Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
9/10 for the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift,
9/10 for the Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift or the Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift faster?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.77 s to the Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift's 11.91 s, a margin of 0.14 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.35 s against 3.47 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 RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift 0-60 time?
The Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift reaches 60 mph in 3.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.91 s at 116.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift trips the lights at 117.1 mph and the Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift at 116.2 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 10 for the Audi RS3 Sportback 8Y Facelift. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
