Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200

The Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 reaches 60 mph in 6.79 s (100 km/h in 7.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.20 s, tripping the lights at 95.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s and the eighth mile in 9.99 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 CS 2.3 Turbo 200

The 1991 Saab 9000 CS 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 2.69 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 4,309th quickest to 60 mph, and the 9th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 95.1 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 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 0-60 time?
The Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 reaches 60 mph in 6.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,309th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200 quarter mile time?
15.20 s at 95.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.69 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9000 CS 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 230 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo 200?
Closest here on pace: Dodge Avenger 3.5 V6 238 (6.77 s), Lexus SC 300 228 (6.73 s), Lexus GS 200t 244 (6.86 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9000 CS 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 CS 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.
