Audi A6 4.2 quattro vs Audi S6 (2019)

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi S6 (2019) is the quicker car, covering it in 12.53 s at 109.4 mph against the Audi A6 4.2 quattro’s 14.26 s — a margin of 1.73 s. To 60 mph the Audi S6 (2019) takes 4.00 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 S6 (2019) faster?
The Audi S6 (2019). Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.53 s to the Audi A6 4.2 quattro's 14.26 s, a margin of 1.73 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.00 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 S6 (2019) 0-60 time?
The Audi S6 (2019) reaches 60 mph in 4.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.53 s at 109.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro trips the lights at 98.8 mph and the Audi S6 (2019) at 109.4 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 5 of 5 for the Audi S6 (2019). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
