Audi A6 4.2 quattro

The Audi A6 4.2 quattro reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.26 s, tripping the lights at 98.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.31 s and the eighth mile in 9.22 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 A6 4.2 quattro

The 2007 Audi A6 4.2 quattro is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,880 kg with 330 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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,809th quickest to 60 mph, and the 172nd quickest of the 261 Audis here. Its 98.8 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.

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 4.2 quattro 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 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
