Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986)

The Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) reaches 60 mph in 13.68 s (100 km/h in 14.55 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.87 s, tripping the lights at 73.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.52 s and the eighth mile in 13.08 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 9 1.4 68

The 1986 Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 835 kg with 67 bhp, which works out at 80 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.52 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 13,994th quickest to 60 mph, and the 434th quickest of the 499 Renaults here. Its 73.2 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 Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) 0-60 time?
The Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) reaches 60 mph in 13.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,994th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) quarter mile time?
19.87 s at 73.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) have?
67 bhp and 835 kg, which is 80 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 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 Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986)?
Closest here on pace: Daihatsu Trevis 1.0 58 (13.63 s), Nissan Micra 5dr 1.0 71 (13.72 s), Dacia Sandero 2 1.2 16V LPG 75 (13.74 s). Each one can be raced against the Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) 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 Renault 9 1.4 68 (1986) 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.
