Fiat X1/9 1500

The Fiat X1/9 1500 reaches 60 mph in 10.69 s (100 km/h in 11.22 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.11 s, tripping the lights at 81.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s and the eighth mile in 12.03 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the X1/9 1500

The 1972 Fiat X1/9 1500 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 920 kg with 84 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 92 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.18 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,232nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 206th quickest of the 455 Fiats here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.6 mph, the 9,116th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 9 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 X1/9 1500 0-60 time?
The Fiat X1/9 1500 reaches 60 mph in 10.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,232nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Fiat X1/9 1500 quarter mile time?
18.11 s at 81.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.03 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.18 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Fiat X1/9 1500 have?
84 bhp and 920 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Fiat X1/9 1500?
Closest here on pace: Honda HR-V 5dr 1.6i 105 (10.62 s), Dacia Logan MCV 1.6 16V 105 (10.74 s), Nissan Qashqai 1.6 115 (10.75 s). Each one can be raced against the Fiat X1/9 1500 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 X1/9 1500 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
