SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100

The SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 reaches 60 mph in 11.75 s (100 km/h in 12.38 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.03 s, tripping the lights at 78.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.40 s and the eighth mile in 12.72 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 Cordoba 1.6 100

The 1999 SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,130 kg with 99 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.40 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 12,556th quickest to 60 mph, and the 119th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 78.3 mph, the 10,914th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. 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 SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 0-60 time?
The SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 reaches 60 mph in 11.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,556th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 quarter mile time?
19.03 s at 78.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.40 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 have?
99 bhp and 1,130 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 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 SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100?
Closest here on pace: Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.3 68 (1996) (11.82 s), Suzuki Swift 3dr 1.3 68 (1991) (11.82 s), Suzuki Swift 5dr 1.3 68 (1991) (11.82 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 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 SEAT Cordoba 1.6 100 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.
