Ford Focus 2.0 16v

The Ford Focus 2.0 16v reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s (100 km/h in 9.06 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.72 s, tripping the lights at 84.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.89 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 Focus 2.0 16v

The 2005 Ford Focus 2.0 16v is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,245 kg with 143 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 7,593rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 267th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 84.4 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 9 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 Ford Focus 2.0 16v 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus 2.0 16v reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,593rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Focus 2.0 16v quarter mile time?
16.72 s at 84.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Focus 2.0 16v have?
143 bhp and 1,245 kg, which is 115 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 206 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Focus 2.0 16v?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 307 CC 2.0 16V 177 (8.60 s), Hyundai Lantra 1.8i 128 (8.56 s), Lexus IS 200 155 (8.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Focus 2.0 16v 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 Focus 2.0 16v is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
