Directly comparing the latest BMW X3 M SUV against the newest Audi RS3 sedan would be wrong for a number of reasons, but both are sold as ‘performance cars’, meaning we could at least try to figure out which one goes faster.
This is what the tuners did in the video here. To help the Bavarian crossover cope with its lighter and more aerodynamically shaped rival, its engine received a boost from the standard 476 hp (355 kW) to around 550 hp (410 kW).
That said, the sedan also received a mild boost, ending up with slightly more than 500 hp (373 kW). Both cars send the momentum to all four wheels, making the outcome all the more interesting.
Will the BMW be able to use its modest performance edge to overpower the agile Audi or not? Watch the video to find out!
