Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170

The Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 reaches 60 mph in 5.35 s (100 km/h in 5.69 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.10 s, tripping the lights at 95.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s and the eighth mile in 8.96 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 Roadster Coupe 1.4 170

The 2003 Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 is a rear-drive turbocharged roadster of 840 kg with 168 bhp, which works out at 200 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 200 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,518th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 6th quickest of the 24 Smarts here. It leaves better than it pulls: 95.8 mph at the lights is only the 3,503rd 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.

Questions

What is the Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 0-60 time?
The Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 reaches 60 mph in 5.35 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,518th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 quarter mile time?
14.10 s at 95.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.96 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 have?
168 bhp and 840 kg, which is 200 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170?
Closest here on pace: Honda S2000 Type V (5.37 s), Lotus Exige (5.32 s), Honda S2000 Type S (5.47 s). Each one can be raced against the Smart Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 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 Roadster Coupe 1.4 170 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
