The Porsche 911 Turbo S and the Audi RS7 are brilliant ways of exploring the possibilities of German engineering as a consumer. Their fame has spread all over the world, which is why we're here to bright you a tale from Russia.
And while these machines are extremely capable in factory stock form, there will always be owners seeking extra thrills. Well, this is where the aftermarket side of the industry enters the scene. And we have to let you know that this Russian battle, which takes the form of a drag race, involves modded incarnations of the said toys.
The Zuffenhausen supercar is animated by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat six, while the engine compartment of the Ingolstadt toy packs a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8.
The mods fitted to the two machines are of lesser importance here. However, we have to mention that each of them beings 800 horsepower to the table. To get an idea of what such a setup means, we'll mention that it sits close to the limits of a streetable tuning project - once you go into the four-digit output area, you enter racing land.
A Russian YouTube channel brought the two together, with sprinting battle aims in mind. We're talking about machines that mix dual-clutch transmissions with an all-paw setup, so the standing start wasn't a problem for any of them.
As such, you'll be able to check out such a drag race at the 8:16 point of the video below.
Nevertheless, the two also engaged in rolling start racing, an adventure that awaits you at the 10:22 point of the clip.
Note that while the Audi RS7 comes with a partially stripped interior, the 911 Turbo S is here in complete form. And while this does help the Audi a little bit, we'll remind you that the scale footprint difference between the two sits at over 250 kg (550 lbs).
