Lada Nova 1.5 75

The Lada Nova 1.5 75 reaches 60 mph in 15.46 s (100 km/h in 16.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.67 s, tripping the lights at 69.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.64 s and the eighth mile in 13.52 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 Nova 1.5 75

The 1981 Lada Nova 1.5 75 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 976 kg with 74 bhp, which works out at 76 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 76 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.64 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,540th quickest to 60 mph, and the 30th quickest of the 37 Ladas here. Its 69.1 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 Lada Nova 1.5 75 0-60 time?
The Lada Nova 1.5 75 reaches 60 mph in 15.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,540th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lada Nova 1.5 75 quarter mile time?
20.67 s at 69.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.52 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.64 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lada Nova 1.5 75 have?
74 bhp and 976 kg, which is 76 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 143 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lada Nova 1.5 75?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Alto 1.0 68 (15.45 s), Dacia 1100 1.1 65 (15.47 s), Nissan Pixo 1.0 68 (15.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Lada Nova 1.5 75 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 Lada Nova 1.5 75 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.
