About the Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60

The 2008 Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 966 kg with 59 bhp, which works out at 61 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.44 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 14,503rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 753rd quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 68.9 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 Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) reaches 60 mph in 15.32 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,503rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) quarter mile time?
20.34 s at 68.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.44 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) have?
59 bhp and 966 kg, which is 61 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 152 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008)?
Closest here on pace: Tata Motors Indica 1.4 D 60 (15.36 s), Subaru Mini Jumbo 5dr 0.8 42 (15.33 s), Tata Motors Indigo 1.4 D 60 (15.36 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 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 Ford Fiesta 3dr 1.25 60 (2008) 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.
