Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174

The Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 reaches 60 mph in 8.72 s (100 km/h in 9.15 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.81 s, tripping the lights at 88.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s and the eighth mile in 11.22 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 quattro 174

The 1991 Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated estate of 1,550 kg with 172 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.97 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,903rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 1,016th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 88.6 mph, the 5,671st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 reaches 60 mph in 8.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,903rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 quarter mile time?
16.81 s at 88.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 174 have?
172 bhp and 1,550 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 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 quattro 174?
Closest here on pace: Volvo V70 D5 wagon (8.77 s), Opel Vectra Caravan 2.2 16V DGI 155 (2005) (8.73 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Wagon 2.0 SKYACTIV-G 145 (2015) (8.72 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi 100 Avant (C4) 2.8 V6 quattro 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 quattro 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.
