VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245

The VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 reaches 60 mph in 6.79 s (100 km/h in 7.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.23 s, tripping the lights at 88.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 9.66 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 Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245

The 2010 VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,099 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.13 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 4,317th quickest to 60 mph, and the 135th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 88.9 mph at the lights is only the 5,586th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 0-60 time?
The VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 reaches 60 mph in 6.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,317th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 quarter mile time?
15.23 s at 88.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 have?
241 bhp and 2,099 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 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 Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz GLB 200d 4MATIC 190 (6.79 s), MINI Countryman Cooper SD ALL4 2.0 190 (6.80 s), BMW X1 20i sDrive 184 Auto (6.76 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 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 Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI 245 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.
