Off the line, the 220d Convertible hits 100 km/h in 7.66 s versus 8.00 s for the S60 B4. Despite the faster sprint time, the S60 B4 is 6 m further along the track at this moment: stronger low-speed acceleration offsets a slower run beyond 100 km/h.
At 200 metres, the S60 B4 is doing 115 km/h against 120 km/h for the 220d Convertible. The gap is 0.11 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 220d Convertible crosses the line in 15.71 s versus 15.82 s. The 0.11 s gap represents roughly 4 m of track - barely a car length.
Past 400 metres, the 220d Convertible continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 167 km/h versus 161 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 220d Convertible finishes in 28.34 s versus 28.87 s, with a 0.53 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the S60 B4 is capped at 180 km/h, the 220d Convertible at 225 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (8.27 kg/hp vs 8.34 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.00 seconds. The 0.34 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
