Smart forfour 1.5 109

The Smart forfour 1.5 109 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s (100 km/h in 9.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.84 s, tripping the lights at 83.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s and the eighth mile in 10.93 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 forfour 1.5 109

The 2003 Smart forfour 1.5 109 is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 975 kg with 107 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.81 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 8,283rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 14th quickest of the 24 Smarts here. Its 83.5 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 Smart forfour 1.5 109 0-60 time?
The Smart forfour 1.5 109 reaches 60 mph in 8.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,283rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Smart forfour 1.5 109 quarter mile time?
16.84 s at 83.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.81 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Smart forfour 1.5 109 have?
107 bhp and 975 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Smart forfour 1.5 109?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 33 1.5 105 (8.92 s), Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6i 113 (8.93 s), Daihatsu Applause 1.6 105 (8.92 s). Each one can be raced against the Smart forfour 1.5 109 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 Smart forfour 1.5 109 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.
