The Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s (100 km/h in 8.09 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.04 s, tripping the lights at 89.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.55 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS
The 1984 Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,430 kg with 164 bhp, which works out at 114 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 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 5,896th quickest to 60 mph, and the 22nd quickest of the 150 Lancias here. Its 89.5 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 7 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS 0-60 time?
The Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS reaches 60 mph in 7.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,896th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS quarter mile time?
16.04 s at 89.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.55 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS have?
164 bhp and 1,430 kg, which is 114 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS?
Closest here on pace: Volkswagen Golf 1.5 TSI 150 (Mk8) (7.71 s), Nissan Leaf 52kWh (7.66 s), Skoda Octavia 1.5 TSI 150 (Mk4) (7.71 s). Each one can be raced against the Lancia Thema i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS 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 i.e. Turbo 2.0 8V Mk I 165 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
