What is the top speed of an Audi?
2 Answers
The top speed of an Audi is 250 kilometers per hour, but the maximum speed limit on domestic highways in China is 120 kilometers per hour, so the vehicle's maximum design speed is only an indicator of its performance. Maximum Speed: Refers to the maximum driving speed that a car can achieve under windless conditions on a level, good-quality asphalt or concrete road surface. The maximum speed provided here is data from the manufacturer, for reference only, and does not represent PCauto's actual test data. Testing Method for Maximum Speed: The last 500 meters of a 1.6-kilometer test section are used as the testing area for maximum speed, with four round trips conducted to obtain an average value. The maximum speed differs from the theoretical maximum speed (which refers to the best performance the engine can achieve under optimal conditions, limited to theory). For some high-performance cars, manufacturers often use technical measures (such as electronic speed limiters) to restrict the vehicle's top speed to protect the engine or comply with traffic regulations. For example, the Mercedes S600, when the electronic speed limiter is removed, can exceed the limited 250 km/h and reach 300 km/h or even higher.
Last time I drove my friend's Audi A6 on the highway, the regular version's top speed was around 230 km/h. It depends on the specific model and engine, the entry-level A3 can probably reach about 210 km/h. However, there's no need to push it to the limit in actual driving—it's not only fuel-consuming but also dangerous. Those who've driven over 200 km/h know the wind noise becomes quite extreme, though the body remains very stable—German cars really have solid chassis. If the ECU has been tuned or you get the S-Line performance version, the numbers can go even higher. By the way, tire specifications also affect the top speed limit—it's recommended to switch to summer performance tires.
