Off the line, the A5 Sedan hits 100 km/h in 7.79 s versus 8.16 s for the A6 Sedan. At this point, the A5 Sedan leads by 0.37 s and sits roughly 12 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A5 Sedan is doing 117 km/h against 119 km/h for the A6 Sedan. The gap is 0.41 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the A5 Sedan crosses the line in 15.74 s versus 16.06 s. The 0.32 s gap represents roughly 13 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the situation changes. Past 400 metres, both rivals hit the same electronic ceiling at 242 km/h. Neither can claw back ground through top speed — the outcome hinges on the acceleration curve between 100 and 242 km/h.
At 1,000 metres, the A6 Sedan finishes in 28.62 s versus 28.62 s. The 0.01 s delta shows an extremely tight race.
Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the A5 Sedan and the A6 Sedan are governed to 242 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold — an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.92 kg/hp vs 8.68 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 12.53 seconds. The 0.37 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
