Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115

The Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 reaches 60 mph in 9.34 s (100 km/h in 9.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.03 s, tripping the lights at 80.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 10.94 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 156 1.9 JTD 115

The 2003 Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,305 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 87 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.69 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 9,010th quickest to 60 mph, and the 165th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 80.8 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 156 1.9 JTD 115 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 reaches 60 mph in 9.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,010th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 quarter mile time?
17.03 s at 80.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.94 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 have?
114 bhp and 1,305 kg, which is 87 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115?
Closest here on pace: Ford Puma 1.5 EcoBlue 120 (9.37 s), Fiat Stilo 3dr 1.9 JTD 115 (9.34 s), Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.9 CDTi 120 (9.29 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 156 1.9 JTD 115 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 156 1.9 JTD 115 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.
