About the A3 3.2 quattro 8P

The 2003 Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,495 kg with 247 bhp, which works out at 165 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.30 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 3,440th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 393rd quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 97.9 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 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P 0-60 time?

The Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P reaches 60 mph in 6.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,440th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P quarter mile time?

14.53 s at 97.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.40 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P have?

247 bhp and 1,495 kg, which is 165 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P?

Closest here on pace: Lexus ES 350 276 (6.16 s), Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 (6.03 s), Subaru Legacy 3.0 R Spec.B 265 (6.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A3 3.2 quattro 8P 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 A3 3.2 quattro 8P is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
