Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z

The Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z reaches 60 mph in 7.27 s (100 km/h in 7.70 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.68 s, tripping the lights at 89.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s and the eighth mile in 10.15 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 Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z

The 2008 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,325 kg with 158 bhp, which works out at 119 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.51 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 5,128th quickest to 60 mph, and the 17th quickest of the 178 Skodas here. Its 89.7 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 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z 0-60 time?
The Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z reaches 60 mph in 7.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,128th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z quarter mile time?
15.68 s at 89.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.51 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z have?
158 bhp and 1,325 kg, which is 119 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 223 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z?
Closest here on pace: VW Golf GTD 3dr 2.0 TDI 170 DCT (7.28 s), VW Golf GTD 5dr 2.0 TDI 170 DCT (7.28 s), Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.4 140 (7.28 s). Each one can be raced against the Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z 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 Skoda Octavia 1.8 TSI 1Z is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
