Alfa Romeo 147 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 140

The Alfa Romeo 147 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.22 s (100 km/h in 8.73 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.41 s, tripping the lights at 83.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.58 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 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 140

The 2000 Alfa Romeo 147 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 140 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,310 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 105 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.49 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 6,951st quickest to 60 mph, and the 111th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 83.9 mph at the lights is only the 7,871st highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Closest here on pace: Audi Q3 Facelift 1.4 TSFI 150 (8.25 s), Opel Astra 5dr 2.0 CDTI 165 Auto (8.26 s), DS Automobiles Citroen DS 3 Crossback 1.2 PureTech 131 (8.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 147 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 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 147 (5dr) 1.9 JTD 16V 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
