Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000)

The Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) reaches 60 mph in 7.70 s (100 km/h in 8.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.21 s, tripping the lights at 87.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.60 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 V70 2.4 170

The 2000 Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,537 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 5,934th quickest to 60 mph, and the 120th quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 87.7 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) 0-60 time?
The Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) reaches 60 mph in 7.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,934th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) quarter mile time?
16.21 s at 87.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) have?
168 bhp and 1,537 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000)?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Camry 2.5 160 (7.70 s), Toyota Land Cruiser J200 4.6 V8 308 (7.74 s), Lancia Delta 2.0 MultiJet 165 (7.69 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo V70 2.4 170 (2000) 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 V70 2.4 170 (2000) 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.
