The 2015 Opel Astra 5dr 1.4 ECOTEC Start/Stop 125 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,278 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 97 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.52 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 7,622nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 175th quickest of the 721 Opels here. It leaves better than it pulls: 82.4 mph at the lights is only the 8,707th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. 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.
