Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197

The Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 reaches 60 mph in 7.39 s (100 km/h in 7.84 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.75 s, tripping the lights at 88.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.18 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the LaCrosse 2.4 197

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,705 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.49 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,341st quickest to 60 mph, and the 8th quickest of the 21 Buicks here. Its 88.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 0-60 time?
The Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 reaches 60 mph in 7.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,341st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 quarter mile time?
15.75 s at 88.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 have?
197 bhp and 1,705 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat 1.8 TSI 170 Auto (7.38 s), Audi A6 2.0 TDI 190 (C7) (7.40 s), Jaguar XF (X250) 2.7D 207 (7.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Buick LaCrosse 2.4 197 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
