Lancia Delta 1.6 90

The Lancia Delta 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 10.28 s (100 km/h in 10.90 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.82 s, tripping the lights at 78.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s and the eighth mile in 11.54 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 Delta 1.6 90

The 1979 Lancia Delta 1.6 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 995 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 89 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.97 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 10,614th quickest to 60 mph, and the 89th quickest of the 150 Lancias here. Its 78.6 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.

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 Lancia Delta 1.6 90 0-60 time?
The Lancia Delta 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 10.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,614th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lancia Delta 1.6 90 quarter mile time?
17.82 s at 78.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.54 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.97 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lancia Delta 1.6 90 have?
89 bhp and 995 kg, which is 89 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lancia Delta 1.6 90?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Leon 1.6 100 (10.31 s), SEAT Toledo 1.6 101 (10.31 s), Mazda 121/ Revue (Mk.2) 1.3 72 (10.32 s). Each one can be raced against the Lancia Delta 1.6 90 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 Lancia Delta 1.6 90 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.
