Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s (100 km/h in 4.34 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.48 s, tripping the lights at 117.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s and the eighth mile in 8.18 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.57 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 8C Competizione

The 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,400 kg with 444 bhp, which works out at 317 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 317 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.06 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,265th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 5th quickest of the 268 Alfa Romeos here. Its 117.2 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 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 0-60 time?
The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,265th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione quarter mile time?
12.48 s at 117.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione have?
444 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 317 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 306 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione?
Closest here on pace: Ruf BTR 3.4 (4.16 s), Dodge Viper GTS (4.14 s), Lotus Exige S Roadster (4.05 s). Each one can be raced against the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione 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 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
