Questions

What is the fastest small car?

The Audi Sport Quattro (1984), which reaches 60 mph in 4.30 s. It is the quickest of the 60 small cars listed here. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which small car is quickest over the quarter mile?

The Audi Sport Quattro again, in 12.93 s at 105.2 mph — it leads both the 0-60 and the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which small car has the highest trap speed?

The Audi Sport Quattro at 105.2 mph through the quarter-mile lights. Trap speed tracks power against weight, so it rewards a different car from the one that launches best. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How many small cars are listed?

60, ranked by simulated 0-60 mph time, from the Audi Sport Quattro at 4.30 s to the MINI Hatch 5dr Cooper SD 2.0 170 at 6.67 s.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure here is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces its own published acceleration figures. Because every car is run in identical conditions — dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout — the ranking is a fair comparison even though no individual time is a timing slip.
