About the Toronado 5.7 V8 167

The 1979 Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,695 kg with 165 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.23 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 12,034th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 5 Oldsmobiles here. Its 75.6 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 Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 0-60 time?

The Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 reaches 60 mph in 11.31 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,034th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 quarter mile time?

18.55 s at 75.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.23 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 have?

165 bhp and 1,695 kg, which is 97 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 151 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167?

Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.0 150 (11.34 s), Suzuki SX4 Sedan 1.6 120 (11.25 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.0 T 150 (11.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 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 Oldsmobile Toronado 5.7 V8 167 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.
