Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi S5 B10 is the quicker car,
covering it in 12.57 s at
107.7 mph against the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II’s
14.15 s — a margin of
1.58 s. To 60 mph the Audi S5 B10 takes
3.98 s and the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II
5.51 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 —
9/10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II,
9/10 for the Audi S5 B10 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II or the Audi S5 B10 faster?
The Audi S5 B10. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.57 s to the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II's 14.15 s, a margin of 1.58 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.98 s against 5.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II reaches 60 mph in 5.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.15 s at 96.6 mph.
What is the Audi S5 B10 0-60 time?
The Audi S5 B10 reaches 60 mph in 3.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.57 s at 107.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II trips the lights at 96.6 mph and the Audi S5 B10 at 107.7 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 — 9 of 10 for the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI quattro Mk II and 9 of 10 for the Audi S5 B10. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
