Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90

The Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s (100 km/h in 10.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.57 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.12 s and the eighth mile in 11.63 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 Colt 3dr 1.6 90

The 1996 Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 950 kg with 89 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.12 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 9,486th quickest to 60 mph, and the 76th quickest of the 164 Mitsubishis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.3 mph, the 8,177th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 0-60 time?
The Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 reaches 60 mph in 9.61 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,486th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 quarter mile time?
17.57 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.12 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 have?
89 bhp and 950 kg, which is 93 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Exeo ST 2.0 TDI (9.64 s), SEAT Toledo 1.8 16V 125 (9.64 s), DS Automobiles DS3 1.4 VTi 90 (9.65 s). Each one can be raced against the Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 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 Mitsubishi Colt 3dr 1.6 90 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.
