Questions

Is the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R or the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 faster?
The Audi A5 3.2 8T3. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 14.22 s to the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R's 15.08 s, a margin of 0.85 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.68 s against 6.58 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R reaches 60 mph in 6.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.08 s at 93.3 mph.
What is the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 0-60 time?
The Audi A5 3.2 8T3 reaches 60 mph in 5.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 14.22 s at 99.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R trips the lights at 93.3 mph and the Audi A5 3.2 8T3 at 99.0 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 9 for the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R and 10 of 10 for the Audi A5 3.2 8T3. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
