Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120

The Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 reaches 60 mph in 11.79 s (100 km/h in 12.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.63 s, tripping the lights at 75.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.16 s and the eighth mile in 12.10 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 9-5 2.2 TiD 120

The 2001 Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,550 kg with 118 bhp, which works out at 76 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.16 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 12,607th quickest to 60 mph, and the 82nd quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 75.9 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 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 Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 reaches 60 mph in 11.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,607th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 quarter mile time?
18.63 s at 75.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.10 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.16 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 have?
118 bhp and 1,550 kg, which is 76 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120?
Closest here on pace: SEAT Toledo 1.6 102 (11.77 s), Lada Kalina Sedan 1.6i 81 (11.82 s), SEAT Altea XL 1.6 102 (11.86 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 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 Saab 9-5 2.2 TiD 120 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.
