Samsung SM 3 1.5 100

The Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.67 s (100 km/h in 11.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.03 s, tripping the lights at 78.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s and the eighth mile in 11.75 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.

About the SM 3 1.5 100

The 2002 Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,161 kg with 98 bhp, which works out at 84 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.07 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 11,202nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 4 Samsungs here. Its 78.4 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 Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 0-60 time?
The Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 reaches 60 mph in 10.67 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,202nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 quarter mile time?
18.03 s at 78.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 have?
98 bhp and 1,161 kg, which is 84 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 183 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Samsung SM 3 1.5 100?
Closest here on pace: Honda Accord 1.8 100 (10.66 s), Mitsubishi Galant 1.8i 90 (10.65 s), Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 113 HP (10.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 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 Samsung SM 3 1.5 100 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.
