Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143

The Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s (100 km/h in 8.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.30 s, tripping the lights at 87.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.64 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 Elantra 5dr 2.0 143

The 2003 Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,293 kg with 141 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 7,083rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 52nd quickest of the 295 Hyundais here. Its 87.0 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 Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,083rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 quarter mile time?
16.30 s at 87.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.64 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 have?
141 bhp and 1,293 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 206 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143?
Closest here on pace: Toyota Corrola AE86 Levin (8.25 s), Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TS (8.20 s), Opel Astra 5dr 2.0 CDTI 165 Auto (8.26 s). Each one can be raced against the Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 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 Hyundai Elantra 5dr 2.0 143 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.
