The 1960 Aston Martin DB4 Zagato is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,150 kg with 310 bhp, which works out at 269 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 269 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,461st quickest to 60 mph, and the 80th quickest of the 84 Aston Martins here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 99.7 mph, the 2,791st highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 7 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
