SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125

The SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 reaches 60 mph in 9.39 s (100 km/h in 9.92 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.12 s, tripping the lights at 83.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s and the eighth mile in 11.19 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 Leon 1.8 20V 125

The 2000 SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,221 kg with 123 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.94 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 9,116th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 192 SEATs here. Its 83.0 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 Leon 1.8 20V 125 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 reaches 60 mph in 9.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,116th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 quarter mile time?
17.12 s at 83.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.19 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 have?
123 bhp and 1,221 kg, which is 101 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125?
Closest here on pace: Fiat Brava 1.8 113 (9.39 s), Renault Modus 1.6 16V 113 (9.38 s), Lancia Delta 1.8 113 (9.39 s). Each one can be raced against the SEAT Leon 1.8 20V 125 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 Leon 1.8 20V 125 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.
