Peugeot 405 1.9 125

The Peugeot 405 1.9 125 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s (100 km/h in 9.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.73 s, tripping the lights at 84.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.84 s and the eighth mile in 10.91 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 405 1.9 125

The 1987 Peugeot 405 1.9 125 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,005 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 123 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.84 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 8,109th quickest to 60 mph, and the 113th quickest of the 456 Peugeots here. Its 84.6 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.

Questions

What is the Peugeot 405 1.9 125 0-60 time?
The Peugeot 405 1.9 125 reaches 60 mph in 8.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,109th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Peugeot 405 1.9 125 quarter mile time?
16.73 s at 84.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.84 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Peugeot 405 1.9 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,005 kg, which is 123 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Peugeot 405 1.9 125?
Closest here on pace: Daihatsu Charade GTti UK spec (8.74 s), Toyota Yaris 1.5 VVT-i 125 (Mk4) (8.83 s), Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1.8 121 (8.84 s). Each one can be raced against the Peugeot 405 1.9 125 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 Peugeot 405 1.9 125 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.
