Subaru XT Turbo

The Subaru XT Turbo reaches 60 mph in 8.97 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.83 s, tripping the lights at 84.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s and the eighth mile in 10.97 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 XT Turbo

The 1985 Subaru XT Turbo is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,170 kg with 134 bhp, which works out at 115 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.86 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,798th quickest to 60 mph, and the 28th quickest of the 28 Subarus here. Its 84.1 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 7 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Subaru XT Turbo?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Bluebird 1.8 ZX Turbo Pre-Facelift T12 (8.94 s), Toyota Yaris 1.5 VVT-i 125 (Mk4) (8.83 s), Ford Puma 1.7 125 Mk I (8.76 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru XT Turbo in the panel at the top of this page.
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 XT Turbo is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
