Audi A6 2.4 C6

The Audi A6 2.4 C6 reaches 60 mph in 8.12 s (100 km/h in 8.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.23 s, tripping the lights at 88.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 10.53 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the A6 2.4 C6

The 2004 Audi A6 2.4 C6 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,525 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 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 6,756th quickest to 60 mph, and the 867th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 88.0 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Audi A6 2.4 C6 0-60 time?
The Audi A6 2.4 C6 reaches 60 mph in 8.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,756th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A6 2.4 C6 quarter mile time?
16.23 s at 88.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.53 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A6 2.4 C6 have?
174 bhp and 1,525 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 231 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A6 2.4 C6?
Closest here on pace: Volvo 244 2.1 Turbo 155 (8.16 s), Volvo 245 2.1 Turbo 155 (8.16 s), Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 2.0 150 (8.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A6 2.4 C6 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 A6 2.4 C6 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 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
