Ford Mondeo 2.3

The Ford Mondeo 2.3 reaches 60 mph in 10.39 s (100 km/h in 10.98 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.04 s, tripping the lights at 81.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.11 s and the eighth mile in 11.89 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.

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

About the Mondeo 2.3

The 2008 Ford Mondeo 2.3 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,466 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.11 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 10,768th quickest to 60 mph, and the 482nd quickest of the 789 Fords here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.0 mph, the 9,522nd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Mondeo 2.3 0-60 time?
The Ford Mondeo 2.3 reaches 60 mph in 10.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,768th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Mondeo 2.3 quarter mile time?
18.04 s at 81.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.11 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Mondeo 2.3 have?
158 bhp and 1,466 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 207 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Mondeo 2.3?
Closest here on pace: Plymouth Laser 2.0i 137 (10.44 s), Vauxhall Astra 5dr 1.8 16V VVT 140 (10.46 s), Saturn Astra XR (3dr) 1.8 140 (10.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Mondeo 2.3 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 Mondeo 2.3 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.

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.
