About the Golf R Variant 310 PS

The 2017 VW Golf R Variant 310 PS is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged estate of 1,576 kg with 306 bhp, which works out at 194 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.97 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 1,556th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 106.2 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Golf R Variant 310 PS 0-60 time?
The VW Golf R Variant 310 PS reaches 60 mph in 4.40 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,556th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Golf R Variant 310 PS quarter mile time?
12.95 s at 106.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.31 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Golf R Variant 310 PS have?
306 bhp and 1,576 kg, which is 194 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 250 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Golf R Variant 310 PS?
Closest here on pace: Holden Commodore Wagon 6.2 V8 413 (4.39 s), Holden Commodore Wagon 6.0 V8 367 (4.50 s), Porsche Macan S 381 PS (4.38 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Golf R Variant 310 PS 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 Golf R Variant 310 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
