How Caralogy calculates these lap times
All values are produced by the Caralogy physics simulation engine from mass, SCx, power curve, max wheel torque, transmission ratio and traction. They may differ from published measurements as lap times vary by test protocol, specimen and conditions. Our goal is to provide comparable lap times across vehicles.
Front-wheel drive: weight transfer at launch lightens the driven wheels, limiting available traction.
Analysis
Volvo XC40 B4 performance analysis
-0,1 s under the manufacturer figure
The Volvo XC40 B4 reaches 100 km/h in 8,2 s in our simulation, i.e. -0,1 s against the 8,3 s quoted by the manufacturer. Performance times vary with many factors: test conditions (temperature, road surface, wind, tyres), the specific car tested (press vehicles are often in optimal trim), the measurement protocol of each tester, and the driver. That is why Autocar, Car and Driver or MotorTrend can quote different times for the same model. Caralogy does not try to reproduce those conditions — they are not reproducible at scale — but to provide times that are comparable between vehicles, computed under identical simulation conditions.
Front-wheel drive — weight transfer at launch
With front-wheel drive, weight transfer at launch unloads the driven wheels. On a powerful car, this can limit available traction in the first few metres.
0–200 km/h and high speeds
At high speed, aerodynamic drag grows with the square of velocity. CdA and peak power become the deciding factors.
Position within the {0} segment
Where does the {0} stand against the other cars in its segment? Volvo XC40 B4 sits among the cars of its segment. Times are compared under identical simulation conditions, so the ranking is fair.
