What is the Audi S8 D4 0-60 time?

The Audi S8 D4 reaches 60 mph in 3.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 974th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Audi S8 D4 quarter mile time?

12.04 s at 118.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Audi S8 D4 have?

512 bhp and 1,975 kg, which is 259 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, 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 S8 D4?

Closest here on pace: Alpina B6 Biturbo (3.93 s), Polestar 1 (3.88 s), Jaguar XKR-S 550 PS (3.89 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi S8 D4 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 S8 D4 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.

Audi S8 D4

The Audi S8 D4 reaches 60 mph in 3.91 s (100 km/h in 4.07 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.04 s, tripping the lights at 118.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.80 s and the eighth mile in 7.80 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.59 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 S8 D4

The 2012 Audi S8 D4 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,975 kg with 512 bhp, which works out at 259 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.80 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 974th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 75th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 118.4 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 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.
