Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 vs Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.08 s at
93.3 mph against the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240’s
15.62 s — a margin of
0.54 s. To 60 mph the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R takes
6.58 s and the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240
7.19 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.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240,
9/9 for the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 or the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R faster?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.08 s to the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240's 15.62 s, a margin of 0.54 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.58 s against 7.19 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 reaches 60 mph in 7.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.62 s at 85.5 mph.
What is the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R 0-60 time?
The Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R reaches 60 mph in 6.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.08 s at 93.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 trips the lights at 85.5 mph and the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R at 93.3 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 — 2 of 2 for the Land Rover Discovery 2.0 SD4 240 and 9 of 9 for the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI quattro 8R. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
