Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85

The Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 reaches 60 mph in 11.65 s (100 km/h in 12.48 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.38 s, tripping the lights at 71.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 11.71 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 Esteem 1.3 85

The 1995 Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 826 kg with 84 bhp, which works out at 102 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 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 12,416th quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 3 Maruti Suzukis here. It leaves better than it pulls: 71.9 mph at the lights is only the 13,774th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. 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 Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 0-60 time?
The Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 reaches 60 mph in 11.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,416th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 quarter mile time?
18.38 s at 71.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.71 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 have?
84 bhp and 826 kg, which is 102 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 142 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki SX4 1.6D 120 (11.76 s), Mitsubishi Space Star 1.2 MIVEC CVT 80 (11.55 s), SEAT Malaga 1.5i 90 (11.63 s). Each one can be raced against the Maruti Suzuki Esteem 1.3 85 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 Esteem 1.3 85 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.
