The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA (C117) 220d 4MATIC 177 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,585 kg with 174 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.17 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,429th quickest to 60 mph, and the 567th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 88.6 mph at the lights is only the 5,675th 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.
