Audi A6 4.2 quattro vs Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro is the quicker car, covering it in 13.24 s at 106.7 mph against the Audi A6 4.2 quattro’s 14.26 s — a margin of 1.02 s. To 60 mph the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro takes 4.68 s and the Audi A6 4.2 quattro 5.72 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 A6 4.2 quattro or the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro faster?
The Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.24 s to the Audi A6 4.2 quattro's 14.26 s, a margin of 1.02 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.68 s against 5.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi A6 4.2 quattro 0-60 time?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.26 s at 98.8 mph.
What is the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro 0-60 time?
The Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro reaches 60 mph in 4.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.24 s at 106.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro trips the lights at 98.8 mph and the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro at 106.7 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 — 10 of 10 for the Audi A6 4.2 quattro and 8 of 10 for the Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
