Audi A6 4.2 quattro vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204

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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204’s 15.15 s — a margin of 0.89 s. To 60 mph the Audi A6 4.2 quattro takes 5.72 s and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 6.77 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 faster?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.26 s to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204's 15.15 s, a margin of 0.89 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.72 s against 6.77 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 reaches 60 mph in 6.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.15 s at 92.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi A6 4.2 quattro trips the lights at 98.8 mph and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204 at 92.5 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 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 200 204. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
