About the Passat CC 2.0 TDI 170 PS

The 2008 VW Passat CC 2.0 TDI 170 PS is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,630 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.71 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,674th quickest to 60 mph, and the 75th quickest of the 97 VWs here. Its 87.3 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 2.0 TDI 170 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
