Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140

The Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 11.67 s (100 km/h in 12.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.97 s, tripping the lights at 79.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.38 s and the eighth mile in 12.71 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 Astra TwinTop 1.8 140

The 2007 Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,400 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.38 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 12,450th quickest to 60 mph, and the 86th quickest of the 110 Holdens here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 79.0 mph, the 10,534th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 0-60 time?
The Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 11.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,450th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 quarter mile time?
18.97 s at 79.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 have?
138 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140?
Closest here on pace: Mazda 2 1.5 113 (11.61 s), SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 (11.75 s), SEAT Malaga 1.5i 90 (11.63 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 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 Holden Astra TwinTop 1.8 140 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.
