Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 vs Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 is the quicker car, covering it in 16.43 s at 85.6 mph against the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80’s 19.16 s — a margin of 2.73 s. To 60 mph the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 takes 8.37 s and the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 12.47 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 Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 or the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 faster?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 16.43 s to the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80's 19.16 s, a margin of 2.73 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s against 12.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 0-60 time?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 reaches 60 mph in 8.37 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.43 s at 85.6 mph.
What is the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 0-60 time?
The Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 reaches 60 mph in 12.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.16 s at 73.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 trips the lights at 85.6 mph and the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80 at 73.5 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 Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 and 2 of 2 for the Nissan Note 1.2 MPI 80. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
