Audi RS4 vs BMW M3 Acceleration

In this video you will watch Audi RS4 Plus vs BMW M3 – Acceleration

How fast is it then? Audi RS4 performance specs

The 2018 RS4 is 0.6sec quicker than its predecessor from 0-62mph, at 4.1sec (two tenths slower than the lighter RS5) and tops out at 174mph, if buyers spec the optional RS Dynamic package. Otherwise, it’s electronically limited to 155mph as standard. It feels every inch that fast on the road.

At 1790kg, you wouldn’t describe the 2018 RS4 Avant as lightweight, but it does weigh 80kg less than the outgoing RS4.

As the Quattro badges and widescreen wheelarches (so cool) suggest, all-wheel drive is standard, shuffling the torque split front to rear as required. During typical driving it’s divided 40:60 front:rear, with as much as 85% of torque directed to the front or 70% to the rear as the system detects wheel slip. We tested the RS4 on a slippery UK winter day and it coped with freezing conditions and a light dusting of snow with imperious ease. Traction is first-rate.

An electronically controlled Sport rear differential is an option in some markets, but will be fitted to all new RS4s in the UK as standard, with the ability to precisely portion more or less torque to each individual rear wheel as required.

SAFETY

The 2018 M3 hasn’t been crash tested by the NHTSA and IIHS. However, the 2018 BMW 3 Series, the car on which the M3 is based, received a five-star overall rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars). In IIHS testing, the 2018 3 Series received a Good score in crashworthiness tests except for the passenger side front small overlap impact where it hasn’t been tested yet and the headlights test where it received an Average score (Good is the possible highest score).

In the front crash prevention test, the 3 Series received an Advanced rating after it reduced the severity of a 12-mph and 25-mph impact by 7 mph and 6 mph respectively (Superior is the highest rating for the front crash prevention test) As a result, the 2018 3 Series received the Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS.

Active drive assistance features are available as part of different optional package or as standalone extras. Blind-spot monitoring is available as a standalone option while automatic high beams are part of the Executive package. The Driving Assistance package adds speed limit info, and the Active Driving Assistance, which bundles together forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning.
