Big Turbo Throwdown – Honda Civic Hatch vs. Audi TTRS

July 28th, 2023

We are taking it back to the streets for this insane matchup between a pair of big turbo imports. On the agenda is roll racing on the interstate (in Mexico). The action will start at 50 mph and end at 150 mph. These wheels were made round to roll.

On the right is the feisty Honda Civic Hatchback built by Frustrate EG. This thing is running a built K24 motor with a giant turbo – and it’s all-wheel drive. Competition beware.

In the left lane is an Audi TT RS. This turbocharged Audi is equipped with a 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Like the Honda, the TT RS is also all-wheel drive. Spoiler alert: the turbo on the Audi has been upgraded and the engine and transmission are fortified. It should be quick.

The cars roll onto the interstate in the cool night air. They cruise alongside one another and a call rings out, “3-2-1”. Both vehicles lunge forward in maximum acceleration. The Audi takes an early advantage, but the Honda is closing fast. Which car will reach 150 mph first?
