Volvo S90 D4

The Volvo S90 D4 reaches 60 mph in 7.45 s (100 km/h in 7.80 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.70 s, tripping the lights at 93.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.42 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the S90 D4

The 2016 Volvo S90 D4 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,733 kg with 188 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 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 5,467th quickest to 60 mph, and the 96th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 93.7 mph, the 4,049th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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.

Questions

What is the Volvo S90 D4 0-60 time?
The Volvo S90 D4 reaches 60 mph in 7.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,467th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo S90 D4 quarter mile time?
15.70 s at 93.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.42 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo S90 D4 have?
188 bhp and 1,733 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo S90 D4?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 2.0 TDI 177 (7.44 s), Lexus IS 300h (7.43 s), VW CC 2.0 TDI 4Motion 177 (7.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo S90 D4 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 S90 D4 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
