Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003)

The Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) reaches 60 mph in 8.10 s (100 km/h in 8.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.18 s, tripping the lights at 87.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.54 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 Barchetta 1.8 16V 130

The 2003 Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,048 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 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 6,727th quickest to 60 mph, and the 50th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. Its 87.4 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 Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) 0-60 time?
The Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) reaches 60 mph in 8.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,727th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) quarter mile time?
16.18 s at 87.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.54 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) have?
129 bhp and 1,048 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003)?
Closest here on pace: Mazda MX-5 / Miata 1.6i 116 (8.01 s), Bitter SC Senator Coupe (8.06 s), Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe 2.2 141 (8.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) 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 Barchetta 1.8 16V 130 (2003) 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.
