Seat Ibiza Cupra Tdi 7.78 0-60 21.65 0-100. Don't tell Crusoe 
Mind you, those figures are all rubbish anyway as they're all theoretical:
You can't ignore gear ratios, or the shape of the torque curve when doing this stuff. Peak power means nothing.

Remarkably the formulas have been set-up for just 3 items of easy available data: BHP, Weight (KG) and drive type. We also list a 'through 60-100mph' time, a true indication of a cars acceleration once moving. We do not take into fact the torque, gear ratios or aerodynamics because this data is not easily available.
