Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989)

The Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) reaches 60 mph in 12.52 s (100 km/h in 13.20 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 19.55 s, tripping the lights at 77.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.34 s and the eighth mile in 13.17 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 Starlet 3dr 1.3 75

The 1989 Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 805 kg with 74 bhp, which works out at 92 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.34 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 13,267th quickest to 60 mph, and the 271st quickest of the 311 Toyotas here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 77.9 mph, the 11,195th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) 0-60 time?
The Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) reaches 60 mph in 12.52 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,267th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) quarter mile time?
19.55 s at 77.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.17 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.34 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) have?
74 bhp and 805 kg, which is 92 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 165 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989)?
Closest here on pace: MINI Hatch Cooper 1.3 63 (12.52 s), Daihatsu Cuore 1.0 69 (12.78 s), Holden Astra 5dr 1.4 90 (12.47 s). Each one can be raced against the Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) 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 Toyota Starlet 3dr 1.3 75 (1989) 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.
