Alpina Roadster V8

The Alpina Roadster V8 reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s (100 km/h in 5.00 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.10 s, tripping the lights at 105.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s and the eighth mile in 8.47 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.24 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 Roadster V8

The 2002 Alpina Roadster V8 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,619 kg with 375 bhp, which works out at 232 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 232 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.01 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,922nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 36th quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. Its 105.6 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 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alpina Roadster V8 0-60 time?
The Alpina Roadster V8 reaches 60 mph in 4.77 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,922nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina Roadster V8 quarter mile time?
13.10 s at 105.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.01 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina Roadster V8 have?
375 bhp and 1,619 kg, which is 232 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 260 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina Roadster V8?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Exige S (4.74 s), Lotus Elise Sport Racer (4.77 s), Jaguar XKR convertible (4.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina Roadster V8 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 Alpina Roadster V8 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
