Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150

The Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.51 s (100 km/h in 9.10 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.60 s, tripping the lights at 82.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s and the eighth mile in 10.66 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 C30 2.0 D3 150

The 2009 Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,450 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.57 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 7,525th quickest to 60 mph, and the 177th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 82.6 mph at the lights is only the 8,563rd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 0-60 time?
The Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.51 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,525th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 quarter mile time?
16.60 s at 82.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 have?
148 bhp and 1,450 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.6 JTDm 120 (8.51 s), Ford Focus 4dr 2.0 TDCi 136 (8.48 s), Renault Megane TCe 140 (Mk4) (8.49 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 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 Volvo C30 2.0 D3 150 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.
