Volvo S60 2.4 140

The Volvo S60 2.4 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.00 s (100 km/h in 10.60 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.68 s, tripping the lights at 81.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.14 s and the eighth mile in 11.65 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 2.4 140

The 2008 Volvo S60 2.4 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,595 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 87 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.14 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 10,142nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 296th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.9 mph, the 8,999th 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 Volvo S60 2.4 140 0-60 time?
The Volvo S60 2.4 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,142nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo S60 2.4 140 quarter mile time?
17.68 s at 81.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.65 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo S60 2.4 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,595 kg, which is 87 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 S60 2.4 140?
Closest here on pace: Daewoo Espero 1.8 95 (10.02 s), Citroen CX 2.4 115 (10.02 s), Saab 9-3 SportCombi 1.9 TTiD 130 (10.00 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo S60 2.4 140 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 2.4 140 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
