$1,900 Underdog Audi A3 Sleeper Fights Supercars in Thrilling 1/4-Mile Drag Race

To make things interesting, the only car with mods is the Audi A3 sleeper. The supercars all have bone-dry stock trims with no signs of hammer marks or any other kind of tampering under the hoods.

First in line is the 394 hp or 400 PS Lotus Emira running on a 3.5-liter V6 engine that means business. It's not the fastest car here, but it has been known to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour or 97 kph in just 4.3 seconds. It might have a thing or two to say before it sees the checkered flag, but sadly, it won't get there.

Next, a wild lime-colored McLaren 570S appears out of the blue with its famous 3.8-liter turbocharged V8 powerplant capable of generating 562 horsepower or 570 PS and 443 lb-ft or 601 Nm of twist.

This thing doesn't just look menacing; it's built for cornering and speed alike, able to hit 62 mph or 100 kph in 3.2 ticks on the clock while maxing out at 204 miles or 328 kilometers per hour. McLarens aren't known for messing about and can defeat opponents way above their pay grade.

Next, we have a bittersweet model: the Audi R10 V10 Plus, the only all-wheel-drive supercar in this lot. This monster cages a dangerous and superb 5.2-liter V10 engine with 602 hp (610 PS) and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. It can hit 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and max out at 204 mph at 328 kph.

Last on the supercar list but certainly not least, the RWD Lamborghini Huracan STO is the most powerful stock nameplate from the entire gang. It's hiding an astounding 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine that can generate 631 hp or 640 PS with 417 lb-ft or 565 Nm of torque.

When it gets really mad, it tends to use its 7-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox to flash from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.0 seconds while boasting a top speed of 193 mph or 311 kilometers per hour. The sound it makes is as impressive as its performance.

To challenge them all, Jamie from the Officially Gassed YouTube channel drives an Audi A3 with more than a few surprises under the hood. This inconspicuous two-door minion has a highly modified 3.2-liter engine that can output 690 hp or 700 PS.

Among its plethora of mods, we count a Vara Technik forged engine and custom turbo kit, a Pulsar GTX3582RS Turbo, intercooler/boost pipes, a custom exhaust, methanol injection, and many, many more.

Before the lights turn green, we have some arguably more important stats than the performance figures: the prices! The Lotus cost the equivalent of $75,464, the McLaren was $94,330, the R8 cost nearly 81,752 US dollars, and the Lambo came in at $327,000.

The scrapyard Audi A3 was the cheapest by far, costing only 1,500 GBP (Great Britain Pounds) or the equivalent of $1,886. In all fairness, the mods cost an extra 14,000 quid or $17,600, making the total 15,500 GBP or 19,495 US dollars. It's still almost 17 times cheaper than the Huracan.

Confident it won't break down in pieces after one race, the Audi A3 gave it all from the start. But that only lasted a few seconds until the purebred Huracan STO got its act together and flashed across the finish line.

The R8 was second, the A3 third, and the McLaren in last place. If you're wondering about the Lotus, it backed out after losing to the A3 in a previous roll race. It's disappointing, but what can you do? The boys then gathered for one last try.

This time, the Audi R8 won, with the Lambo in second place, the Audi in third, and the 570S in fourth. The Audi finished the 1/4-mile in 10.86 seconds, securing the fastest time. The STO was the second-fastest with 10.93 on the clock. The Audi A3 sleeper did it in a respectable 11.16 seconds, while the McLaren 570S scored 11.40 ticks.

If we're talking 0 to 60 mph times, the Audi got there first in 3.07 seconds. The Lamborghini Huracan STO did it in 3.22 seconds. Jamie's scrapyard underdog hit 60 mph in 3.33 ticks, and lastly, the exotic 570S was in last place, scoring 3.71 seconds.
