The A4 is "handicapped" by the extra weight and extra power losses of Quattro. But seriously, who buys such cars based on 0-60 times? And why waste so much money in the first plae if all you are after are 0-60mph times?

Audi has always lagged in the HP race.

You sacrifice some performance for excellent aesthetics.

I just wish I could take the N54 335i engine and dump it into an A5. Now THAT would be a beast.
