Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116

The Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 reaches 60 mph in 12.31 s (100 km/h in 13.05 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.05 s, tripping the lights at 74.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s and the eighth mile in 12.45 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the PT Cruiser 1.6 116

The 2000 Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,370 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 83 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.29 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 13,115th quickest to 60 mph, and the 73rd quickest of the 76 Chryslers here. Its 74.5 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 0-60 time?
The Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 reaches 60 mph in 12.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,115th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 quarter mile time?
19.05 s at 74.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.45 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.29 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 have?
114 bhp and 1,370 kg, which is 83 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 176 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116?
Closest here on pace: DR Motor dr5 1.6 118 (12.31 s), Ford Escape 2.0 126 (12.28 s), Subaru XV 1.6i CVT 114 (12.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 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.
