VW Arteon R

The VW Arteon R reaches 60 mph in 4.66 s (100 km/h in 4.92 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.18 s, tripping the lights at 104.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s and the eighth mile in 8.44 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.92 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 Arteon R

The 2020 VW Arteon R is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,830 kg with 315 bhp, which works out at 172 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.98 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 1,799th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 13th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 104.8 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.

Questions

What is the VW Arteon R 0-60 time?
The VW Arteon R reaches 60 mph in 4.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,799th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Arteon R quarter mile time?
13.18 s at 104.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.44 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Arteon R have?
315 bhp and 1,830 kg, which is 172 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 270 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Arteon R?
Closest here on pace: Porsche Panamera MK III (4.81 s), Kia Stinger GT AWD (4.77 s), Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Quattro (4.68 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Arteon R 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 VW Arteon R 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.
