What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Audi S3?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Audi S3's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 4.8 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Audi S3 has a maximum torque of 380 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Audi S3 is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Audi S3 has a power-to-weight ratio of 196 Hp/T, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
I drove my friend's Audi S3, and the acceleration was absolutely insane. Officially, it claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 4.8 seconds. When I floored the pedal, it felt like I was being pressed into the seat, and the tire grip was exceptionally strong. The car uses a 2.0T engine and quattro all-wheel drive, so there's absolutely no wheel spin at launch. Overtaking on the highway is a breeze—just a tap on the gas and you zoom past. You might not need this much power for daily driving, but it's a great stress reliever when you want to have some fun occasionally. Just a reminder though, safety first—especially avoid reckless driving on rainy days.
