Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift vs Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II is the quicker car, covering it in 10.96 s at 130.9 mph against the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift’s 11.77 s — a margin of 0.81 s. To 60 mph the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II takes 3.11 s and the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift 3.35 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 RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift or the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II faster?
The Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.96 s to the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift's 11.77 s, a margin of 0.81 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.11 s against 3.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift 0-60 time?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift reaches 60 mph in 3.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.77 s at 117.1 mph.
What is the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II 0-60 time?
The Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II reaches 60 mph in 3.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.96 s at 130.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift trips the lights at 117.1 mph and the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II at 130.9 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 RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift and 9 of 11 for the Audi R8 GT RWD Mk II. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
