Which is the better German high-performance compact car: the Mercedes-AMG A45 S or the Audi RS3? Well, we’re here to find out! Mat has got his hands on both of these high-performance pocket rockets and will explain everything you need to know to find out which is the best! (Ok, it’s the RS3 sedan instead of the hatchback, but it’s basically the same car…) So let’s take a look at the performances. Starting with the Audi, it has a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo petrol engine under the hood, which produces 400hp and 500 Nm of torque. It’s equipped with all-wheel drive and Audi claims it can hit 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. As for the AMG, it actually has one less cylinder, with a 2-litre 4-cylinder engine housed up front. However, it’s worth noting that this is the most powerful 2-litre 4-cylinder engine in the world, so it can make 421hp and 500Nm – so it’s more powerful than the Audi! It can also hit 100km/h slightly quicker, in 3.7 seconds. In terms of styling, it’s fair to say that the Audi is definitely a little more understated than the AMG. Sure, it comes with two huge oval tailpipes along with some big air intakes up front, but that’s nothing compared to the massive quad tailpipes and that giant wing on the AMG! In terms of price, they’re both relatively similar, with the Audi starting at £55,000 and the AMG at £59,000. But which should you go for? There’s only one way to find out: stick with Mat for this brand new group test! Instagram – /carwow Tiktok – /carwow Facebook – /carwowuk Twitter – /carwowuk
