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.

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.
