Cape Town - Whether we like it or not, the performance diesel is with us and here to stay.

Audi's most powerful SUV is the SQ7, powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 324kW and a staggering 900Nm! But that's not all, for the first time in a production car, Audi has fitted the SQ7 with an electric supercharger to destroy any lag.

Ford claims a 4.7sec 0-100km/h sprint time

What does all this mean? Well Audi claims a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.9 seconds... and the guys at Top Gear are pitting it against the Ford Focus RS on a drag strip. The Blue Oval's hottest hatch yet produces 257kW/440Nm from its 2.3-litre turbocharged four pot.

Check out the video below to see who wins this drag battle:
