Audi RS6 Avant vs Mercedes-AMG E63 S – Drag race and rolling race

Ciro De Siena

7 May 2021

All the power you could ever ask for in a 4-door family car meant for the Autobahn. What happens when we put them against each other in a drag race?

We are very excited to bring you a clash between these two German sledgehammers. These cars are the product of a manic German power war, which has resulted in family cars having more power than Lamborghini supercars.

And so the test car stars aligned, we hired an airstrip outside Cape Town and we staged a few epic 400-metre races between the brand new Audi RS6 Avant and the facelifted Mercedes-AMG E63 S.

The Mercedes has the upper hand in the power and torque department but Audi has a reputation for awesome launch control systems. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this super-saloon (and wagon) shoot-out.
