Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174

The Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 reaches 60 mph in 7.09 s (100 km/h in 7.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.67 s, tripping the lights at 91.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s and the eighth mile in 10.27 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174

The 1991 Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 is a front-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,413 kg with 172 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.68 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,833rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 600th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 91.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 reaches 60 mph in 7.09 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,833rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 quarter mile time?
15.67 s at 91.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.27 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 have?
172 bhp and 1,413 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174?
Closest here on pace: VW Golf VII GTD Variant 2.0 TDI 184 DCT (7.10 s), Chrysler 300C Touring 3.0 CRD 215 (7.10 s), Volkswagen Passat Estate 2.0 TDI 190 (B8) (7.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 174 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
