Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71

The Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 reaches 60 mph in 11.75 s (100 km/h in 12.57 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.43 s, tripping the lights at 73.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s and the eighth mile in 11.77 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 Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71

The 1994 Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 940 kg with 70 bhp, which works out at 74 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.86 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 12,553rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 37th quickest of the 45 Daewoos here. Its 73.6 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.

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 Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 0-60 time?
The Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 reaches 60 mph in 11.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,553rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 quarter mile time?
18.43 s at 73.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.77 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 have?
70 bhp and 940 kg, which is 74 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 145 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 (11.79 s), SEAT Toledo 1.6 102 (11.77 s), Honda Civic Sedan 1.3 83 (11.58 s). Each one can be raced against the Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 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 Daewoo Cielo/Nexia 1.5 CNG 71 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.
