FSO Prima 1.5

The FSO Prima 1.5 reaches 60 mph in 15.10 s (100 km/h in 16.80 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.54 s, tripping the lights at 68.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.51 s and the eighth mile in 13.35 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 1.5

The 1988 FSO Prima 1.5 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,110 kg with 74 bhp, which works out at 66 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 66 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.51 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,459th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 6 FSOs here. Its 68.5 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.

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 FSO Prima 1.5 0-60 time?
The FSO Prima 1.5 reaches 60 mph in 15.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,459th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the FSO Prima 1.5 quarter mile time?
20.54 s at 68.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.35 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the FSO Prima 1.5 have?
74 bhp and 1,110 kg, which is 66 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 154 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the FSO Prima 1.5?
Closest here on pace: Skoda Fabia 1.0 MPI 60 (15.08 s), Hyundai i10 1.0 67 (15.24 s), Smart forfour 1.0 60 (15.13 s). Each one can be raced against the FSO Prima 1.5 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 1.5 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.
