VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT

The VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT reaches 60 mph in 7.64 s (100 km/h in 8.13 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.95 s, tripping the lights at 87.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.27 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 Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT

The 2009 VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,521 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 104 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.49 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 5,816th quickest to 60 mph, and the 270th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. Its 87.2 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT 0-60 time?
The VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT reaches 60 mph in 7.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,816th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT quarter mile time?
15.95 s at 87.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.27 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT have?
158 bhp and 1,521 kg, which is 104 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF (X250) 2.2D 192 (7.65 s), Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2 Turbo 150 (7.61 s), MG MG6 GT 1.8 TCI 160 (7.63 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT 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 Passat CC 1.8 TSI 160 DCT 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.
