The 2007 Volvo V50 2.0 D4 177 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,456 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 120 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.49 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 6,640th quickest to 60 mph, and the 138th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 86.5 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.

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.
