Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200

The Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 reaches 60 mph in 8.61 s (100 km/h in 9.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.72 s, tripping the lights at 89.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.00 s and the eighth mile in 11.13 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 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200

The 2001 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,655 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.00 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 7,716th quickest to 60 mph, and the 36th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 89.5 mph, the 5,350th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 reaches 60 mph in 8.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,716th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 quarter mile time?
16.72 s at 89.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.00 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 have?
197 bhp and 1,655 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Stratus 2.5 V6 170 (8.61 s), Opel Astra Twin Top 1.6 16V Turbo 180 (8.61 s), Renault Safrane 3.0 V6 24V 194 (8.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 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 9-5 SportCombi 3.0 V6 200 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.
