About the A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204

The 2010 Audi A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010) is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,870 kg with 204 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.18 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 4,817th quickest to 60 mph, and the 595th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 88.6 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.

What is the Audi A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010) quarter mile time?
15.39 s at 88.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.18 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010) have?
204 bhp and 1,870 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010)?
Closest here on pace: BMW 5 Series (F10) LCI 520d xDrive 190 (7.08 s), Volvo S90 2.0 T4 190 (7.05 s), Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 (7.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi A8 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010) 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 (D4) 3.0 V6 TDI quattro 204 (2010) 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.
