Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60

The Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 reaches 60 mph in 14.55 s (100 km/h in 15.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 20.28 s, tripping the lights at 69.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.50 s and the eighth mile in 13.22 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 Astra Sedan 1.4 60

The 1994 Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 980 kg with 59 bhp, which works out at 60 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.50 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 14,299th quickest to 60 mph, and the 652nd quickest of the 721 Opels here. Its 69.7 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 Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 0-60 time?
The Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 reaches 60 mph in 14.55 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,299th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 quarter mile time?
20.28 s at 69.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.22 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.50 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 have?
59 bhp and 980 kg, which is 60 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 160 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60?
Closest here on pace: VW Passat 1.6 72 (1988) (14.69 s), Citroen Nemo Combi 1.4 73 (14.46 s), Lada Samara 4dr 1.3 65 (14.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 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 Opel Astra Sedan 1.4 60 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.
