FSO Prima 1.9 D

The FSO Prima 1.9 D reaches 60 mph in 17.91 s (100 km/h in 19.27 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 21.40 s, tripping the lights at 65.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.61 s and the eighth mile in 13.83 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 1.9 D

The 1988 FSO Prima 1.9 D is a rear-drive turbodiesel car of 1,145 kg with 68 bhp, which works out at 60 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 60 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.61 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,811th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 6 FSOs here. Its 65.2 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 1.9 D 0-60 time?
The FSO Prima 1.9 D reaches 60 mph in 17.91 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,811th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the FSO Prima 1.9 D quarter mile time?
21.40 s at 65.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.61 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the FSO Prima 1.9 D have?
68 bhp and 1,145 kg, which is 60 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 140 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the FSO Prima 1.9 D?
Closest here on pace: Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 (17.97 s), Fiat Panda 4x4 1.2 60 (18.12 s), Hummer H1 4dr Hardtop 6.5 V8 197 (18.16 s). Each one can be raced against the FSO Prima 1.9 D 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 1.9 D 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.
