About the Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,300 kg with 115 bhp, which works out at 89 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.01 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 10,373rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 96th quickest of the 164 Mitsubishis here. Its 80.1 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 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 0-60 time?

The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 reaches 60 mph in 10.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,373rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 quarter mile time?

17.66 s at 80.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 have?

115 bhp and 1,300 kg, which is 89 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117?

Closest here on pace: Holden Vectra Liftback 1.8 122 (10.23 s), Toyota Avensis Liftback 2.0 D-4D 116 (10.17 s), Hyundai ix35 / Tucson 1.6 GDI 135 (10.11 s). Each one can be raced against the Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 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 Lancer Sportback 1.6 MVTEC 117 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.
