Nsu Ro80

The Nsu Ro80 reaches 60 mph in 12.93 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.28 s, tripping the lights at 72.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.19 s and the eighth mile in 12.53 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 Ro80

The 1967 Nsu Ro80 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,290 kg with 114 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.19 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,926th quickest to 60 mph. Its 72.2 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 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Nsu Ro80 0-60 time?
The Nsu Ro80 reaches 60 mph in 12.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,926th quickest of the 2,929 cars in the set.
What is the Nsu Ro80 quarter mile time?
19.28 s at 72.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.53 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.19 s.
How much power does the Nsu Ro80 have?
114 bhp and 1,290 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 183 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Nsu Ro80?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Swift 1.2 Dualjet (10.85 s), Dacia Sandero 1.0 TCe 90 (10.78 s), De Lorean DMC-12 USA spec (9.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Nsu Ro80 in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Nsu Ro80 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
