Alpine A108 0.9 50

The Alpine A108 0.9 50 reaches 60 mph in 14.59 s (100 km/h in 15.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.32 s, tripping the lights at 71.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.61 s and the eighth mile in 13.36 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 A108 0.9 50

The 1958 Alpine A108 0.9 50 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 565 kg with 50 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 88 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.61 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,318th quickest to 60 mph, and the 13th quickest of the 13 Alpines here. Its 71.3 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 Alpine A108 0.9 50 0-60 time?
The Alpine A108 0.9 50 reaches 60 mph in 14.59 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,318th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpine A108 0.9 50 quarter mile time?
20.32 s at 71.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.36 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpine A108 0.9 50 have?
50 bhp and 565 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 154 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpine A108 0.9 50?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Aries Coupe 2.2 84 (14.71 s), Chevrolet Matiz / Spark (M300) 1.2 82 (14.55 s), Lada Samara 3dr 1.3 65 (14.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpine A108 0.9 50 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 Alpine A108 0.9 50 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.
