The Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 reaches 60 mph in 8.26 s (100 km/h in 9.24 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.63 s, tripping the lights at 85.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s and the eighth mile in 10.89 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and

About the DMC-12 2.8 V6 132
The 1981 Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,233 kg with 130 bhp, which works out at 105 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 105 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.86 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,025th quickest to 60 mph. Its 85.6 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 0-60 time?
The Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 reaches 60 mph in 8.26 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,025th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 quarter mile time?
16.63 s at 85.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 have?
130 bhp and 1,233 kg, which is 105 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 209 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132?
Closest here on pace: Peugeot 407 Coupe 2.2 16V 163 (8.38 s), Ford Focus Coupe 2.0 140 (8.37 s), Peugeot 407 Coupe 2.0 HDi 163 (8.22 s). Each one can be raced against the Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 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 Delorean DMC-12 2.8 V6 132 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
