Any performance difference between 1.2 and 1.4 Audi A3?

Is there much difference in acceleration/performance between the 1.2 petrol and the 1.4 petrol Audi A3?

Hi F D,

There is a very, very slight difference. The A3 1.4 TFSI 125hp accelerates from 0-100km/h in 9.4 seconds, while the 1.2 TFSI 110hp does the same job in 9.9 seconds. Half a second is a lifetime in F1, but if you can actually tell the difference in the road then I'd suggest you change your name to Raikkonen and give Ferrari a ring...
