How Caralogy calculates these lap times
All values are produced by the Caralogy physics simulation engine from mass, SCx, power curve, max wheel torque, transmission ratio and traction. They may differ from published measurements as lap times vary by test protocol, specimen and conditions. Our goal is to provide comparable lap times across vehicles.
Rear-wheel drive: weight transfer aids rear grip, but high torque can cause wheelspin.
Analysis
Nissan Leaf 40kWh ZE1 performance analysis
+0,2 s vs the manufacturer figure
The Nissan Leaf 40kWh ZE1 reaches 100 km/h in 8,1 s in our simulation, i.e. +0,2 s against the 7,9 s quoted by the manufacturer. Performance times vary with many factors: test conditions (temperature, road surface, wind, tyres), the specific car tested (press vehicles are often in optimal trim), the measurement protocol of each tester, and the driver. That is why Autocar, Car and Driver or MotorTrend can quote different times for the same model. Caralogy does not try to reproduce those conditions — they are not reproducible at scale — but to provide times that are comparable between vehicles, computed under identical simulation conditions.
Rear-wheel drive — rear grip off the line
With rear-wheel drive, weight transfer at launch loads the rear wheels, which helps grip. But high torque can still cause wheelspin, especially on a wet surface.
0–200 km/h and high speeds
At high speed, aerodynamic drag grows with the square of velocity. CdA and peak power become the deciding factors.
Position within the {0} segment
Where does the {0} stand against the other cars in its segment? Nissan Leaf 40kWh ZE1 sits among the cars of its segment. Times are compared under identical simulation conditions, so the ranking is fair.
