Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001)

The Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) reaches 60 mph in 15.39 s (100 km/h in 16.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.29 s, tripping the lights at 68.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.35 s and the eighth mile in 13.07 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 Matiz 0.8 52

The 2001 Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 751 kg with 51 bhp, which works out at 68 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.35 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 14,518th quickest to 60 mph, and the 43rd quickest of the 45 Daewoos here. Its 68.3 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 Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) 0-60 time?
The Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) reaches 60 mph in 15.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,518th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) quarter mile time?
20.29 s at 68.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.07 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) have?
51 bhp and 751 kg, which is 68 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 144 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001)?
Closest here on pace: Tata Motors Indica 1.4 D 60 (15.36 s), Subaru Mini Jumbo 3dr 0.8 42 (15.33 s), Smart forfour 1.0 71 (15.32 s). Each one can be raced against the Daewoo Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) 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 Matiz 0.8 52 (2001) 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.
