Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163

The Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s (100 km/h in 8.91 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.43 s, tripping the lights at 84.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s and the eighth mile in 10.62 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 2.4 D5 163

The 2006 Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,479 kg with 161 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.70 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 6,904th quickest to 60 mph, and the 151st quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 84.6 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 Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 0-60 time?
The Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 reaches 60 mph in 8.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,904th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 quarter mile time?
16.43 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 have?
161 bhp and 1,479 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 147 (3dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 140 (8.22 s), Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TS (8.20 s), Ford Mondeo Hatchback 1.5 EcoBoost 160 Auto (8.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo C30 2.4 D5 163 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 2.4 D5 163 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.
