Besides being made by German manufacturers and offering some level of performance, the Audi RS6 Avant and Porsche 911 don't have a lot in common. So we never expected to see a drag race between the two.
The 911, meanwhile, is an official car for the 60-year-old plastic surgeon from Beverly Hills. We wouldn't say it's pretentious in the same way as a Lamborghini, but it certainly has an "I'm better than you" thing going on.
But let's find out if that's actually the case with a nice drag race. Take into consideration that this isn't your average 911 either, not that those are slow. No, this pleasant-looking convertible is the 911 Turbo S, featuring the best flat-six turbocharged technology around.
More specifically sports convertible from Stuttgart has a twin-turbo 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine with 572 hp (don't trust the Germans if they say 580) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm), pushed to all wheels via a PDK gearbox. As you can probably tell by the taillights, this is a slightly older model, the kind that was in production from 2015 to 2018.
In the other black corner, we have the all-new 2020 RS6 Avant with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 making 591 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) delivered to the quattro system via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Even though it's one of the most powerful Audis ever, this keeps losing drag races over and over again, most notably against a Lamborghini Urus recently.
This time, the Audi is the heavier car, by over 900 lbs. Anybody who knows a thing about Porsches expects it to win.
