Brabham BT64

The Brabham BT64 reaches 60 mph in 3.51 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.54 s, tripping the lights at 126.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s and the eighth mile in 7.55 s, reaching 100 mph in 7.43 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 BT64

The 2009 Brabham BT64 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,797 kg with 605 bhp, which works out at 337 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 337 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.89 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 517th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 126.4 mph, the 296th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

11.54 s at 126.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.55 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.89 s.
How much power does the Brabham BT64 have?
605 bhp and 1,797 kg, which is 337 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 330 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Brabham BT64?
Closest here on pace: Mclaren Mercedes SLR Roadster (3.46 s), TVR Tuscan S Mk II (3.44 s), Jaguar F-type R AWD (3.43 s). Each one can be raced against the Brabham BT64 in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Brabham BT64 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.
