MG GS 1.5 TGI 166

The MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 reaches 60 mph in 9.03 s (100 km/h in 9.52 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.75 s, tripping the lights at 82.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s and the eighth mile in 10.79 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 GS 1.5 TGI 166

The 2015 MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 is a front-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,385 kg with 164 bhp, which works out at 118 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.53 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 8,490th quickest to 60 mph, and the 37th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 82.7 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 MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 0-60 time?
The MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 reaches 60 mph in 9.03 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,490th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 quarter mile time?
16.75 s at 82.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.53 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 have?
164 bhp and 1,385 kg, which is 118 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the MG GS 1.5 TGI 166?
Closest here on pace: Nissan X-Trail 2.5 16V 165 (9.02 s), Subaru Forester 2.5 167 (8.93 s), Subaru Outback 2.5 165 (8.93 s). Each one can be raced against the MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 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 MG GS 1.5 TGI 166 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.
