What is the 0-100km/h acceleration time for the Audi A8?
2 Answers
Audi A8 acceleration time ranges from 9.6 to 4.7 seconds (0-100km/h). Definition of 0-100km/h acceleration: 0-100km/h acceleration refers to the time taken to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100km/h acceleration in 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T midsize cars in 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly achieve it in less than 3.8 seconds. Influencing factors: Mainly the engine. Generally speaking, given the same vehicle weight, the greater the engine's maximum torque, the better the car's acceleration performance.
I've been driving an Audi A8 for several years, and the acceleration differences between various engine versions are quite significant. The entry-level 50TFSI with a 3.0T six-cylinder engine does 0-100 km/h in about 5.6 seconds. Step up to the 55TFSI with more aggressive engine tuning, and it breaks the 100 km/h mark in under 5 seconds. The most extreme is the S8, equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo that achieves 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds based on actual tests. While most A8 buyers prioritize ride comfort, this car strikes an excellent balance between sportiness and luxury - you can feel the thrust when overtaking with just a light tap on the accelerator, and the quattro system provides exceptional grip. For those pursuing ultimate acceleration, an ECU remap could shave off another half second, though the stock performance is already more than adequate.
