Sam CarLegion originally planned for three cars partaking in this quarter-mile showdown: an R35, an E 63 S, and a TT RS, all of them boasting more power .
If this particular RS 3 looks familiar to you, it should. It s the same exact car Iroz brought to race against Ken Block s 1400-horsepower Hoonicorn in one of Hoonigan s drag racing videos shot last year. It s worth noting that this 1000-horsepower Audi actually
beat the Hoonicorn in one of the runs (before ultimately losing in a best two out of three competition).
With all that power and a set of fat drag radials, it was able to record a 7.989-second quarter-mile pass this past weekend at Famoso Raceway in McFarland, California, with a trap speed of 172 mph. That makes it the quickest and fastest RS 3 to ever run the quarter-mile.
