Which one out of the two sports sedans would you bet on in a quarter-mile acceleration race, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 or the Audi RS3? The answer becomes way more complicated when you learn that both send 800 horsepower to the wheels…
One might be tempted to consider the Audi the favorite of the race thanks to its one extra cylinder (the Lancer Evo only has four), a more up-to-date seven-speed DSG transmission and 2018-model-year electronic innards. But the Mitsubishi is no slouch, either: it packs a synchronized gearbox and a highly efficient AWD system, and weighs in at 227 kilos (500 lbs) under the Audi, which can become crucial in a competition like this one.
Okay, so which one would you personally imagine the first past the finish line? Take your pick, then watch the video!
