Audi A5 3.2 8T3

The Audi A5 3.2 8T3 reaches 60 mph in 5.68 s (100 km/h in 6.01 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.22 s, tripping the lights at 99.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s and the eighth mile in 9.20 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 A5 3.2 8T3

The 2007 Audi A5 3.2 8T3 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,495 kg with 261 bhp, which works out at 175 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.31 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 2,887th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 329th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 99.0 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 10 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 0-60 time?
The Audi A5 3.2 8T3 reaches 60 mph in 5.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,887th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 quarter mile time?
14.22 s at 99.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.20 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 have?
261 bhp and 1,495 kg, which is 175 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 A5 3.2 8T3?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Avenger 3.6 V6 287 (5.69 s), Nissan Maxima 3.5 CVT 290 (5.64 s), Volvo S60 T6 (5.74 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 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 A5 3.2 8T3 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 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.
