It's a rivalry stretching back decades. Over the years these two brands have produced some legendary sportcars. But these two vehicles represent a new era: the 2017 Audi RS3 is the most powerful RS3 ever built, and the BMW M2 is the first M2 - ever.

Of course, there are some key differences. The BMW is very much rear-wheel-drive while the Audi, true to its roots, is a quattro. A difference which really came into play as on the day we filmed, the heavens opened and our epic secret road was properly slippery.

The RS3 produces its close-on 400hp figure using a 5-cylinder turbo motor, whereas the BMW, true to its roots, features a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight six. And while most BMW M2s will likely be ordered with a dual-clutch auto, the example that we tracked down was a manual - a rarity indeed.
