Subaru Impreza GT Turbo

The Subaru Impreza GT Turbo reaches 60 mph in 5.52 s (100 km/h in 5.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.11 s, tripping the lights at 95.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s and the eighth mile in 9.00 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 Impreza GT Turbo

The 1998 Subaru Impreza GT Turbo is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged estate of 1,230 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 174 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.99 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,694th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 25th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. Its 95.5 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 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo 0-60 time?
The Subaru Impreza GT Turbo reaches 60 mph in 5.52 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,694th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo quarter mile time?
14.11 s at 95.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.00 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo have?
215 bhp and 1,230 kg, which is 174 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.6 V6 322 (5.68 s), Cadillac ATS (5.53 s), Peugeot 208 GTi Peugeot Sport (5.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Impreza GT Turbo 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 Subaru Impreza GT Turbo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
