About the V70 2.4 D4 181

The 2007 Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,872 kg with 178 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.52 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 7,360th quickest to 60 mph, and the 171st quickest of the 386 Volvos here. Its 83.6 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 D4 181 0-60 time?
The Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181 reaches 60 mph in 8.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,360th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181 quarter mile time?
16.50 s at 83.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.56 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181 have?
178 bhp and 1,872 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181?
Closest here on pace: Renault Fluence 1.6 dCI 130 (8.41 s), Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDm 16V 150 (8.49 s), SEAT Exeo 1.8 TSI 150 (8.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Volvo V70 2.4 D4 181 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 D4 181 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.
