What do the Ford Focus RS and Audi SQ7 have in common? Nothing. Except for one thing, two go… but we'll be right there.
The two players seem to be completely opposite to each other. There are 350 hp from the Focus RS against 435 hp from the SQ7. A gasoline against a diesel. A manual cashier against an automatic cashier. A sports car against one of the biggest SUVs on the market.
So why join them in this duel?
Because despite everything, the two protagonists of this duel announce very similar values from 0-100 km/h. 4.7 seconds for the Ford Focus RS, against 4.8 seconds for the Audi SQ7. The other similarity? All-wheel drive!
While the Ford Focus RS has the upper hand in the balance, the Audi SQ7 has the upper hand in terms of power thanks to the famous bi-turbo V8 TDI, equipped with an ingenious electric volumetric compressor.

With this in mind, the comparison starts to make some sense. Even if it is because of the millenary human tendency to measure forces (not to write anything else…). Take the recent example of Trump, President of the USA, and Kim Jong-un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea), in disdain for the size of their “buttons”.
