Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263

The Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s (100 km/h in 6.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.90 s, tripping the lights at 97.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s and the eighth mile in 9.81 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the CL Type S 3.2 V6 263

The 2001 Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,592 kg with 256 bhp, which works out at 161 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.59 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,660th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 8th quickest of the 25 Acuras here. Its 97.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 0-60 time?
The Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,660th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 quarter mile time?
14.90 s at 97.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.81 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.59 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 have?
256 bhp and 1,592 kg, which is 161 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 220 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 2.8T XWD (6.37 s), Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 253 (6.34 s), Rover 75 4.6 V8 (6.39 s). Each one can be raced against the Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Acura CL Type S 3.2 V6 263 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
