Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73

The Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 reaches 60 mph in 17.27 s (100 km/h in 18.49 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 21.53 s, tripping the lights at 66.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.83 s and the eighth mile in 14.12 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 1500 L 1.5 73

The 1962 Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,200 kg with 72 bhp, which works out at 60 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 60 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.83 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,775th quickest to 60 mph, and the 431st quickest of the 455 Fiats here. Its 66.8 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 Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 0-60 time?
The Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 reaches 60 mph in 17.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,775th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 quarter mile time?
21.53 s at 66.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 14.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.83 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 have?
72 bhp and 1,200 kg, which is 60 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 140 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73?
Closest here on pace: Mercedes-Benz S-Class Ponton (W180/W105/W128) 220 a 84 (17.34 s), Dacia 1310 Break 1.3 56 (17.29 s), Holden FE 2.2 71 (16.97 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 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 Fiat 1500 L 1.5 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.
