Holden Tigra 1.8 126

The Holden Tigra 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s (100 km/h in 9.04 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.51 s, tripping the lights at 85.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s and the eighth mile in 10.78 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 Tigra 1.8 126

The 2005 Holden Tigra 1.8 126 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,190 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 104 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.81 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 7,602nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 39th quickest of the 110 Holdens here. Its 85.8 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 Holden Tigra 1.8 126 0-60 time?
The Holden Tigra 1.8 126 reaches 60 mph in 8.56 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,602nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Holden Tigra 1.8 126 quarter mile time?
16.51 s at 85.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Holden Tigra 1.8 126 have?
123 bhp and 1,190 kg, which is 104 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Holden Tigra 1.8 126?
Closest here on pace: Vauxhall Tigra Twin Top 1.8i 125 (8.56 s), Opel Tigra Twin Top 1.8 16V 125 (8.56 s), Lancia Delta 1.8 130 (8.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Holden Tigra 1.8 126 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 Tigra 1.8 126 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.
