Nissan Altima Coupe

The Nissan Altima Coupe reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s (100 km/h in 5.57 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.84 s, tripping the lights at 100.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s and the eighth mile in 8.97 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.56 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Altima Coupe

The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,475 kg with 270 bhp, which works out at 183 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.23 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 2,459th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 18th quickest of the 263 Nissans here. Its 100.9 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Nissan Altima Coupe 0-60 time?
The Nissan Altima Coupe reaches 60 mph in 5.29 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,459th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Nissan Altima Coupe quarter mile time?
13.84 s at 100.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.97 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Nissan Altima Coupe have?
270 bhp and 1,475 kg, which is 183 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Nissan Altima Coupe?
Closest here on pace: Opel GT (5.28 s), Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2.0 ECOTEC Turbo 264 (5.30 s), Cadillac CTS Coupe (5.30 s). Each one can be raced against the Nissan Altima Coupe 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 Nissan Altima Coupe is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
