Audi S5 v New AMG C43 v BMW M340i: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an almighty German showdown!

We’ve got Mat in the new Audi S5, and he’s lining up against the new Mercedes-AMG C64 and the BMW M340i! The question is, does the all-new Audi have enough power to propel itself to victory? Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the S5, it’s powered by a 3-litre turbocharged V6 that can put down 367hp and 550Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in a t 1,950kg. As new, the Audi costs around £69,000.

Alongside him, we have the new AMG C43. This houses a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine under the bonnet, and this produces 435hp and 500Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,810kg. It’s slightly cheaper than the Audi, coming in at £67,500.

Then finally we have the BMW. It’s the pre-facelift edition of the M340i, but the power stats are the same as the latest edition, so its 3-litre turbocharged V6 delivers 337hp and 500Nm. Power is delivered to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto, and it’s the lightest car here, weighing in at 1,670kg. If you’re looking to buy the latest edition, it’ll cost around £60,000.




So the AMG has the most power, but will it be able to take down its rivals? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE! Don’t forget to follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
