Isuzu Impuse RS

The Isuzu Impuse RS reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.51 s, tripping the lights at 92.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s and the eighth mile in 10.17 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 Impuse RS

The 1991 Isuzu Impuse RS is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,239 kg with 160 bhp, which works out at 129 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.66 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,383rd quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 2 Isuzus here. Its 92.3 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 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

15.51 s at 92.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s.
How much power does the Isuzu Impuse RS have?
160 bhp and 1,239 kg, which is 129 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 226 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Isuzu Impuse RS?
Closest here on pace: Datsun 280-ZX Turbo (6.88 s), Reliant Scimitar 1800 Ti SS1 (6.80 s), Citroen BX 4TC (6.90 s). Each one can be raced against the Isuzu Impuse RS in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Isuzu Impuse RS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 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.
