Audi S3 Sportback vs Kia Stinger GT AWD

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Kia Stinger GT AWD is the quicker car, covering it in 13.28 s at 104.5 mph against the Audi S3 Sportback’s 13.79 s — a margin of 0.51 s. To 60 mph the Kia Stinger GT AWD takes 4.77 s and the Audi S3 Sportback 5.25 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 S3 Sportback or the Kia Stinger GT AWD faster?
The Kia Stinger GT AWD. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.28 s to the Audi S3 Sportback's 13.79 s, a margin of 0.51 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s against 5.25 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Audi S3 Sportback 0-60 time?
The Audi S3 Sportback reaches 60 mph in 5.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.79 s at 101.5 mph.
What is the Kia Stinger GT AWD 0-60 time?
The Kia Stinger GT AWD reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.28 s at 104.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Audi S3 Sportback trips the lights at 101.5 mph and the Kia Stinger GT AWD at 104.5 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 S3 Sportback and 10 of 10 for the Kia Stinger GT AWD. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
