Porsche 911 GT3 PDK Drag Races Audi RS7 in Family Brawl

There are times when a family brawl can't be avoided, regardless of the efforts made by its wise members. And when such a conflict starts burning, it won't end easily. Case in point - the drag race in the video below, which sees a Porsche 911 GT3 battling it out with an Audi RS7.

At first, it might seem odd for somebody to organize a drag race between such different manifestations of the Volkswagen Group's go-fast desires, but these two are much closer than they seem from a financial point of view.

With the GT3 and the RS7 being about ten grand apart, things suddenly don't seem so odd anymore.

For one thing, the world has seen more than one 911-owning father who decided to give up his rear-engined car in favor of a performance Ingolstadt machine once the family headcount demanded this. Will the fight seen here be some sort of revenge for the 911 or will the Audi prove it's worth playing the replacement car role? We don't want to ruin the fun provided by the footage below, so we won't throw any spoilers at you.

As for the technical comparo between the two, the Audi might be considerably heavier, but its superior output does aim to make up for that. It's enough to consider the torque figures to understand that: while the Porsche has 324.5 lb-ft (440 Nm), the Audi delivers 516 lb-ft (700 Nm).

The two pieces of German engineering battle it out on an airfield runway, so all the drivers have to worry about is keeping those pedals welded to the floor.

We're warning any keyboard warriors that may point out Audi's RS portfolio also includes something called RS7 Performance that the endless ways of the Neunelfer line-up could have summoned a Turbo S on the runway on the day the two cars decided to duke it out.
