About the A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220

The 2003 Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,940 kg with 217 bhp, which works out at 112 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.59 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 4,928th quickest to 60 mph, and the 619th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 91.7 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 A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 0-60 time?
The Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 reaches 60 mph in 7.14 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,928th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 quarter mile time?
15.51 s at 91.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 have?
217 bhp and 1,940 kg, which is 112 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 241 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220?
Closest here on pace: BMW 3 Series Sedan (F30) LCI 320d EfficientDynamics 163 (7.16 s), VW Passat Alltrack 2.0 TDI 4MOTION 190 (7.13 s), Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 200 184 Auto (7.12 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 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 A8 (D3) 3.0 V6 quattro 220 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.
