About the Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118

The 1988 Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,325 kg with 117 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.80 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 10,114th quickest to 60 mph, and the 84th quickest of the 150 Lancias here. Its 79.1 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.

Questions

What is the Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 0-60 time?
The Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 reaches 60 mph in 9.99 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,114th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 quarter mile time?
17.42 s at 79.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 have?
117 bhp and 1,325 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 195 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118?
Closest here on pace: Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Sedan 2.0 DiTD 110 (9.98 s), MG ZT 2.0 CDTi 131 (9.98 s), MG ZT 2.0d 131 (9.98 s). Each one can be raced against the Lancia Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 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 Thema 2.4 Turbo D 118 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.
