BMW M3 G80 vs Audi R8 LMX

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi R8 LMX is the quicker car, covering it in 11.23 s at 127.5 mph against the BMW M3 G80’s 12.20 s — a margin of 0.97 s. To 60 mph the Audi R8 LMX takes 3.11 s and the BMW M3 G80 3.96 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 BMW M3 G80 or the Audi R8 LMX faster?
The Audi R8 LMX. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 11.23 s to the BMW M3 G80's 12.20 s, a margin of 0.97 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 3.11 s against 3.96 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the BMW M3 G80 0-60 time?
The BMW M3 G80 reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 12.20 s at 117.7 mph.
What is the Audi R8 LMX 0-60 time?
The Audi R8 LMX 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 11.23 s at 127.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The BMW M3 G80 trips the lights at 117.7 mph and the Audi R8 LMX at 127.5 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 BMW M3 G80 and 8 of 11 for the Audi R8 LMX. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
