Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004)

The Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) reaches 60 mph in 7.93 s (100 km/h in 8.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.28 s, tripping the lights at 88.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s and the eighth mile in 10.72 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 2.4 170

The 2004 Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,440 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.85 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 6,381st quickest to 60 mph, and the 130th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 88.3 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 2.4 170 (2004) 0-60 time?
The Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) reaches 60 mph in 7.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,381st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) quarter mile time?
16.28 s at 88.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) have?
168 bhp and 1,440 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 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 2.4 170 (2004)?
Closest here on pace: Holden Statesman 3.8 V6 200 (7.95 s), Ford Mondeo Sedan 2.5 V6 170 (2000) (7.93 s), Saab 9-5 3.0 TiD 176 (7.95 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo S60 2.4 170 (2004) 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 2.4 170 (2004) 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.
