Bentley Continental GT Mk I

The Bentley Continental GT Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.76 s (100 km/h in 4.98 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.19 s, tripping the lights at 109.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s and the eighth mile in 8.63 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.35 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 Continental GT Mk I

The 2003 Bentley Continental GT Mk I is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 2,350 kg with 551 bhp, which works out at 235 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.21 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,914th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 53rd quickest of the 70 Bentleys here. Its 109.0 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 8 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Bentley Continental GT Mk I 0-60 time?
The Bentley Continental GT Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,914th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bentley Continental GT Mk I quarter mile time?
13.19 s at 109.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.63 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bentley Continental GT Mk I have?
551 bhp and 2,350 kg, which is 235 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 323 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bentley Continental GT Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Aston Martin V8 Vantage Mk I 385 PS (4.76 s), TVR Chimaera 4.0 400 V8 243 (4.69 s), Lotus Europa S 2.0 Turbo 222 (4.80 s). Each one can be raced against the Bentley Continental GT Mk I 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 Bentley Continental GT Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.
