Excalibur SS Roadster (304 PS) Series 1

The Excalibur SS Roadster (304 PS) Series 1 reaches 60 mph in 6.16 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.43 s, tripping the lights at 106.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.50 s and the eighth mile in 9.65 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.09 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 SS Roadster (304 PS) Series 1

The 1965 Excalibur SS Roadster (304 PS) Series 1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,066 kg with 300 bhp, which works out at 282 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 282 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.50 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,020th quickest to 60 mph. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 106.0 mph, the 1,251st 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.

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 Excalibur SS Roadster (304 PS) Series 1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 7 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
