Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155

The Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 reaches 60 mph in 7.36 s (100 km/h in 8.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.90 s, tripping the lights at 89.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s and the eighth mile in 10.42 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 2.0 TS 155

The 1997 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,245 kg with 153 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.73 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 5,279th quickest to 60 mph, and the 61st quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 89.8 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 2.0 TS 155 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 reaches 60 mph in 7.36 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,279th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 quarter mile time?
15.90 s at 89.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.42 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 have?
153 bhp and 1,245 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 216 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155?
Closest here on pace: Volvo C30 2.4 145 (7.36 s), Abarth Grande Punto (7.45 s), DS Automobiles Citroen DS 3 Crossback 1.2 PureTech 155 (7.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS 155 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 2.0 TS 155 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.
