Questions

Is the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 or the Volvo C30 1.6 100 faster?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.43 s to the Volvo C30 1.6 100's 18.08 s, a margin of 1.66 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s against 10.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.43 s at 85.6 mph.
What is the Volvo C30 1.6 100 0-60 time?
The Volvo C30 1.6 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.08 s at 78.4 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 trips the lights at 85.6 mph and the Volvo C30 1.6 100 at 78.4 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 and 2 of 2 for the Volvo C30 1.6 100. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
