Daewoo Espero 1.5 90

The Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 reaches 60 mph in 11.65 s (100 km/h in 12.37 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.68 s, tripping the lights at 75.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.15 s and the eighth mile in 12.13 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 Espero 1.5 90

The 1990 Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,088 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 81 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.15 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 12,417th quickest to 60 mph, and the 36th quickest of the 45 Daewoos here. Its 75.3 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.

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 Espero 1.5 90 0-60 time?
The Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 reaches 60 mph in 11.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,417th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 quarter mile time?
18.68 s at 75.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 have?
89 bhp and 1,088 kg, which is 81 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 170 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Daewoo Espero 1.5 90?
Closest here on pace: Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 124 (11.69 s), Mitsubishi Galant 1.8 86 (11.55 s), Lincoln Continental 5.0 V8 140 (11.67 s). Each one can be raced against the Daewoo Espero 1.5 90 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 Espero 1.5 90 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.
