Hyundai Veloster 1.6 GDi 140 PS

The Hyundai Veloster 1.6 GDi 140 PS reaches 60 mph in 9.15 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.19 s, tripping the lights at 83.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.90 s and the eighth mile in 11.26 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 Veloster 1.6 GDi 140 PS

The 2011 Hyundai Veloster 1.6 GDi 140 PS is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,260 kg with 138 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.90 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,812th quickest to 60 mph, and the 19th quickest of the 25 Hyundais here. Its 83.2 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Veloster 1.6 GDi 140 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
