Off the line, the A6 45 TFSI hits 100 km/h in 6.33 s versus 8.16 s for the Bmw 520i Touring. At this point, the A6 45 TFSI leads by 1.83 s and sits roughly 8 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the A6 45 TFSI is doing 128 km/h against 114 km/h for the Bmw 520i Touring. The gap is 0.75 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the A6 45 TFSI crosses the line in 14.54 s versus 15.95 s. The 1.41 s gap represents roughly 54 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the A6 45 TFSI continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 180 km/h versus 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the A6 45 TFSI finishes in 26.23 s versus 29.29 s, with a 3.05 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the A6 45 TFSI is capped at 247 km/h, the Bmw 520i Touring at 225 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (6.69 kg/hp vs 8.89 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.47 seconds. The 1.83 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
