Samsung SM5 1.8 134

The Samsung SM5 1.8 134 reaches 60 mph in 9.57 s (100 km/h in 10.11 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.29 s, tripping the lights at 81.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s and the eighth mile in 11.24 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 SM5 1.8 134

The 1998 Samsung SM5 1.8 134 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,321 kg with 131 bhp, which works out at 99 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 99 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,405th quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 4 Samsungs here. Its 81.5 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.

Questions

What is the Samsung SM5 1.8 134 0-60 time?
The Samsung SM5 1.8 134 reaches 60 mph in 9.57 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,405th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Samsung SM5 1.8 134 quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 81.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.24 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Samsung SM5 1.8 134 have?
131 bhp and 1,321 kg, which is 99 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 188 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Samsung SM5 1.8 134?
Closest here on pace: Saab 900 2.0 130 (9.58 s), Nissan Primera Traveller 2.0 16V 116 (9.57 s), Hyundai Lantra 1.6i 114 (1998) (9.57 s). Each one can be raced against the Samsung SM5 1.8 134 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 SM5 1.8 134 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.
