Off the line, the RS6 Performance Avant hits 100 km/h in 3.46 s versus 3.74 s for the F-TYPE R P575. At this point, the RS6 Performance Avant leads by 0.28 s and sits roughly 5 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the RS6 Performance Avant is doing 165 km/h against 165 km/h for the F-TYPE R P575. The gap is 0.21 s. The gap remains stable from the start.
At 400 metres standing start, the RS6 Performance Avant crosses the line in 11.30 s versus 11.52 s. The 0.22 s gap represents roughly 12 m of track - two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the RS6 Performance Avant continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 231 km/h versus 230 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the RS6 Performance Avant finishes in 20.37 s versus 20.70 s, with a 0.33 s lead.
Electronically capped at 300 km/h, the F-TYPE R P575 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 (3.45 kg/hp vs 3.03 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 5.27 seconds. The 0.28 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, RS6 Performance Avant wins (3,46 s vs 3,74 s).
RS6 Performance Avant goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3,46 seconds (calibrated simulation).
