Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

A few things:
M3's V8 is more like a Ferrari's, while the Audi's is more like Nascar. Loved them both.

M3 better for track, better handling. Audi is more forgiving, great for everyday use.

They said they'd have both.

Love the footage, such a amazing cars.

Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

M3 lacking in drivers involvement- definitely no sign of that from the video.
The m3 seems to be quite engaging and fun to drive.
The RS4 is definitely benefiting from the Quattro technology as it has traction from all 4 wheels and easily steers into the corner, and out as well.

Nice video.

Watching that M3 slide around those corners brings a big smile to my face.

Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

This video is showing once again how very different the M & RS cars are in their nature / character.

RS: glued to the road due Quattro. Perfect traction. Easy to drive.
M: oversteer in corners due RWD. Sliding. Very engaging to drive.

I can't imagine same person enjoying both concepts. Driving the RS is like playing a video game - great excitement of having everything under control. Driving the M is a hard & engaging yet very enjoyable work.

Like two different horses: both very fast & controllable. Yet one (RS) very disciplined & easy to control, while the other is wild & you have to work hard to control him.

Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

Looking at the video one can see which car is most fun. I play Project Gotham Racing which is all about driving fast but in style by sliding through corners and having fun. That's why the M3 suits me better. The RS4 seem to be like Gran Turismo, very technical, fast but not a lot of play.

Re: French comparison: M3 V8 vs RS4

For what it's worth just about every review states that unless your driving the M3 at it's limit it's not as engaging as the RS4.
