Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175

The Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 reaches 60 mph in 7.80 s (100 km/h in 8.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.01 s, tripping the lights at 88.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s and the eighth mile in 10.35 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 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175

The 2003 Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,435 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 121 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 6,136th quickest to 60 mph, and the 84th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 88.3 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 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 reaches 60 mph in 7.80 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,136th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 quarter mile time?
16.01 s at 88.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.49 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 have?
173 bhp and 1,435 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175?
Closest here on pace: Opel Astra 5dr 1.6 BiTurbo CDTi 160 (7.79 s), Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Turbo 150 (K) (7.79 s), Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.3 GTI 160 (7.82 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 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 Sportwagon 2.4 JTD 175 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.
