Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 is the quicker car,
covering it in 19.94 s at
70.6 mph against the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60’s
20.36 s — a margin of
0.42 s. To 60 mph the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 takes
13.89 s and the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60
15.41 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70,
2/2 for the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 or the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60 faster?
The Ford Ka+ 1.2 70. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 19.94 s to the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60's 20.36 s, a margin of 0.42 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 13.89 s against 15.41 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 0-60 time?
The Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 reaches 60 mph in 13.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.94 s at 70.6 mph.
What is the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60 reaches 60 mph in 15.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 20.36 s at 68.7 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Ka+ 1.2 70 trips the lights at 70.6 mph and the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60 at 68.7 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 Ka+ 1.2 70 and 2 of 2 for the Vauxhall Corsa 3dr 1.0 60. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
