Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136

The Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 reaches 60 mph in 9.53 s (100 km/h in 10.11 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.36 s, tripping the lights at 81.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.01 s and the eighth mile in 11.33 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 Sonata 2.0i 136

The 1998 Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,296 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 103 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.01 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 9,316th quickest to 60 mph, and the 105th quickest of the 295 Hyundais here. Its 81.8 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.

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 Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 0-60 time?
The Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 reaches 60 mph in 9.53 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,316th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 quarter mile time?
17.36 s at 81.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.33 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 have?
134 bhp and 1,296 kg, which is 103 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136?
Closest here on pace: Renault 21 Nevada 2.0 120 (9.57 s), Mazda 6/Atenza Sedan 2.0 145 (9.50 s), Kia Cerato / Spectra Sedan 2.0 143 (9.55 s). Each one can be raced against the Hyundai Sonata 2.0i 136 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 Sonata 2.0i 136 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.
