About the 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi

The 2008 Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,792 kg with 276 bhp, which works out at 154 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.11 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,782nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 96.5 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi reaches 60 mph in 5.60 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,782nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi quarter mile time?
14.20 s at 96.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.06 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi have?
276 bhp and 1,792 kg, which is 154 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi?
Closest here on pace: BMW 330d E90 facelift E90 (5.63 s), Bentley Azure 6.75 V8 426 (5.56 s), Bentley Azure 6.75 V8 408 (5.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi 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 Saab 9-3 2.8T Turbo X Sport Combi is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
