Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A1 1.6 TDI is the quicker car,
covering it in 17.27 s at
80.3 mph against the Fiat 500 1.2 69’s
18.74 s — a margin of
1.47 s. To 60 mph the Audi A1 1.6 TDI takes
9.61 s and the Fiat 500 1.2 69
11.69 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
9/9 for the Audi A1 1.6 TDI,
2/2 for the Fiat 500 1.2 69 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi A1 1.6 TDI or the Fiat 500 1.2 69 faster?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 17.27 s to the Fiat 500 1.2 69's 18.74 s, a margin of 1.47 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s against 11.69 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 Fiat 500 1.2 69 0-60 time?
The Fiat 500 1.2 69 reaches 60 mph in 11.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.74 s at 74.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A1 1.6 TDI trips the lights at 80.3 mph and the Fiat 500 1.2 69 at 74.2 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 2 of 2 for the Fiat 500 1.2 69. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
