Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204

The Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 reaches 60 mph in 7.09 s (100 km/h in 7.44 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.33 s, tripping the lights at 93.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 9.98 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 A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204

The 2012 Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,650 kg with 201 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 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 4,835th quickest to 60 mph, and the 601st quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 93.9 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 0-60 time?
The Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 reaches 60 mph in 7.09 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,835th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 quarter mile time?
15.33 s at 93.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 have?
201 bhp and 1,650 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 235 (7.04 s), Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) 350 V6 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY L 235 (7.04 s), BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo 320d 190 (7.07 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 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 A4 3.0 V6 TDI 204 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.
