About the Alto 0.8 47

The 2000 Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 720 kg with 47 bhp, which works out at 65 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.45 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 14,818th quickest to 60 mph, and the 3rd quickest of the 3 Maruti Suzukis here. Its 64.4 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 Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 0-60 time?
The Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 reaches 60 mph in 17.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,818th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 quarter mile time?
21.27 s at 64.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.64 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 have?
47 bhp and 720 kg, which is 65 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 130 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47?
Closest here on pace: FSO Prima 1.9 D (17.91 s), Hummer H1 2dr Hardtop 6.5 V8 197 (18.15 s), Fiat Panda 4x4 1.2 60 (18.12 s). Each one can be raced against the Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 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 Maruti Suzuki Alto 0.8 47 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
