Callaway C12

The Callaway C12 reaches 60 mph in 4.70 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.07 s, tripping the lights at 113.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s and the eighth mile in 8.61 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.66 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 C12

The 1999 Callaway C12 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,565 kg with 394 bhp, which works out at 252 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 252 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.19 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,219th quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 3 Callaways here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 113.1 mph, the 850th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

13.07 s at 113.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.19 s.
How much power does the Callaway C12 have?
394 bhp and 1,565 kg, which is 252 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 295 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Callaway C12?
Closest here on pace: Fpv FG F6 (4.66 s), Pontiac G8 GXP (4.68 s), Rolls-Royce Ghost Mk I facelift (4.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Callaway C12 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 Callaway C12 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.
