Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90

The Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.55 s (100 km/h in 10.11 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.22 s, tripping the lights at 80.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s and the eighth mile in 11.07 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 Applause 1.6 90

The 1989 Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 930 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 95 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.61 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 9,342nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 23 Daihatsus here. Its 80.2 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 Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 0-60 time?
The Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,342nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 quarter mile time?
17.22 s at 80.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.07 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90 have?
89 bhp and 930 kg, which is 95 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Daihatsu Applause 1.6 90?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Croma 2.0 116 (9.57 s), Fiat Marea 2.4 TDS 124 (9.53 s), Mitsubishi Colt CZC 1.5 16V 109 (9.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Daihatsu Applause 1.6 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 Daihatsu Applause 1.6 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.
