There are 53,407 of them on Dutch roads, built between 1998 and 2018, weighing anywhere from 1,245 to 1,815 kg. They share a name and not much else. Here is the spread.
Half of every A4 on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.
A typical A4 has more power per tonne than 83% of the 8,248,168 combustion cars in the Netherlands.
For the median version, from power, mass and body shape. A prediction, not a measurement.
The slowest in this sample makes 52.3 kW per tonne and the quickest 117.8 — a factor of 2.3 between two cars wearing the same badge. Any single number for a A4 is an average over that.

Asking the server…
Everything above describes 53,407 cars sharing a name, spanning 1998 to 2018 and 1,245–1,815 kg. Your A4 has one engine, one mass and one registration. Put the plate in and the answer is about that car rather than about the name on it.
