VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280

The VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 reaches 60 mph in 5.77 s (100 km/h in 6.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.30 s, tripping the lights at 98.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.25 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 CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280

The 2012 VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,748 kg with 276 bhp, which works out at 158 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.32 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 2,986th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 54th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 98.7 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 VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 0-60 time?
The VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 reaches 60 mph in 5.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,986th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 quarter mile time?
14.30 s at 98.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 have?
276 bhp and 1,748 kg, which is 158 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 249 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280?
Closest here on pace: Skoda Octavia RS Combi 5E (5.76 s), Skoda Octavia RS 230 5E (5.83 s), Cadillac STS (5.79 s). Each one can be raced against the VW CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 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 CC 3.6 V6 4Motion 280 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.
