Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) is the quicker car,
covering it in 18.09 s at
78.4 mph against the Audi A4 1.6 102’s
18.54 s — a margin of
0.45 s. To 60 mph the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) takes
10.76 s and the Audi A4 1.6 102
11.51 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 —
2/2 for the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008),
2/2 for the Audi A4 1.6 102 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) or the Audi A4 1.6 102 faster?
The Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.09 s to the Audi A4 1.6 102's 18.54 s, a margin of 0.45 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s against 11.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) 0-60 time?
The Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.09 s at 78.4 mph.
What is the Audi A4 1.6 102 0-60 time?
The Audi A4 1.6 102 reaches 60 mph in 11.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.54 s at 77.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) trips the lights at 78.4 mph and the Audi A4 1.6 102 at 77.2 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 — 2 of 2 for the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) and 2 of 2 for the Audi A4 1.6 102. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
