Ferrari 400 GTi

The Ferrari 400 GTi reaches 60 mph in 6.98 s (100 km/h in 7.29 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.33 s, tripping the lights at 96.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.15 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 400 GTi

The 1979 Ferrari 400 GTi is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,815 kg with 311 bhp, which works out at 171 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 171 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.72 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,597th quickest to 60 mph, and the 115th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 96.8 mph, the 3,294th 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 400 GTi 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 400 GTi reaches 60 mph in 6.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,597th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 400 GTi quarter mile time?
15.33 s at 96.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.15 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 400 GTi have?
311 bhp and 1,815 kg, which is 171 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 248 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 400 GTi?
Closest here on pace: Citroen BX 4TC (6.90 s), Mercedes-AMG 500 SEL Series I 269 PS (6.80 s), Iso Rivolta Lele IR6 (329 PS) (6.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 400 GTi 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 400 GTi 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.
