SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129

The SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s (100 km/h in 8.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.30 s, tripping the lights at 87.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.64 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 SX 1.8 129

The 1996 SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,050 kg with 127 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 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 7,088th quickest to 60 mph, and the 43rd quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 87.0 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 Cordoba SX 1.8 129 0-60 time?
The SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 reaches 60 mph in 8.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,088th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 quarter mile time?
16.30 s at 87.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.64 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 have?
127 bhp and 1,050 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 206 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 145 1.8 TS 144 (8.28 s), Hyundai Elantra 4dr 2.0i 141 (8.28 s), Citroen Visa 1.6 105 (8.28 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Cordoba SX 1.8 129 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 SX 1.8 129 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.
