Questions

Is the Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014) or the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 faster?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.56 s to the Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014)'s 16.42 s, a margin of 0.86 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s against 8.33 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014) 0-60 time?
The Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014) reaches 60 mph in 8.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.42 s at 85.6 mph.
What is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 reaches 60 mph in 7.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.56 s at 93.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014) trips the lights at 85.6 mph and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231 at 93.0 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 Volvo V60 1.6 E85 180 (2014) and 2 of 2 for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon (S211) 280 V6 231. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
