Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116

The Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 reaches 60 mph in 9.02 s (100 km/h in 9.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.86 s, tripping the lights at 84.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 11.00 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 Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116

The 1990 Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,180 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.87 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 8,474th quickest to 60 mph, and the 90th quickest of the 263 Nissans here. Its 84.0 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 Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 0-60 time?
The Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 reaches 60 mph in 9.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,474th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 quarter mile time?
16.86 s at 84.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 have?
114 bhp and 1,180 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116?
Closest here on pace: Mazda 626 (Mk.5) Hatchback 2.0 115 (9.02 s), Skoda Fabia Hatchback 2.0 115 (9.02 s), Fiat Marea 1.8 113 (9.02 s). Each one can be raced against the Nissan Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 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 Primera Hatchback 2.0 16V 116 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.
