Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67

The Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 reaches 60 mph in 12.48 s (100 km/h in 13.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.94 s, tripping the lights at 72.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s and the eighth mile in 12.08 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 CDi 67

The 2003 Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,085 kg with 67 bhp, which works out at 62 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.92 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 13,233rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 20th quickest of the 24 Smarts here. Its 72.0 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 Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 0-60 time?
The Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 reaches 60 mph in 12.48 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,233rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 quarter mile time?
18.94 s at 72.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.08 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 have?
67 bhp and 1,085 kg, which is 62 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 159 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67?
Closest here on pace: MINI Hatch One 1.4 75 (2001) (12.46 s), Kia Rio 1.4 77 (12.64 s), Suzuki Splash 1.3 DDiS 75 (12.53 s). Each one can be raced against the Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 67 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 CDi 67 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.
