Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136

The Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s (100 km/h in 9.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.88 s, tripping the lights at 82.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s and the eighth mile in 10.86 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 2.4 JTD 136

The 1996 Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,465 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.56 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 8,281st quickest to 60 mph, and the 151st quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 82.6 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 166 2.4 JTD 136 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,281st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 quarter mile time?
16.88 s at 82.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.86 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 have?
134 bhp and 1,465 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 508 1.5 BlueHDI 130 (8.94 s), SEAT Toledo 2.0 TDI 140 (8.93 s), Kia Optima / Magentis 2.0 D 147 (8.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 166 2.4 JTD 136 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 2.4 JTD 136 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.
