Audi RS4 B7 vs Audi S4 B5

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi RS4 B7 is the quicker car, covering it in 12.86 s at 108.7 mph against the Audi S4 B5’s 14.12 s — a margin of 1.27 s. To 60 mph the Audi RS4 B7 takes 4.54 s and the Audi S4 B5 5.68 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 RS4 B7 or the Audi S4 B5 faster?
The Audi RS4 B7. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 12.86 s to the Audi S4 B5's 14.12 s, a margin of 1.27 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s against 5.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi RS4 B7 0-60 time?
The Audi RS4 B7 reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.86 s at 108.7 mph.
What is the Audi S4 B5 0-60 time?
The Audi S4 B5 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 14.12 s at 97.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi RS4 B7 trips the lights at 108.7 mph and the Audi S4 B5 at 97.6 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 — 10 of 10 for the Audi RS4 B7 and 10 of 10 for the Audi S4 B5. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
