Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200

The Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s (100 km/h in 8.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.97 s, tripping the lights at 91.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s and the eighth mile in 10.56 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200

The 1994 Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,410 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 140 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.85 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 5,622nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 16th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 91.3 mph, the 4,715th 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.

Questions

What is the Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 0-60 time?
The Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 reaches 60 mph in 7.53 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,622nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 quarter mile time?
15.97 s at 91.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.56 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.85 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 have?
197 bhp and 1,410 kg, which is 140 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 275 (7.53 s), Lexus IS Sport Cross 300 214 (7.66 s), Infiniti Q50 2.0 T 211 (7.66 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 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 9000 CD 2.3 Turbo 200 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.
