2026 Audi RS3• 2026 Mercedes-AMG CLA45 S Final Edition• Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
We lined them up for:• Best of 3 1/2 mile drag races• 1/4 mile roll race from 50 km/h
This is a true head to head: raw turbo power vs AMG engineering vs instant electric torque. If you’re comparing RS3 vs CLA45s Final Edition, CLA45s Final Edition vs Ioniq 5 N, or wondering how EV performance stacks up against high strung ICE monsters… this is the one.
But the real story?It starts AFTER the races were supposed to end…
Out of nowhere, The Chinooks shows up and this time, they didn’t come to play.
They brought 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Performance and STAGE 4 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
• COBB Pro Tune from Stratified (ECU + PDK)• Tial 660 hybrid turbos• BMC air filter• Evoms diverter valves• Velocity Automotive sport cats w/ remote exhaust valve controller
What started as a 3-car comparison instantly turns into a full-blown ambush.
• Can the RS3 hold off a fully built 911?• Does the CLA45s Final Edition live up to the hype?• Can the Ioniq 5 N’s instant torque shock them all?• And what happens when hybrid AMG power enters the fight?
Special thanks to: Mercedes-Benz Canada, Glenmore Audi and Calgary Hyundai.
