Ferrari 250 GTO

The Ferrari 250 GTO reaches 60 mph in 5.57 s (100 km/h in 5.78 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.62 s, tripping the lights at 110.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s and the eighth mile in 9.09 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.39 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the 250 GTO

The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,100 kg with 296 bhp, which works out at 269 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 269 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.42 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,757th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 83rd quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 110.1 mph, the 1,375th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Ferrari 250 GTO 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 250 GTO reaches 60 mph in 5.57 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,757th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 250 GTO quarter mile time?
13.62 s at 110.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.09 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 250 GTO have?
296 bhp and 1,100 kg, which is 269 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 280 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 250 GTO?
Closest here on pace: Plymouth HEMI Cuda (5.60 s), Dodge Charger R/T Hemi (5.55 s), Lister Jaguar XJ-S 6.0 (5.52 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 250 GTO 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 Ferrari 250 GTO is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.
