## Summary

In this video, CarWow hosts a drag race between a heavily tuned BMW M140i, an Audi S3 with a V6 engine swap, and a Lamborghini Revuelto. The cars compete in standing quarter-mile and rolling races to determine which modified car is fastest.

### Key Points

- **Cars Introduced** [00:01] — The contenders are a standard Lamborghini Revuelto (1000 hp), a tuned BMW M140i (up to 1600 hp), and an Audi S3 with an undisclosed amount of tuning.
- **First Race Results** [01:31] — The BMW M140i wins the first race, surprising the host. The Audi S3 arrives late and is not in the race.
- **Audi S3 Specs** [02:45] — The Audi S3 has a 3.2L turbocharged V6 engine swap making 950 hp and 900 Nm, with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive, weighing 1.6 tons.
- **BMW M140i Specs** [03:14] — The BMW M140i has a turbocharged 3.4L 6-cylinder engine making 1200 hp and 1500 Nm in low boost mode, with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive, weighing under 1.5 tons.
- **Rolling Race Setup** [03:43] — A rolling race from 50 mph to the half-mile is set up. Drivers choose their gears.
- **Rolling Race Results** [04:47] — The BMW wins again, with the Audi struggling with lag and the Lamborghini backing off early.
- **Second Rolling Race** [06:19] — The BMW wins despite missing a gear. The Audi has a gear shift issue. The Lamborghini's bonnet comes loose.
- **Quarter-Mile Race Setup** [08:37] — A standing quarter-mile race is planned. The BMW driver considers using medium boost to avoid overheating.
- **Quarter-Mile Race** [10:04] — The BMW wins with a time of 8.8 seconds, the Audi does 9.9 seconds, and the Lamborghini finishes last at 10.0 seconds.

### Conclusion

The heavily tuned BMW M140i dominates the drag races, proving that modifications can outperform even a supercar like the Lamborghini Revuelto.

out by racing them over the standing quarter mile. I'm Matt Watson. You're watching Car Wow. And hopefully no cars will blow up.
interesting, we're not going to warm my tires up first. What will happen? tires up first. What will happen? >> 2.
Wow, that was amazing. This car hooked up, but that BMW, I'm so surprised speak to its owner. You probably recognize him. Hey, Ricky. How was that? Oh, wait a minute Ricky. Look, the Audi's finally here. Hello, Audi. You're
bit late to the party, mate. I think you might have lost. What happened? I don't go. >> Well, we'll give it another go in a bringing your car down. It looks impressive. How was that launch for you?
got you on the line as well. >> Yeah, I mean, first time out on Car Wow, and your launch was insanely good. I think I can do a better launch, but your car was just pulling. I want to see though how that Audi does because he
wasn't in the race then. I've got another question to ask you, Ricky. Were >> That's actually low boost. I think traction was good. So, we might be able could probably turn it up. >> Yeah. Okay. If you want to do more
what your car can do and find out what the Audi can do. But before we do some more drag racing, let's do some other tests. Right. I'm not going to race him, can do it properly this time. Can he? Can't he? We'll find out,
frightening, actually. You're back in the game, Miguel. You're back in the game. This Audi S3 has a 3.2 L turbocharged V6 engine swap with 950 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. It drives all four wheels through a 7-speed
dual clutch automatic gearbox and weighs 1.6 tons. Ricker's M140i has a turbocharged 3.4 L 6-cylinder engine, which makes 1200 horsepower and 1500 new meters in low boost mode. It has an 8-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel
drive conversion, but still weighs less than 1.5 tons to see how these cars compare to this Lamborghini Ruelto. Pause the video now. But before we could get into the rolling race, Ricky had some fettling to do.
race, Ricky had some fettling to do. >> Keep her nice and cool. probably >> more 1400 now.
>> Right. And Miguel, are you sure you're going to be able to drive your car this >> I'm gonna try. >> Okay. Rolling Grace. Car's going to be going to race to the half mile. I'm going to set the speed about 50 mph.
going to set the speed about 50 mph. Then I'll call it in three 2 one go.
were all just left standing and then your car came on boost and you flew >> Yeah, I you left me. I was in auto, wasn't I? So, yeah, a bit of lag. took probably a gear or two to get down, but yeah, come pass in the end as I
>> And Miguel, you looked like you had the same issue and was gaining on me, but you It's like you backed off too soon. Was there a problem with your car? reached the second corn, so I think probably backed off a bit too early.
chance of maybe catching me. But let's find out in the next race. You can use would you like to be in? >> Uh, probably third for me, >> Probably. Yeah. Third or second? I'll have to see.
one are you going to go for >> from 50? I'll probably say second. well. Ricky, what do you want? Third or second. second. >> Before we do that though, let's do a
sound check. So, Ricky, can you rev up your car?
Nice. Nice. Now, let's have a listen to your R32 engine, Miguel.
Oh. Oh, yes. Are you ready for 6.5 L V12, GUYS?
sound anything like this. Right, listen to this race. 3 2 1 go.
>> Missed the bloody gear that still caught you. >> Sorry. What was that, Miguel? You what? A gear. It basically will span second gear and it didn't shift. So, I had to manually shift. So, it bounced off the
then >> Do you realize your bonnet was coming >> It's not off, but yeah, the wind will pull it. It's carbon fiber, so it's a >> I don't think that's helping your arrow. Anyway, Ricky, once again, you won that
even more power? >> There's plenty more power, but I'm I'm thought even in medium boost I'd probably pull a bit more, but Matt, we got to look after her. We got a stressful weekend ahead.
whatever you want to do. Let's head back and we're going to do a/4 mile race, but we're going to roll in at 10 mph. >> See, the thing is, Matt, believe it or not, my times were faster in low boost. So, I'm looking at my data. I'm using
slower with more power. >> Okay. Well, it's up to you. your car. Will he run in full power? >> I want to um need to throw a bit more ice in. I need some fuel as well. >> He's running out of fuel already. I want
to know whether he's going to run it in high power. I bet he will. I bet he at a time? >> Um only needs a couple of liters. It just dropped below the uh the minimum. So, it just won't give me the boost. Um
>> Yeah. >> Every tenth of a second horsepower. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Now, we're going to do a rolling from 10
>> I think I I think just keep it in the same map for you guys. It might be good for views if I crash it, but >> No, we don't want that. We don't want You think it's going to be faster? >> Mediumish. Yeah, it be like low, medium.
for that then? >> Um, well, it's probably going to be in between, yeah, 12 and 12 and 14. So yeah, I'm going to go down a few PSI. Um, so probably 13, I reckon. >> Well, let's see how it does. You all
>> Uh, yeah. Yeah. So, I'm just trying to think cuz I've got a little bit of ice do another run after the ice? >> I'd like to do it cuz what what is your >> Well, firstly, as I said, I'm about to be out of ice and I need the ice
have gone up to 40 now, which is fine. It just needs to cool down, isn't it? It's just these kind of builds, it's back to back runs what kills them. Do cool it down? >> Uh, yeah.
instead. >> If you don't want to do that, it's up to you. >> We'll do what you want to do. Just turn it up a little bit. >> Yeah, Ricky, what we'll do is a quarter
>> Oh, sweet. So Rick has done a lot of driving about to try and cool his car ice into it and we're not going to do the 10 mph rolling. We're just going to We don't know how many goes he's going to get in that car and we want to do the
proper runs cuz the drag race is what really counts. How fast will his car go? we got some good number plates on all these cars. Don't you think? Check them out. >> 3 2 1
Oh, they only got a good start coming past it.
your car just shot off. Clear victory. Are you pleased with that? the more I turn it up, the slower this car go. The the service isn't too bad, for the car. >> Miguel, are you pleased?
>> Yeah, but I was sort of all over the place halfway through. I don't know how, but I must have hit the concrete patch. >> However, you came past me, so the >> However, you came past me, so the Lamborghini came last.
Oh dear. Right, then let's compare these cars times. So then what exactly happened? Well, the BMW 1, it completed the standing quarter mile in 8.8 seconds. The Audi took 9.9 seconds, and the Lamborghini came last with a time of
10 seconds dead. I just want to say a huge thanks to down and letting us play with them and to Sean for lending me this Lamborghini. videos, click on the video windows. And if you want to compare these cars quart
