<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/">Audi</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> have long been enemies on both the road and the track, with their respective M and S/RS lines duking it out to the delight of auto enthusiasts everywhere. In this video from <em>Evo</em>, two of the rivalry's newest combatants take to the track - the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/audi/s3/">Audi S3</a> and the BMW <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+m135i/">M135i</a>.<br />
<br />
The new Audi S3, which is finally coming to America, throws down with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque are deployed to a Quattro all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, allowing the five-door Audi to scamper to 60 in under five seconds.<br />
<br />
The BMW, which Americans will know as a long-roof version of the new M235i Coupe, comes to the track with 320 ponies and 331 lb-ft of torque. That's a good bit more than the Audi, but the M135i has only two wheels to send its power to, an eight-speed single-clutch automatic (a six-speed manual is available) and a slightly higher curb weight.<br />
