Audi A1 1.6 TDI vs Audi A4 2.0T S-line

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A4 2.0T S-line is the quicker car, covering it in 14.88 s at 95.8 mph against the Audi A1 1.6 TDI’s 17.27 s — a margin of 2.39 s. To 60 mph the Audi A4 2.0T S-line takes 6.44 s and the Audi A1 1.6 TDI 9.61 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI or the Audi A4 2.0T S-line faster?
The Audi A4 2.0T S-line. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.88 s to the Audi A1 1.6 TDI's 17.27 s, a margin of 2.39 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.44 s against 9.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI 0-60 time?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.27 s at 80.3 mph.
What is the Audi A4 2.0T S-line 0-60 time?
The Audi A4 2.0T S-line reaches 60 mph in 6.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.88 s at 95.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI trips the lights at 80.3 mph and the Audi A4 2.0T S-line at 95.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 9 of 9 for the Audi A1 1.6 TDI and 9 of 9 for the Audi A4 2.0T S-line. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
