Questions

Is the SEAT Leon Cupra 290 or the Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3) faster?
The SEAT Leon Cupra 290. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 13.55 s to the Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3)'s 16.01 s, a margin of 2.46 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 5.19 s against 7.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the SEAT Leon Cupra 290 0-60 time?
The SEAT Leon Cupra 290 reaches 60 mph in 5.19 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 13.55 s at 105.3 mph.
What is the Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3) 0-60 time?
The Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3) reaches 60 mph in 7.70 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.01 s at 87.5 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The SEAT Leon Cupra 290 trips the lights at 105.3 mph and the Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3) at 87.5 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 — 9 of 10 for the SEAT Leon Cupra 290 and 2 of 2 for the Skoda Octavia Estate 2.0 TDI 150 (Mk3). Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
