About the 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118

The 1972 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 960 kg with 117 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 122 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.63 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,526th quickest to 60 mph, and the 46th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. Its 86.2 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.

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 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 0-60 time?

The Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 reaches 60 mph in 8.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,526th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 quarter mile time?

16.21 s at 86.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.63 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 have?

117 bhp and 960 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118?

Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 JTS 185 (8.01 s), MG TF 1.8 (135 hp) (8.02 s), Volvo C70 Convertible 2.4 T 193 (7.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 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 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.8 118 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
