Mario Kapeller owns a 7-second capable Audi S3. Last year Mario attended the Campionatul National de DragRacing 2025 in Arad, Romania and set a new personal best. Mario completed the quarter-mile in 7.925 sec and 294.79 km/h (183.1 mph). The car is built by Team HST with a turbocharged 3.0 L VR6 producing 1500 hp (1118 kW). The motor features HST’s billet block, forged internals, and large Garrett G55 turbocharger. A Kotouc 0A6 seven-speed sequential transmission and upgraded 4WD drivetrain transmits the power to four slicks. M5Phenomenon captured the 7-second run in the video below.
