The Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 95 reaches 60 mph in 9.50 s (100 km/h in 10.10 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.21 s, tripping the lights at 79.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.66 s and the eighth mile in 11.01 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.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 2003 Smart forfour 1.5 CDi 95 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 1,085 kg with 94 bhp, which works out at 87 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.66 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 9,282nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 15th quickest of the 24 Smarts here. It leaves better than it pulls: 79.7 mph at the lights is only the 10,195th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
