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 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,935th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 334th quickest of the 1320 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.

Questions

What is the Audi A6 4.2 quattro 0-60 time?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,935th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A6 4.2 quattro quarter mile time?
14.26 s at 98.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.22 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 A6 4.2 quattro have?
330 bhp and 1,880 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 A6 4.2 quattro?
Closest here on pace: Infiniti QX50 3.7 V6 334 (5.73 s), Infiniti EX 3.7 V6 320 (5.73 s), Volvo S60 T6 (5.74 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A6 4.2 quattro 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 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 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
