Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68

The Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 reaches 60 mph in 14.48 s (100 km/h in 15.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.86 s, tripping the lights at 69.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.26 s and the eighth mile in 12.78 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 Samara 3dr 1.3i 68

The 1986 Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 910 kg with 67 bhp, which works out at 74 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.26 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 14,280th quickest to 60 mph, and the 25th quickest of the 37 Ladas here. Its 69.6 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.

Questions

What is the Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 0-60 time?
The Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 reaches 60 mph in 14.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,280th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 quarter mile time?
19.86 s at 69.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.78 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.26 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 have?
67 bhp and 910 kg, which is 74 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 146 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.0 53 (1996) (14.39 s), Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.0 53 (1991) (14.39 s), Subaru Vivio 3dr 0.7 44 (14.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Lada Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 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 Samara 3dr 1.3i 68 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.
