Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet

The Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s (100 km/h in 8.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.58 s, tripping the lights at 86.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.86 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 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet

The 2005 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,290 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 7,243rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 116th 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 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,243rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet quarter mile time?
16.58 s at 86.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.86 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet have?
148 bhp and 1,290 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet?
Closest here on pace: Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 (8.36 s), Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0 16V 152 (8.40 s), Hyundai Veloster 1.6 Blue 140 (8.35 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet 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 147 1.9 JTD M-Jet is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
