This depends, the UK Version is RWD only, rest of Europe can get on their S version :)

my dad has a 2014 s class thats rear wheel...the 4 matic came out as standard 6 months later..

yes

late reply but yes it is. They say Kilowatts here and its so annoying after watching every other car review have their units in horsepower!!

its more acurate. but in germany or europe in general they use hp too. i like hp more cause its more common

no

not the plastic made

win

Mercedes-Benz the best or nothing

***** either way its a win win because VW owns audi

hen zo: merc best or nothing : answer: nothing

RWD offers better balance of the car, reduces the understeer.

RWD is more fun! Doughnuts, snow drifts, BURNOUTS. And all AWD has is numbers. Blah, boring

NZsarge1 No it cant. No difference for both from 80 start to 120kph. amg torque range is incedibly small. audis torque range is huge, why a engine nearly 2L smaller is so superior.

no

But the audi has less power:)) and it just won cause they didn´t take the 4wd s63 or s65 ;)

Sorry bud. 0-60 in the newest s8 is 4.2 sexonds. s63 4matic is 4.0 secs :)

Mookinho The Audi's fast, but falls short of the S63 in virtually all other categories - which explains the need to cut the price back by $30k.

u have no idea of cars bro, mookinho every page in the internet says 4.2... But i wouldn´t realy care for that little difference, at higher speeds the merc gets the audi anyway... And it´s not only about the speed, we´re talking about luxury cars and the s class just is the best of the fast luxury cars.

Kr0nicridah In what other categories does the S63 beat the S8? Price? No. Fuel Mileage? No. Acceleration? No. Luxury? I don't think so... The Audi A8/S8 Interior is gorgeous to say the least, and in many comparison tests, it either beats or ties the Merc. Now I'm well aware that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but posting ridiculous comments without any facts or sources to back them up just proves that you're biased... And for the record, I love both cars in this video, yet for the money, I believe Audi is the better option. Especially considering that in many countries, the S class Mercedes seems to be primary choice for Gypsies and people with more cash then brains... Not saying that the Merc is a horrible car, cause it's not, but certain people sometimes tend to give certain cars a bad reputation...

Still s8 will win

Exaclty

Minecrafter Op But the S8 isn't near luxury as a S class, and AWD VS RWD, its like One leg vs Two legs!

+Paul Stefan not lighter...

+Paul Stefan Its not lighter

Audi - sosaiten!

That model is not offered in Australia.

S63 with 4MATIC still would be slower than S8.

No way. S63 have more HP and torque

taboot77 Lots of power = higher MPH speeds and look who had the higher speed, the more powerful car. grip + power + gears = faster times.

Bob Hope More torque means faster acceleration

Quentin Freeman A lot of torque with no grip means slower acceleration, but after it gains grip it will accelerate very quickly thus producing slower times with higher speeds.

No it really wouldn't... And whats even more funny is watching the expression of Merc fans after they look up the stats for both cars. Why don't you search youtube for a video including an Audi S8 and a BMW Alpina B7 produced by motor trend... Then look up the stats on any car review website you like: Road&Track , Car&Driver, MotorTrend , etc and then come back and post something credible...

Nah it getting annoying... S8 would be still faster. 4matic sucks and loss power.

Kevin Daskal Yes it really would...

You do kno the Benz has S63 can be had 4matic right ? You do kno the Benz has a better interior then the audi right? You do know Audi is just VW right ? You do kno Benz will last longer then Audi right ?

+Juljan Malja It cost more because it's the better car here engineered better put together yes it cost more but both are still expensive if money wasn't a problem I would go with the Benz everything I don't want to drive a big VW. Run the test again with the benz having 4matic

Juljan Malja Listen if you really think this "Audi" with VW electronics is better then a AMG benz. You keeping that buddy

+Baca Rrrust what are you talking about Benz is more classy then Audi. They are better built and has a stronger engine. Old people drive Audi too

+Juljan Malja listen Benz has way better cars then Audi. Overall Benz are better cars audis look the same dull and boring with numb steering with VW electronics no thanks

S63 is 4 matic
