Fiat 500 1.2 69 vs Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Fiat 500 1.2 69 is the quicker car, covering it in 18.74 s at 74.2 mph against the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73’s 21.53 s — a margin of 2.79 s. To 60 mph the Fiat 500 1.2 69 takes 11.69 s and the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 17.27 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Questions

Is the Fiat 500 1.2 69 or the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 faster?
The Fiat 500 1.2 69. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.74 s to the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73's 21.53 s, a margin of 2.79 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 11.69 s against 17.27 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Fiat 500 1.2 69 0-60 time?
The Fiat 500 1.2 69 reaches 60 mph in 11.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.74 s at 74.2 mph.
What is the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 0-60 time?
The Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 reaches 60 mph in 17.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 21.53 s at 66.8 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Fiat 500 1.2 69 trips the lights at 74.2 mph and the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73 at 66.8 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page 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 matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Fiat 500 1.2 69 and 2 of 2 for the Fiat 1500 L 1.5 73. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
