The Video Evaluates the Performance of the Corsa 1.0 1998 Before Maintenance, Showing How the 60-Horsepower Engine Still Delivers When Reaching Unexpected Speeds Even with Visible Failures
In the video from the Cars with Tiago channel, the influencer decides to answer a common question among fans of classic models: what is the maximum speed the Corsa 1.0 1998, with a 60-horsepower engine, can reach.
He also questions whether this performance surpasses that of models such as Uno and Gol, and if the state of maintenance influences the result.
Tiago begins the test by making it clear that he will measure the top speed in two stages. First, he evaluates the car before maintenance.

Three Chinese brands have already secured their presence in Brazil in 2026 and promise to heat up the competition with SUVs, technology, a network of stores, and even cars that can be maneuvered by remote control.

After praising even the Xiaomi SU7, the CEO of Ford changes his tone, speaks of a devastating risk for the U.S., and reveals why Chinese cars scare the American industry so much.

Brazil and Argentina finalize a pact to shield the automotive sector from the pressure of Chinese cars and promise new rules by 2029, with productive integration and attraction of investments.

While Mazda succeeded with the rotary engine, China attempted to apply it in trucks, but the low torque, high consumption, and wear led to the failure of the TJ140 project.
Then, he promises to repeat the procedure after reviewing the vehicle to compare the numbers. He emphasizes that the current car has noticeable failures, as it stutters a lot at low revs and the injection light comes on.
During the initial test, Tiago narrates the gears and speeds in real-time. He records 110 km/h in fourth gear at the start of the acceleration.
Next, the car reaches 140 km/h still in fourth. He maintains the acceleration and comments that the engine can deliver a little more, reaching 150 km/h in the same gear before shifting to fifth.
As he moves to fifth gear, Tiago continues accelerating to find the Corsa’s limit. He explains that despite the mechanical failures, the engine responds until reaching 160 km/h.
After that, he notices that the performance starts to stabilize. He insists for a few more seconds and sees the dashboard indicate approximately 165 km/h.
Even with plenty of open road, he decides to end the attempt because the speed does not exceed that point. According to Tiago, this is the top speed of the Corsa 1.0 1998 with 60 horsepower in its current condition, without the promised maintenance.
Expectation for the Test After Review
At the end of the recording, Tiago reiterates that he will still perform a complete maintenance of the vehicle. He believes that the performance may improve after the service since the car has stutters and the injection light remains on during the test.
The intent is to repeat the exact same procedure to show the audience whether the review changes the maximum speed or not.
He reminds that many drivers distrust the capability of small engines, which is why he considers it important to show real numbers in similar situations. The channel promises to release the new test soon to finalize the comparison between the Corsa before and after the repair.
