The 1998 Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.0 T 150 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,585 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.36 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 12,189th quickest to 60 mph, and the 81st quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 78.4 mph, the 10,867th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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.
