Had a thought when commuting in boring diesel hatchback this morning – how far back in time would I have to go before my car could win a Grand Prix? I’m guessing in the 1930s but that’s a complete guess and not really based on anything other than stuff got a lot more advanced in WW2 so were probably quicker after that…

Car is a 2 litre diesel A3 –
0 to 62 mph 8.5 secs
Max power 150 PS @ 3200 rpm
Max torque 340 Nm @ 1750 rpm
Top speed 135 mph
Unladen weight 1275 kg
