Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s (100 km/h in 9.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.75 s, tripping the lights at 84.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 10.89 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 Alfetta GT 1.8 121

The 1974 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,050 kg with 119 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 114 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.82 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,102nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 143rd quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 84.1 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 Alfetta GT 1.8 121 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,102nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 quarter mile time?
16.75 s at 84.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 have?
119 bhp and 1,050 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Yaris 1.5 VVT-i 125 (Mk4) (8.83 s), Fiat Argo 1.8 E-Torq 132 (8.83 s), MG ZS 4dr 120 (8.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 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 Alfetta GT 1.8 121 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.
