Is the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift or the Audi RS4 Avant B9 faster?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.77 s to the Audi RS4 Avant B9's 11.80 s, a margin of 0.02 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.35 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 RS4 Avant B9 0-60 time?
The Audi RS4 Avant B9 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 11.80 s at 116.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift trips the lights at 117.1 mph and the Audi RS4 Avant B9 at 116.5 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 — 9 of 10 for the Audi RS3 Sedan 8Y Facelift and 9 of 10 for the Audi RS4 Avant B9. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
