About the A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180

The 2013 Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,455 kg with 178 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.07 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 3,354th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 383rd quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 93.2 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.

Questions

What is the Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 0-60 time?
The Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 reaches 60 mph in 6.09 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,354th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 quarter mile time?
14.60 s at 93.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 have?
178 bhp and 1,455 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 V6 BlueTec 4Matic 252 (6.09 s), Mercedes-Benz S-Class S350 V6 BlueTec 4Matic Long 252 (6.09 s), BMW 320d (G20) (6.14 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A3 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 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 Sedan 1.8 TFSI quattro 180 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.
