NQbbe Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've got the 125bhp Zetec S ecoboost, and I was wondering what acceleration times are for e.g. 50-70, 30-50 etc. (The common overtaking accelerations) Does anyone know of some official numbers, or a test which has these numbers ? EDIT: There are theoritical times here, still I'd like some measured times as well :) (Link: http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/2013/1817180/ford_fiesta_1_0_ecoboost_125_titanium.html) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 My test times were ..........forever, remarkably the car went a lot quicker to the Ford garage to be exchanged for an ST. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 So timing that Fiesta one on the way home, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Taken from the Fiesta Brochure: 1.0 EcoBoost (125PS): 31-62 mph (in 4th gear): 12.2 secs. Just bear in mind you can sometimes get a faster overtake in a lower gear, my Focus can do 30-60 a LOT faster in 3rd than 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bear in mind you can sometimes get a faster overtake in a lower gear, my Focus can do 30-60 a LOT faster in 3rd than 4th. Agreed, but everyone elses times are quicker as well - for example, my 40-60mph is 3 sec in 3rd (3.03 to be exact - did not do/ cannot find a 30-60), some of the supercars have 1 second times in the lower gears, (Ferarri f430 40-60mph - 1.1 seconds/ through gears) My modified diesel (lets not make this another petrol vs diesel thing) is quicker than the Ferrari f430 50-70mph in top, but in the lower gears the Ferrari is a lot quicker than mine - the Ferarris 0-60 is 3.5seconds, mine is a lot slower - over 6 seconds (im working on this) - but we are looking at the in - gear acceleration times What is the 50-70mph acceleration in top of the Focus 1.0L ecoboost 125PS? (i would like to add it to my list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app This link ("automobile catalog") has a slower 50-70mph in 5th than the one i posted (6.3sec vs 6.0sec) for the Fiesta ST2 - but the 50-70mph in top is the same (7.9sec) http://www.automobile-catalog.com/performance/2013/1845800/ford_fiesta_st.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
