Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130

The Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.75 s (100 km/h in 9.31 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.76 s, tripping the lights at 83.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 10.79 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 I 1.9 TDI 130

The 1997 Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 is a front-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,270 kg with 129 bhp, which works out at 101 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.55 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 7,966th quickest to 60 mph, and the 43rd quickest of the 178 Skodas here. Its 83.3 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 Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 0-60 time?
The Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 reaches 60 mph in 8.75 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,966th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 quarter mile time?
16.76 s at 83.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 have?
129 bhp and 1,270 kg, which is 101 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 207 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130?
Closest here on pace: Citroen DS5 160 HDi 163 (8.80 s), Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2 JTDM 136 (8.75 s), Cadillac CTS 2.6 V6 178 (8.80 s). Each one can be raced against the Skoda Octavia I 1.9 TDI 130 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 I 1.9 TDI 130 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.
