About the Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73

The 1988 Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,449 kg with 72 bhp, which works out at 50 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.64 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,930th quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 23 Daihatsus here. Its 60.7 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 Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 0-60 time?
The Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 reaches 60 mph in 21.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,930th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 quarter mile time?
22.47 s at 60.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 14.39 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 have?
72 bhp and 1,449 kg, which is 50 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 120 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73?
Closest here on pace: Lada NIVA 1.9 D 65 (22.35 s), Ssangyong Korando 2.9 D 95 (21.16 s), Ssangyong Korando 2.3 D 80 (22.50 s). Each one can be raced against the Daihatsu Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 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 Rocky Hardtop 2.8 D 73 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.
