Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180

The Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 reaches 60 mph in 8.11 s (100 km/h in 8.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.28 s, tripping the lights at 85.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.57 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 S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180

The 2013 Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,487 kg with 177 bhp, which works out at 119 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 6,743rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 142nd quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 85.8 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 S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 0-60 time?
The Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 reaches 60 mph in 8.11 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,743rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 quarter mile time?
16.28 s at 85.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.49 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 S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 have?
177 bhp and 1,487 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac CTS 2.8 V6 211 (8.12 s), Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.6 Turbo 180 (8.07 s), Opel Vectra GTS 3.0 V6 CDTI 184 (8.08 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 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 S60 1.6 FlexiFuel 180 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.
