Ford Ka+ 1.2 70

The Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 reaches 60 mph in 13.89 s (100 km/h in 14.82 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.94 s, tripping the lights at 70.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.40 s and the eighth mile in 12.96 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 Ka+ 1.2 70

The 2016 Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 980 kg with 70 bhp, which works out at 71 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.40 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 14,073rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 727th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 70.6 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 Ka+ 1.2 70 0-60 time?
The Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 reaches 60 mph in 13.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,073rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 quarter mile time?
19.94 s at 70.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.40 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 have?
70 bhp and 980 kg, which is 71 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 159 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70?
Closest here on pace: Smart forfour 1.1 64 (13.88 s), Opel Combo 1.4 95 (14.00 s), Skoda Citigo 3dr 1.0 60 (13.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 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 Ka+ 1.2 70 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.
