Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150

The Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.05 s (100 km/h in 9.03 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.36 s, tripping the lights at 84.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s and the eighth mile in 10.57 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 2.4 JTD 150

The 1997 Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,360 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.64 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 6,621st quickest to 60 mph, and the 99th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. It leaves better than it pulls: 84.5 mph at the lights is only the 7,560th 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.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.05 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,621st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 quarter mile time?
16.36 s at 84.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.57 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 have?
148 bhp and 1,360 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150?
Closest here on pace: Opel Insignia Hatchback 1.6 Turbo ECOTEC 170 (8.04 s), Ford Focus 5dr 2.0 TDCi 140 (8.05 s), Peugeot RCZ 1.6 THP 158 (8.09 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD 150 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 2.4 JTD 150 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.
