Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130

The Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.47 s (100 km/h in 8.94 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.46 s, tripping the lights at 85.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s and the eighth mile in 10.72 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 5dr 2.0i 130

The 1998 Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,156 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 111 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.78 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 7,426th quickest to 60 mph, and the 245th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 85.9 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 Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,426th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 quarter mile time?
16.46 s at 85.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.78 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 have?
129 bhp and 1,156 kg, which is 111 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 201 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 155 2.0 TS 143 (8.47 s), SEAT Ibiza 5dr 2.0 116 (8.47 s), Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 1.8 TS 144 (8.47 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Focus 5dr 2.0i 130 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 5dr 2.0i 130 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.
