Audi vs Audi line-ups don’t get much better than this!
Mat’s lining up in the all-new Audi RS3, and he’s facing off against a 1985 Audi Sport Quattro S1 Group B rally car!!
So let’s compare the stats on these two 5 cylinder beasts! Starting with the RS3, it’s powered by a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo that can put down 400hp & 500Nm. It drives all four wheels and weighs in at 1,575kg. A new one today will cost you around £57,000.
Then we have the rally car. It’s up on power compared to the RS3, with its 2.1-litre 5 cylinder turbo producing 500hp & 480Nm. Naturally, it’s also lighter, tipping the scales at 1,090kg. And given its age, it’s worth a whole lot more than the RS3, with an insurance value of £1,700,000!!
However, there’s one key difference compared to the RS3 - it’s equipped with a 6-speed manual! Will that prove the difference? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

What’s your favourite classic car??
-
The turbo sound from that rally car is so satisfying!
-
Imagine how quick the rally car actually was in its day. Game changer that thing 👊
-
Over 30 years apart, that level of performance back then must have been astonishing.
-
Those group B cars were absolutely insane. That kind of performance available from snow, tarmac, gravel and mud. Just mind boggling...
-
What a great driver. Obviously the quattro is amazing but manual shifting and winning is amazing
-
That turbo sound of the sport quattro 😍😍🤤
-
I'm glad to see the old quattro win. Allways loved that car. It looks like it's build with lego and is just magnificent.
-
I can't imagine anyone getting bored of this video, that S1 in full flight is a beautiful scene to witness. Daftest thing about this is that the S1 could replicate the same performance off road as well. Goes to show just how far Group B was ahead of it's time in the 80's.
-
I wish you had multiple cameras inside that Rally car to see driver’s movements when changing gears etc, interesting race.
-
I would love if Mat drag race more legendary cars like this insane Quattro Rally!
-
Finally! I've been waiting for a real Groub B rallycar dragrace my whole life, that was awesome! Bow before lord!
-
Group B cars are so crazy! I would like to see also a Lancia Delta S4, maybe one of the more extreme stages like over 600BHP... It would be amazing! 😎
-
That Quattro is ridiculously fast... imagine how it felt 30 years ago LOL
-
That turbo whistle is amazing😍
-
Puts a smile on my face after knowing the classics will forever live on
-
Mind boggling how a car from 1985 can beat 35 years of development. Well done.
-
back when turbos were cool, not just mandatory items to meet efficiency targets
-
That S1 - it doesn't matter whether it won. It's such an iconic car, all we need is that sound of the motor and its waste gate... Legendary.
-
Closer than I expected. Great sound, beautiful cars.
