The 2004 Kia Sportage 2.7 V6 175 (2004) is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,570 kg with 173 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.11 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,469th quickest to 60 mph, and the 76th quickest of the 205 Kias here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 82.7 mph, the 8,555th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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.
