Opel Corsa GSI A

The Opel Corsa GSI A reaches 60 mph in 9.34 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.13 s, tripping the lights at 81.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 11.13 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 Corsa GSI A

The 1988 Opel Corsa GSI A is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 820 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,831st quickest to 60 mph, and the 34th quickest of the 34 Opels here. Its 81.9 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

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 Corsa GSI A is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
