What is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI 0-60 time?

The Audi A1 1.6 TDI reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,489th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI quarter mile time?

17.27 s at 80.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.14 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Audi A1 1.6 TDI have?

103 bhp and 1,140 kg, which is 91 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Audi A1 1.6 TDI?

Closest here on pace: Hyundai Elantra 4dr 1.6 CRDi 115 (9.58 s), Fiat Brava 1.9 JTD 105 (9.60 s), Datsun on-Do 1.6 106 (9.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A1 1.6 TDI 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 A1 1.6 TDI is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Audi A1 1.6 TDI

The Audi A1 1.6 TDI reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s (100 km/h in 10.20 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.27 s, tripping the lights at 80.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s and the eighth mile in 11.14 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 A1 1.6 TDI

The 2010 Audi A1 1.6 TDI is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,140 kg with 103 bhp, which works out at 91 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.73 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 9,489th quickest to 60 mph, and the 1,142nd quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 80.3 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.
