Off the line, the A3 allstreet hits 100 km/h in 8.38 s versus 10.28 s for the Cooper One FWD. At this point, the A3 allstreet leads by 1.90 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A3 allstreet is doing 114 km/h against 109 km/h for the Cooper One FWD. The gap is 1.26 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A3 allstreet crosses the line in 16.10 s versus 17.69 s. The 1.59 s gap represents roughly 58 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A3 allstreet continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 159 km/h versus 147 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A3 allstreet finishes in 29.31 s versus 32.01 s, with a 2.70 s lead.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.57 kg/hp vs 10.44 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Manual).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 16.73 seconds. The 1.90 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, A3 allstreet wins (8,38 s vs 10,28 s).
A3 allstreet goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,38 seconds (calibrated simulation).
