Off the line, the F-TYPE R P575 hits 100 km/h in 3.74 s versus 4.53 s for the S5 Avant. At this point, the F-TYPE R P575 leads by 0.79 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 is doing 165 km/h against 142 km/h for the S5 Avant. The gap is 0.67 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the F-TYPE R P575 crosses the line in 11.52 s versus 12.83 s. The 1.31 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 230 km/h versus 197 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the F-TYPE R P575 finishes in 20.70 s versus 23.49 s, with a 2.79 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the F-TYPE R P575 is capped at 300 km/h, the S5 Avant at 250 (i.e. 155 mph - industry threshold) 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 (3.03 kg/hp vs 5.35 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 7.09 seconds. The 0.79 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.
