About the ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131

The 2004 MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,560 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 83 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 10,570th quickest to 60 mph, and the 56th quickest of the 61 MGs here. Its 78.3 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.

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 MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) 0-60 time?

The MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) reaches 60 mph in 10.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,570th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) quarter mile time?

17.60 s at 78.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.34 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 MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) have?

129 bhp and 1,560 kg, which is 83 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 192 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004)?

Closest here on pace: Lancia Lybra Sedan 1.9 JTD 105 (10.24 s), Mazda 3 / Axela Sedan 1.6 CD 110 (10.24 s), Nissan Tiida/Versa Sedan 1.5 dCi 105 (10.26 s). Each one can be raced against the MG ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) 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 ZT-T 2.0 CDTi 131 (2004) 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.
