Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155

The Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.27 s (100 km/h in 9.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.63 s, tripping the lights at 85.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 10.90 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 166 2.0 TS 155

The 1996 Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,395 kg with 153 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 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 7,061st quickest to 60 mph, and the 113th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 85.8 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 reaches 60 mph in 8.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,061st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 quarter mile time?
16.63 s at 85.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 166 2.0 TS 155 have?
153 bhp and 1,395 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, 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 166 2.0 TS 155?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Primera Sedan 2.0 16v 140 (8.26 s), Volvo V50 2.0 145 (2007) (8.26 s), Volvo V50 2.0 145 (2004) (8.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 166 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 166 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.
