Quattro 4WD v EV 4WD: SNOW DRAG RACE
čas přidán 9. 12. 2022
Who’s ready for an incredible Audi drag race… On SNOW!
We’ve got Mat in the Audi RS e-tron GT, and he’s going head to head against an Audi RS3 and Audi RS6! The thing is, none of these cars are equipped with winter tyres. They’re about to face off in normal summer tyres to see which can handle wintery conditions the best!
So how do they compare? Well starting with the RS e-tron, it’s packing two electric motors which can put down 646hp and 830Nm of torque. It’s pretty heavy, though, weighing in at 2,345kg.
Then we have the RS3. It’s housing the infamous 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo under the bonnet which is good for 400hp and 500Nm. It’s a whole lot lighter than the e-tron, tipping the scales at 1,570kg.
Then finally we have the gorgeous RS6. With a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, this performance estate can produce 600hp and 800Nm. But of course, given the size, it’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,075kg.
So they’re all equipped with four-wheel drive, but which will handle the snow the best? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

What should we drag race on snow next?!
Those guys don't know how to drive, next time bring in a Subaru
Show us something we haven't seen yet.
911 AWD vs. Taycan AWD vs. Cayenne AWD vs. Macan AWD
XDRIVE VS QUATTRO VS 4MATIC
Want to see a lane change :) cars on the right side always lose :/ is there more ice on that side ?
Daniel is always the new German Carwow CS-tv presenter!
Video probably been recorded a while ago when he actually still was new
@rey yh 😂
@Purwanti Allan okay, you didn't get the joke then. Maggie Simpson has been a one-year-old since the late 80's and due to the "floating timeline", most Simpson characters don't age over time. Bart will always be 10, Lisa 8 and Daniel will always be "the *new* German CarWow presenter"
This could be a little hint to Spain channel's presenter... All related to cars, but without cars.
@nicalev copy and paste pal👍
I think you gotta tell us what tires each car has in snow/grip related drag races, that alone changes everything.
He disabled EDL! Are you seriusly wasting time on anything else? It would be like disabling ABS brakes and doing wet braking maneuverability test. HE FAKED THE WHOLE THING!
Internet User Account even if you were there is most definitely a big difference in tire brands from low budget to premium
Internet User Account are you joking? There is a massive difference between Summer, All season and winters. There is also a big difference in tire widths.
Yep this is 100% pointless when the cars are on different tires. Also the difference tire width’s drastically change results.
Internet User Account Well, what comment were you replying to? Because you make it sound like you're saying that the tire doesn't matter. If it's to the original post, then you may not understand that they are going off the fact that Mat didn't tell us, clearly, what tires were being used on each car.
Daniel is now 60 years of age: we're now going to our new German driver, Daniel 😂
@Ruben’s Lego Creations Probably because CarWow as a company existed before Matt was hired.
@Tseesium why it isnt matwow now right?
@Tseesium ShamWow
@Purwanti Allan DanWow
DanielWow?
Mat we want more insane snow drag races like this one with Daniel, Nick and Yianni!
Mat Daniel and Nick is just perfect
You just forgot Sam
@Yahya Gaming Yianni doesnt like cold.
@Krane yianni doesnt like cold.
Yianni can't survive in cold. Unless he's already in the car when it pulls into the freezer building, he would cease to exist.
Mat never fails to wow us with all these insane drag race, reviews and videos!
Love watching them always
@Rithika W well he IS definitely srilankan guy.
@Rithika W it's a bot
U Sri lankan?
We've seen Nick in the background for years, it's such a pleasure to see him with a main role now! He's witty, knows the stats, and fits right in with the vibe of the channel.
Feedback appreciated Hit me up🔝🔝 I have something for you❤️
The new edits had me rotfl, especially the "electric car sound" one 🤣 Keep up the good work guys!
I died when I seen thatttt 🤣
Didn't know the etron had a 2jz engine in it. I would consider buy it now.
Rofl
You bet the engine sounds do the talking.
Have to say the e-tron was absolutely controlled over any inclines But we do have to keep in mind that the tyres have to be the same In such steep and low grip situations, there is a HUGE diffrence between good tyres and amazing tyres
He disabled EDL! Are you seriusly wasting time on anything else? It would be like disabling ABS brakes and doing wet braking maneuverability test. HE FAKED THE WHOLE THING!
He said they're on Pirelli p zero winters
@SomeGuy I live in Finland.. Yesterday morning -18ºC., warmer today. 30-40 cm of snow in this part of the country. We have 3 categories for winter tyres: those designed for central Europe (like Alpin) , Nordic and studded.
@Markku Vuori depends on your kind of winter, my guy :) We don't have much if any icd on the road. Some snow, and like -10° at the coldest In these situations where it's mainly just wet, a friggin all season performs better
@SomeGuy Michelin Alpin is not proper winter tyre. It is ok when roads are wet, not icy .
E-tron in that dark olive green is just magic. Looks so incredibly good.
@Jaroslav ZárubaI really like them it’s actually my favorite part 😂
Almost looks better then they’re gas models which is really rare for a company to do I mean look at the EQ models and the weird shit bmw puts out
the rear lights are horrible
A very interesting drag race! Great job Mat!!!
Thank you for ☝️☝️watching and leaving a comment🎊🎉 Congratulation you have been selected among my lucky winners DM to claim your prize🎁❤🎉
Hi Matt. Really happy for your team and would love more reviews
Hope Matt reviews Kasumi Nakasu's Jaguar XJR-9 next.
This video was probably made for fun, but it is actually extremely interesting and useful... it would be amazing if you start using it as benchmark for future reviews to see how different 4WD systems work! In this case, however, you should tell us which tyres are mounted. E.g.: - Touareg v Q8 v Cayenne (sort of "VW snow showdown") - Defender v Wrangler v Jimny - Q5 v GLC v X3 - Range Rover v Bentayga v Cullinan

Having owned a 4wd with twin electric motors, electric is indeed very good at getting you moving and the weight helps. But the catch is stopping where the weight is against you. This video should have done a brake test going down the hill and applied halfway. I suspect the EV would have stopped somewhere in the Cafe.
@Simon Henry E tron doesn't engine brake much at all unless you hit the wheel paddles, it just gives a slight regen or slight acceleration by standard to coast at a fairly constant rate no matter if it's a slight decline or incline. As someone who lives in a place that gets LOTS of snow and shitty weather it feels very well thought out for winter conditions but at the end of the day a 2500kg SUV is still sketchy when you break traction particularly in a downhill on sleet.
Think people forget evs have engine breakingas soon as you touchthe break, and combined with tra tion control its Effectivly a much faster reacting Abs before abs kicks in.
Very valid point that often gets overlooked especially by two tonne 4x4 drivers that sit on people's back bumper in the snow showing off.
So you're just saying regardless of powertrain, the heaviest vehicle will always take the longest to stop?
Having instant delivery of power to whichever area needs it definitely helps as well.
Well colour me extremely impressed by the RS e-tron! Would love to see it up against something with a bit more off-road chops like a Range Rover and maybe an older Impreza as well for shits and giggles
RS E-Tron on Snow Tires seemingly slower.
Saw my first Audi RS E-tron GT yesterday and was shocked how wide and cool looking they are in person! The RS6 still takes the cake though because it has that cake.
Seriously though the rs etron gt is in my opinion the best looking ev on the market
Did they not turn traction control back on after the RS3/6 couldn’t do the 3rd challenge? Would have been interesting to see that. Great video none the less!
Yeah i was hoping for that too
Yea... Also, the etron went first. So it may have torn up that area a bit. But this isn't science... It's entertainment.
The RS3 and 6 already got themselves outperformed. Thats why.
We’re talking about ‘’Audis in their natural habitat” people! And i love it 😍 ❤️
Feedback appreciated Hit me up🔝🔝 I have something for you❤️
That RS e-tron was amazing. I think indeed the ability for slip management systems to control motor output so quickly and immediately does give it a huge advantage over mechanical systems. The older systems cannot apply/lift/apply/lift power as quickly or in as small increments.
Wow, wonderful demonstration of something I was pretty sure would have this outcome, but it's just so much better when you can see it in action. Mighty impressive for sure!
Great to see Nick involved with the different types of races. He fits in really well!

loving snow drag races keep it up
What about Snow Drag Races between Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale vs Tuscan Speed 6 TC on snow tires?
Keep these snow series up they are mad good!
Feedback appreciated Hit me up🔝🔝 I have something for you❤️🏆
Love these snow drag races!
@Purwanti Allan what
@متستر well its funny, sneakyboi10.
@متستر what...🤣
@متستر understand you I do not... but thanks for the input "yoda"...😘
Both the EVs I've owned have phenomenal traction control. It's just able to react quicker.
Would love to see how all season/weather tyres compare to full winter tyres
You know why they're called "all season"? Because they are CRAP in ALL SEASONS! Get proper winter tires, and proper summer tires.
I can tell you that all season tires are dangerous and useless garbage compared to real winter tires, studded or friction.
Yeah, this was really annoying for the people with real snow problems. 😂
Found out one thing this week. Regen braking is brill in snow. Hardly have to touch breaks
As a Taycan owner above the arctic circle I can confirm that it's insanely capable on the slippery stuff.
I cant believe Mat actually jumped the electric one !
Yep. Thought he gonna jump into Audi R18 on Snow Tires btw. 😂
i would love to see the e-tron climbing up the "hill" after the rs6 spinned, and formed a small ice layer, wich drops the grip exactly where you need it :)
Wow - love this. If I had to pick I’d go for the RS3 even though it was the worst performing. I just love that car. Especially in that jazzy green colour!
@SpookyReaper yes.
@Dr. Monster Vibes even so the car is fun to drive.
Well it did everything the RS6 did.. Speed doesn't matter when driving on snow
Cause it’s so light and on snow.. heavy on snow means more grip
Esc was off
Very interesting indeed! I’m amazed at how the Q-Tron GT controlled the traction to each wheel, remarkable really! Land Rover take note!!!
In drag races involving snow or traction, I believe you ought to let us know what tires each car is using because that will impact everything.
Damn... These Audi's are faster up a snowy hill than my car is on dry asphalt.
🤣
Matt never fails to impress us 🤠🥰
@Purwanti Allan Yeah always cheer me up 😇
Matt always impress everyone. As ever.
Brilliant timing. Just as it snows in uk this morning and we were looking for a new car 😂😂
I bet it is.
In winter sports the track always changes for each contestant, and most of all in the beginning. I think you should have let the winner, who was first, also try again at the end. Might have been a surprise.
That e tron is impressive. The extra weight helps it to dig deep in the snow.
@Gosia Fojut this is not extra weight .
@Alo XXX Lern more about car weight balance
Rs6 heavier so no .
Center of gravity is what matters.. etron Has most weight very low to the ground
These are the types of tests I want to see! The usual runway tests can be summed up by Jeremy Clarkson: “Top Gear drag races, proving what you can work out from the manufacturers’ specs”.
Congratulations you have been selected in our draw. Text on Telegram for your prize!!
This is amazing, so creative. You should definitely keep doing these original content!!!
Mat, I don't know which is more impressive, your use of adverbs - which sadly seemed to have become dirty words - or the traction of your test car. 👌😊 That was a very interesting test with unexpected results. More of this please.
Snow was compacted by the much heavier cars which made it harder for the little rs3 at the end, bet if the cars started the other way around it would’ve been a different result
He disabled EDL! Are you seriusly wasting time on anything else? It would be like disabling ABS brakes and doing wet braking maneuverability test. HE FAKED THE WHOLE THING!
This, they should've gone lightest to heaviest. Would the EV had made it after the snow was compacted into an ice sheet.
👍👍👍👍
This looked like so much fun. What a great idea...Bet it wasn't a cheap video to make.
We should maybe not forget, that the conditions for the RS3 were the hardest after two over 2 ton cars compressed the surface and made it even more slippery! But other than that, nice test. You should have tried reverse gear as well. For the fun.
👆👆👆 congratulations 👆👆 you have been selected as a winner.......
Jesus that quattro is an absolute masterpiece. Bravo audi 👏
You know the old joke from wrecker about Audis in winter snow/ice? All the cars in the ditches are Audis. On the other hand, that joke is more a testament to the overconfident owners, than it is about the cars. Of course that joke was coined long before traction and stability control was a thing.
@Purwanti Allan and what do you mean with "stabilities on snow"?
@Purwanti Allan what are you saying? what does have an impreza do with this video?
@Roman Senger agree.
@Ersarian TheOneAndOnly R33 and Impreza both also have stabilities on snow.
Looking forward for Mat to drive the 2023 Audi RS6 and RS7 C8 performance! 630HP and 850NM 😎👍
Wow! That was an eye-opener. Amazed at that Audi EV.
Thank you for ☝️☝️watching and leaving a comment🎊🎉 Congratulation you have been selected among my lucky winners DM to claim your prize🎁
Wow, didn't think electric cars could sound so good. The e-tron certainly won the sound check. Sounded like it was about to win a group-b rally event
I know it's subjective but our ears are clearly different. It sounded like a cheap and nasty, raspy, popping, banging PoS to me. Just like all these modern fake afterfire shitboxes. :)
Daniel is such a sweet gem that needs to be preserved at all cost! lmao
Hi, great video. Would like to see the same test, with the same car, but with standard , all season, and again the winter tyres, to show the difference
I'd be interested to see how an STI with the locked center dif would do on that final test
@Jason Yokoyama it uses the brakes to slow spinning wheels and forcing toque to the wheels on the ground. In the car wow test the ESP systems were all off. In that ski slope with ESP off, a Subaru will spin its front left and rear right and go nowhere.
@Thorstein Klingenberg it appears you're correct. Here's the best I could find, but it looks like it's only able to move with one wheel by actually getting traction from the side of the rollers. cs-tv.org/tv/video-sqZE52Os_qE.html
@Jason Yokoyama The front and rear diffs are still open.
@Thorstein Klingenberg maybe different years had different systems, but at least when I had a 2004 (US spec) STI, when the center diff was locked, it was hard to park because the tires would skip because everything was locked.
@Jason Yokoyama No, it would spin the front left and rear right wheel.
Awesome video. And one more nail to the ICE. EVs have become way superior.
Thank you for ☝️☝️watching and leaving a comment🎊🎉 Congratulation you have been selected among my lucky winners DM to claim your prize🎁❤🎉
The progress is more due to the winter tires than the all wheel drive train systems.
They are most likely using the same tyres on all of em, else that would be dumb af
3 outstanding cars. I love em.
Tires, suspension travel and wheelbase also matter. Interesting video
👆👆Claim your prize you've won🎁🎁🎁🎁
I really like this test I mean, I'm not an Audi guy but I do want to get a 1st gen R32 golf for Alaska driving, and this video showed me the difference between Quattro and a typical halidex all wheel drive system
First gen haldex was even more fwd biased that this drift spec haldex in the rs3
Next hopefully Audi RS3 vs Skyline R33 vs Corvette ZR1 2009 Snow Drag Battles.
The fact the RS3 has leveling wheel caps is hilarious.

Okay I’ll go straight out and get me one of those 4WD EV Audis… oh wait, I don’t live on a snow slope 😂 Interesting watch though, and when I move to Ben Nevis, I know which motor dealer to visit first 😂
4WD EV Audis are better on snow than even ZR1 Corvettes.
👆👆Thanks for watching and congratulation 🎊you have been selected among my shortlisted winners. Telegram only to claim your prize 🎁🥰🎁
Great video, but please next time show for each car what tyre you're using, because that's what makes the biggest difference in reality. I passed so many 4x4 SUVs stuck in the snow with cheap 4seasons with my front wheel drive Swift Sport only because I've fitted it with Pirelli Sottozero wich are tremendous tyres in the snow. So even if the fact that an electric car can send power to each wheel more precisely is a good explanation for the etron GT winning, I can't help but doubting that the challenge could be affected by it having better tyres.

This would be so cool with other cars too! More winter drag races!
Would have been interesting to see a 2wd car with winter tyres on it.
I have a 2019 RS3 which was terrible last year in the snow. I replaced my winter tires this season however we haven't had any snow yet. I'm looking forward to my first drive in the snow.
Hmm, interesting comparisons. I wonder what something like the plug-in x-drive hybrids would be like up there? Electric at the rear and petrol drive up front!
Love the RS3 with it five cylinder
I'd love to see something like this for BMW ! Cars, SUVs, and cross overs each done separately with the same type of BMW products for each class.
Can we all just appreciate the Editing team
Nicly quattro explained, both torsen and haldex mentioned. perfect video matt, happy new year
Great snow race, please more!!!!!
What about ZR1 Corvette LM Race Car on Snow Tires against RS6?
That eTron is a mountain goat. Amazing. Love to see that up against a Range Rover Sport 😁
You should try a very underrated car for the offroad challenges, a 2003-2006 VW Touareg V10 TDI. They are brilliant
Even we dont have snow in my country really love this snow drag race . ❤from 🇲🇲
Let's talk ♥️ I have something for you🎁🎁
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
Winter tyres on snow - not ice, will grip really well.
Id love to see if Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD passes these tests, especially with their new e-boxers
Really cool but you should do this kind of race with the same tyre on all the cars because it change a lot. still this kind of race are fun!
Could you do a comparison between quattro, xdrive, and 4matic? 🤔
Yes. Maybe January 28th 2023.
wow that e tron sounds insane 😂😂

Would of loved to hear and see more on the tyres all 3 cars had on this video 🙂
RS 6 and the etron were on Pirelli P Zero Winters. Not sure about the RS 3.

Defo need a thorough, and i mean thorough, Xdrive v 4matic v Quattro v Haldex in the higher end models (M's, 63's, RS and R's) comp please :D
theres cars out there with Xdrive 4matic and quattro badges and they all use haldex systems. Only some more powerfull and sporty models like the rs6 in this video use a more rwd based system. What i mean is that these days Quattro is just a badge. Yeah audi will perform better most of the time in snow but there is no such thing as a quattro system its just a badge for all awd audis
Still got your GR Yaris, Matt? I'd like to see how a small lightweight car copes in this test. Maybe up against Golf R or similar
one cooler than the other! Like them all 🤩
I really want to see this on ice (uphill ofcourse)...when weight is a problem. I bet for opposite result.
Would love to see this tests done with Subaru's.
more cars on a longer slope! too much fun!
And TOKIMEKI all the same.
I'll concede that I'm blown away by what the E-tron achieved there. Who's have thought an electric vehicle is actually better suited to a ski slope than a school run or trip to the supermarket!
Not really surprised to be honest. The extra thousand pounds in weight help tremendously from a dead stop on packed snow. There is a reason why snow plows will add weight when plowing snow.
It just super heavy so a lot more grip, easy as that, put 200 kg in any of other cars and they would have increased grip
So impressed with the RS E-Tron GT, my neighbour has exactly the same on in the same colour
Let's talk ♥️ I have something for you🎁🎁
Love that e-Tron GT :) But wow is it pricey… would struggle to choose it over its biological twin the Taycan.
We need more of these test...lol, awesome
Congratulations you have been selected in our draw. Text on Telegram for your prize!!
Would love to see the 3 german all-drive's. M5, RS7, E63S
Race starts 4:08
It's another insane drag race in Saturday!
@nicalev yeah... every video the same generic comment....
@Rasher basher every Saturday it’s the same comments
@nicalev have a look at some of the older carwow videos. You'll see what I mean.
Jesus!!! Programmers need to pick this up!! It’s ON
"In Saturday"🤔 its f###### "on".
Always talk about TYRES first. Really good snow tyres make an enormous difference.
Thank you for ☝️☝️watching and leaving a comment🎊🎉 Congratulation you have been selected among my lucky winners DM to claim your prize🎁
RS6 had 22 inch low profile tires but the etron GT had 20 or 21 inch tires. That makes a difference espeically starting from the corner.
This is i wanted for Christmas thanks to you guys 😊
