FSO Prima 1.4

The FSO Prima 1.4 reaches 60 mph in 8.91 s (100 km/h in 9.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.92 s, tripping the lights at 82.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 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 Prima 1.4

The 1988 FSO Prima 1.4 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,100 kg with 102 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 93 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.73 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,241st quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 6 FSOs here. Its 82.0 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 FSO Prima 1.4 0-60 time?
The FSO Prima 1.4 reaches 60 mph in 8.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,241st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the FSO Prima 1.4 quarter mile time?
16.92 s at 82.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.73 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the FSO Prima 1.4 have?
102 bhp and 1,100 kg, which is 93 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the FSO Prima 1.4?
Closest here on pace: Pontiac Vibe 1.8 VVTL-i 130 (8.92 s), Jaguar E-Pace D180 180 (8.91 s), Daewoo Lacetti 5dr 2.0 D 121 (8.88 s). Each one can be raced against the FSO Prima 1.4 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 FSO Prima 1.4 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.
