The best-sounding cars of all time have inline-5s and V-10s, and so we lined up the 2023 Audi RS3 with the Lexus LFA and a Porsche Carrera GT!
This episode of Ultimate Drag Race Replay is brought to you by WeatherTech:
First, Jason races the new Audi RS3 against an S3 to show how much quicker the 5-cylinder Audi is than its 4-cylinder brother.
The RS3 has the world’s only remaining 5-cylinder engine, so Jason raced it against the first-ever production gasoline 5-cylinder — in its semifinal form in a 1991 Audi 200 20V Quattro.
Then it’s time for a rev-off argument with Randy Pobst in a Porsche Carrera GT. Plus, an objective measurement of which is louder: CGT or LFA?
With special thanks to 034 Motorsport for bringing out their Audi S4!

I choose Lexus because it is a technological marvel
Jason cracks me up, but he’s also making me want to spend a lot of money on high end cars that go fast! What more could you want!
LFA❤
The Carrera GT any day ❤❤
ちなみにLFAはヤマハ発動機作👍名前トヨタだけで😅エンジン等ヤマハ👍
did i just see a jeep wrangler right behind an audi?
The difference with Audis original turbo 5 was it was in the correct orientation.
Now Acura and Audi dress up economy cars and sell them at a premium
Except for the fact that the Carerra GT will eventually kill you, picking between the LFA and CGT is like being forced to choose between the family jewels.. which do you love more…
That sound at 7:43 is the best thing i ever heard. And people saying LFA sounds better?? Hell nah its very good but not on that level
Fun fact: That 5 cil engine is now in the VZ5 formentor and can be get with a option called ABT and makes more power and it is amazing looking …. I love that car.
Carrera gt is just perfection!
The video edition in 4:55 its awesome!!!
В начале за rs3 академик сидит
The old 5Cyl sounds SOOOOOO much better than the new in my opinion.
You guys have chosen a wrong competitor model for the LFA, it should be the Mercedes SLS AMG…
gt
How about some VR6 sounds.
5 cylinder engines are the best sounding to be fair.
No roll racing ??

❤ yo entiendo a los de toyota hicieron un single clutch para que uno sienta de verdad al auto ,si lo hubieran hecho dual clutch seria muy contemporáneo..en fin el LFA es una joya a lo old school una de las últimas..saludos desde py🇵🇾🍺🌱
On sound alone im taking the Carerra everytime. On thrill/enjoyment… as long as the GT has new great tires im still taking it😂
Should have used manual shifting for the LFA
LFA for me
Why keep drag racing? Where is the left and right turn? Lfa would own both of those cars.
The Carrera GT is simply the BEST package – in performance as in beauty. 😍😍😍
lfa 👑
I'm kinda missing the TT RS and the R8 (not the RWD version) in this comparison
Even though the Lfa is not as loud it sounds better
Give me thr Lfa!!!
Lol you ruined the finale with your "Ahhh!!" 😂
Cammisa is quite literally the best car YouTuber ever and the videos are incredibly rewatchable
The LFA was not build to drag, it was built to race (with corners and all). I can't believe some people base their opinions on drag racing.
Think they should’ve included a Viper ACR and Huracan in another 10 cylinder race. You know, because science…
love that carrera gt and the audi 200 is nice too. marco degenhardt would love this video.
