Audi A6 4.2 quattro vs Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi A6 4.2 quattro is the quicker car,
covering it in 14.26 s at
98.8 mph against the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150’s
16.42 s — a margin of
2.17 s. To 60 mph the Audi A6 4.2 quattro takes
5.72 s and the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150
8.25 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 —
10/10 for the Audi A6 4.2 quattro,
2/2 for the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi A6 4.2 quattro or the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 faster?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.26 s to the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150's 16.42 s, a margin of 2.17 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s against 8.25 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 Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 0-60 time?
The Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.42 s at 83.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro trips the lights at 98.8 mph and the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 at 83.6 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 2 of 2 for the Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
