SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997)

The SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) reaches 60 mph in 11.10 s (100 km/h in 11.86 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.19 s, tripping the lights at 75.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s and the eighth mile in 11.63 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 Arosa 1.4 TDI 75

The 1997 SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 935 kg with 74 bhp, which works out at 79 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.82 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 11,789th quickest to 60 mph, and the 103rd quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 75.2 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 SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) 0-60 time?
The SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) reaches 60 mph in 11.10 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,789th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) quarter mile time?
18.19 s at 75.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.82 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) have?
74 bhp and 935 kg, which is 79 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 170 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997)?
Closest here on pace: Lancia Dedra 1.9d Turbo 92 (11.14 s), Lancia Ypsilon 0.9 TwinAir 84 (11.03 s), Honda Jazz/Fit 1.4i CVT 83 (11.13 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) 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 SEAT Arosa 1.4 TDI 75 (1997) 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.
