Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 vs Ford Mondeo 2.3

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 is the quicker car, covering it in 17.96 s at 79.4 mph against the Ford Mondeo 2.3’s 18.04 s — a margin of 0.08 s. To 60 mph the Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 takes 10.46 s and the Ford Mondeo 2.3 10.39 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.

What is the Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 0-60 time?
The Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 reaches 60 mph in 10.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.96 s at 79.4 mph.
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 trap speed does each car run?
The Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 trips the lights at 79.4 mph and the Ford Mondeo 2.3 at 81.0 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 Vauxhall Insignia Sedan 1.8 140 and 9 of 9 for the Ford Mondeo 2.3. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
