Samsung SM5 2.0 144

The Samsung SM5 2.0 144 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s (100 km/h in 9.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.78 s, tripping the lights at 84.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 10.97 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 2.0 144

The 1998 Samsung SM5 2.0 144 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,445 kg with 142 bhp, which works out at 98 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 98 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.87 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,305th quickest to 60 mph, and the quickest of the 4 Samsungs here. Its 84.5 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 2.0 144 0-60 time?
The Samsung SM5 2.0 144 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,305th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Samsung SM5 2.0 144 quarter mile time?
16.78 s at 84.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.97 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Samsung SM5 2.0 144 have?
142 bhp and 1,445 kg, which is 98 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 203 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Samsung SM5 2.0 144?
Closest here on pace: Citroen XM 2.0 136 (8.93 s), Lancia Kappa 2.0 146 (8.93 s), Nissan Primera Sedan 2.0 16V 125 (8.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Samsung SM5 2.0 144 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 2.0 144 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.
