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.
