Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) vs Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) is the quicker car, covering it in 16.58 s at 84.0 mph against the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008)’s 18.09 s — a margin of 1.51 s. To 60 mph the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) takes 8.41 s and the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) 10.76 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 A3 1.6 102 (2008) or the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) faster?
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.58 s to the Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008)'s 18.09 s, a margin of 1.51 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s against 10.76 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 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) 0-60 time?
The Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) reaches 60 mph in 8.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.58 s at 84.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A3 1.6 102 (2008) trips the lights at 78.4 mph and the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2) at 84.0 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 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk2). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
