Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140

The Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s (100 km/h in 9.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.50 s, tripping the lights at 86.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.79 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 146 1.8 TS 140

The 1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,133 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,598th quickest to 60 mph, and the 128th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 86.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,598th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 quarter mile time?
16.50 s at 86.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,133 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 207 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Toledo 1.8 16V 88 (8.56 s), Isuzu Piazza Turbo (8.57 s), Hyundai Lantra 1.8i 128 (8.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 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 Alfa Romeo 146 1.8 TS 140 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.
