The 2018 Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Engineered is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged saloon of 2,010 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 199 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.92 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,975th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 10th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 101.7 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 10 of 10 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.
