The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the A110 S 292 hits 100 km/h in 3.93 s versus 7.79 s for the A5 Sedan. At this point, the A110 S 292 leads by 3.86 s and sits roughly 22 m ahead.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the A110 S 292 is doing 154 km/h against 117 km/h for the A5 Sedan. The gap is 2.38 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.

At 400 metres standing start, the A110 S 292 crosses the line in 12.08 s versus 15.74 s. The 3.65 s gap represents roughly 139 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, the A110 S 292 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 210 km/h versus 162 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A110 S 292 finishes in 22.15 s versus 28.62 s, with a 6.47 s lead.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Electronically capped at 242 km/h, the A5 Sedan never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.

With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (3.76 kg/hp vs 8.92 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.41 seconds. The 3.86 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
