Ford Mondeo 2.3 vs Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ford Mondeo 2.3 is the quicker car,
covering it in 18.04 s at
81.0 mph against the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)’s
19.16 s — a margin of
1.12 s. To 60 mph the Ford Mondeo 2.3 takes
10.39 s and the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)
12.45 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 —
9/9 for the Ford Mondeo 2.3,
2/2 for the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Ford Mondeo 2.3 or the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) faster?
The Ford Mondeo 2.3. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 18.04 s to the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005)'s 19.16 s, a margin of 1.12 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 10.39 s against 12.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ford Mondeo 2.3 0-60 time?
The Ford Mondeo 2.3 reaches 60 mph in 10.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 18.04 s at 81.0 mph.
What is the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) reaches 60 mph in 12.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 19.16 s at 73.2 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ford Mondeo 2.3 trips the lights at 81.0 mph and the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005) at 73.2 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 — 9 of 9 for the Ford Mondeo 2.3 and 2 of 2 for the Ford Fusion European 1.4 80 (2005). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
