Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71

The Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 reaches 60 mph in 11.77 s (100 km/h in 12.56 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.27 s, tripping the lights at 73.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s and the eighth mile in 11.58 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 Indica 1.4 TD 71

The 1998 Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 is a front-drive turbodiesel car of 930 kg with 70 bhp, which works out at 75 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.70 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 12,578th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 9 Tata Motorss here. Its 73.5 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 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.

Questions

What is the Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 0-60 time?
The Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 reaches 60 mph in 11.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,578th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 quarter mile time?
18.27 s at 73.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.58 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 have?
70 bhp and 930 kg, which is 75 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 150 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71?
Closest here on pace: Dacia 1310 1.6 72 (1994) (11.76 s), Dacia 1310 1.6 72 (1999) (11.76 s), Subaru Trezia 1.4D 90 (11.70 s). Each one can be raced against the Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 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 Tata Motors Indica 1.4 TD 71 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.
