About the 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160

The 1986 Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 is a front-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,330 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.65 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 7,911th quickest to 60 mph, and the 41st quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 83.5 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 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 0-60 time?

The Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 reaches 60 mph in 8.72 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,911th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 quarter mile time?

16.53 s at 83.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.66 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.65 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 have?

158 bhp and 1,330 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 205 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160?

Closest here on pace: Smart Roadster Coupe Brabus 0.7 101 (8.83 s), Mazda MX-5 1.6 Mk I (8.81 s), Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 120 HP (8.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 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 900 Cabrio 2.0 Turbo 160 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
