Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193

The Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 reaches 60 mph in 7.93 s (100 km/h in 8.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.24 s, tripping the lights at 85.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s and the eighth mile in 10.49 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 C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193

The 1999 Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 is a front-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,597 kg with 190 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 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 6,368th quickest to 60 mph, and the 129th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 85.6 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 C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 0-60 time?
The Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 reaches 60 mph in 7.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,368th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 quarter mile time?
16.24 s at 85.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.49 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 have?
190 bhp and 1,597 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193?
Closest here on pace: Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 (8.00 s), Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 JTS 185 (8.01 s), Renault Megane Coupe - Cabrio 2.0 16V Turbo 163 (7.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 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 C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 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.
