Can the all-new 2025 Audi S5 Sportback beat a BMW M340i and AMG C43 in a drag race? CarWow’s Mat Watson and friends wanted to find out, so they pit all three sports sedans against each other in a drag racing showdown.
First up, the S5 Sportback draws power from a turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine making 367 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Next, the BMW M340i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engine, paired with a 48-volt hybrid system, that generate a combined 382 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Last, but not least, we have the AMG C43, which comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine producing 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Anyone who’s driven a latest M340i (as well as having driven an older one) will tell you it’s take up is sharper than the pre 2023 cars, seems to be using the mild hybrid to torque fill a bit (only thing I can make sense of),” said one fan.
