Audi RS3 2020 vs 2017: DRAG RACE & DYNO TEST... have the new emissions regs ruined performance cars

Hi everyone this is Matt from Carlisle so I'm setting up the current LD rs3 next to me it's the

2017

LD rs3 now the car is before the LT P changes this one is later so it's Equipped with a particle filter to reduce the amount. of unpleasant

emissions

that enter the atmosphere. I want to see if that affects the

performance

because I've been doing some

drag

racing with this current car and the current TT RS and the numbers

have

n't been as good as when I'm racing the previous generation

cars

. so I want to see if there really is a difference between them, let's go to a

drag

race

, we'll see what happens now to help me with that.

I

have

Janna Mize's Yanni, but I don't want to get bored with the details. I'm going to trick him a little, tease him a little. You realize we are sitting in the same car. Oh, DRS three, yes, finally something fair. You're not going to cheat. They are all yours. They have slightly nicer wheels. Come on. do it a little faster. I'm a car guy, so obviously I'd have the shiny black wheels I have on there under the assumption that we have the same car. He doesn't know that they're actually different, so I'm going to tell him he's just here to see who has the quickest reaction to throwing who has the quickest reactions to when the stars start Now you always think it's you, but I think even though I'm a little older and that affects reaction times, I think he can beat you, look for him, I'm ready for you, finally, finally it will be fair, he should win this first

race

if my prediction about these

cars

is correct, let's move on now before we do it , make sure to subscribe to this channel.

Also, if you want to follow Yanni on his channel, click there, it's a pop-up banner, you can see his stuff in one way or another. Find a way to cheat at least even if you win fairly. Both cars have a 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 400 horsepower and 480 Newton meters of torque, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with launch control and, of course, everything. . wheel drive, let's move on, let's do science, come on, reaction time, don't fail me now, oh come on, I think our reactions are the same, oh my god, it's so close, we have the same card to be fair and the car is running. same thing oh my god in front of me ah that's so close it beat me I had a reaction when it lost traction I saw myself walking away in front of you and then you caught up with me right away and then you started to walk away and I've lost some weight so I'm going to To hear about this weight problem now, don't shame me, okay, stop it, you guys weigh seventeen and a half kilos, so all of those weigh kilos and I'm six foot two. and Matt is about five foot four to be fair.

Big nonsense too, yeah, I guess so, so sometimes when you sign, it doesn't always work the way you think, so you repeat your experiment, which is what denying it involves. I'm just going to give you a second chance second chance he stood naked there killed him He didn't kill him he's a little faster there's not much to this on Matthew's part and that was basically the reaction although his Cod definitely feels faster or seems to have a faster reaction time. that's so spot on Wow, I want to be arrogant or something, but you guys saw that at home, right?

Yeah, it was definitely Barrett timing me, there's a slight delay, so I think they count it better. than me, so not only do you react faster, you are also smarter, yes, yes, I'm already crazy oh no, I won, right?, so I'm kind to win, so Yanni, you won, you got the line faster and you won the race. You did a good job or you just tried different cars. You see cars have something to do with it. Maybe we can swap cars, yeah, because I actually think your cars are faster than mine. Come on, it's a great connection.

I just want to beat him. God, how close are you member, can I lose weight when I say can I get your knee back for hitting me and making me look like a fool on my own channel in all seriousness, it seems like this car was a little faster, but Yanni had a bigger reaction. quick if you beat me in that car now I would say my theory about LTP affecting car

performance

is pretty unfounded so let's do the race to see if there's a difference ah, I don't want to pay attention to where you're going - you were just instagramming I was looking behind me I wasn't paying any attention at all do it outside the line yeah one handed it's called quick alert it's fast you know what he's doing in the back a little bit it's faster look come on come on it's fast, quick, come closer, so what exactly happened?

Well, they both caused the quarter foot mark in twelve point five seconds, but to my surprise, the new post W LTP 2019 rs3 actually won by a nose in the second race, the old

2017

pre w LT p. The rs3 won by a clear margin through the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds, while the new 2019 hos WL TP rs3 took twelve.5 seconds in the final race. Jonnie managed to close the gap and both cars crossed the line in twelve.5. seconds Bert, once again the old 2017 3wl TP rs3 still won by a nose, same drag racing turns, the older car seems to start a little better and this only gives it the advantage, however the older car new one actually seems a little louder once it's running. but is this the case?

It's time to perform a lock-up acceleration

test

in third gear to take the uncertainty out of launching a good 50 mile per hour run, let's see what happens, yes, much faster than you, oh yes, that's my train to the March, remember when I did that? in the McLaren and you teased me mercilessly, we are going to do this again but can you change gears this time please, no problem? I will definitely beat you, this costs a lot, quickly, honestly, a second gear goes into third, fourth, you. I'm moving away, if I can get there, I go up to the level, oh yeah, there's not much to it, well I'm ahead, but it seems like you're realizing a point when you pass me, what's going on? 150, you left me, this car was moving away from that. one, wasn't it midrange obviously, I've got you, you jump, you've got me, so it seems like lower down, your midrange faster, I'm faster, on the top end, you're a lot faster, okay , so it's not as clear as I thought, I thought they were identical, but they're not.

I think really the only way to find this out is probably to put them on the

dyno

, so he took the cars to Pk Automotive in Lincoln, where owner Paul Killingsworth put them both together. cars on its high-tech

test

bed, interestingly, both produce the same maximum power of 355 horsepower at the wheels, which translates to 409 at the wheel; however, the way they deliver their power is slightly different at the beginning of the rev range, the 2017 car is producing more torque than the 2019 model, so at launch when the clutch engages it can jump off the line a little more fiercely and that's why you get a head start;

However, at about 3500 rpm, the 2017 car hits a small flat spot, while the 2019 does not. and it actually starts to produce more torque and with a higher and slightly earlier peak at 4000 rpm, which is 500 rpm earlier in the rev range than the maximum torque in the 2017 Prix w LTV car, that's why the newer model seems to make up a little lost ground in the drag race, also the reason it goes faster in the rolling race, looks at 50 miles per hour in third gear, 2019 car is right on its torque maximum and therefore initially Paul is ahead despite Annie's extra volume, however if you look at the rs3 2017 graph above, after reaching maximum torque he is holding on quite well to his conversation which means which has a smooth power curve up to its redline and therefore accelerates smoothly.

Now look at the post with LTP rs3 and your conversation disappears. a bit quicker after your Pete, plus there are two noticeable flat spots in its power curve, meaning it doesn't accelerate as smoothly at the top end. The car expert in Nepal believes that this is due to the addition of the particulate filter to the new RS through its exhaust system affects the engine's ability to breathe at high revs and therefore in rolling race at speeds. really high with the highest wind resistance, the effect of these flat spots is magnified, which is when the pre W LTP 2017 rs3, which does not have The particulate filter really advances or, like Yanni's butt, Dino has already revealed the midrange at the top end faster, you are much faster, well done Yanni, you are the best, thank you so you are sitting with four seats and four wheels. that's called auto and use the weirdness in front of you to make it change direction, add a working rewind selector, come back again
