Questions

Is the Fiat 500 1.2 69 or the Fiat 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160 faster?
The Fiat 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.26 s to the Fiat 500 1.2 69's 18.74 s, a margin of 3.48 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 6.66 s against 11.69 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 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160 0-60 time?
The Fiat 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160 reaches 60 mph in 6.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.26 s at 92.0 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Fiat 500 1.2 69 trips the lights at 74.2 mph and the Fiat 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160 at 92.0 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 500C Abarth esseesse 1.4 160. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
