Ferrari 456M GT

The Ferrari 456M GT reaches 60 mph in 5.17 s (100 km/h in 5.41 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.75 s, tripping the lights at 104.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s and the eighth mile in 8.99 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.71 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 456M GT

The 1998 Ferrari 456M GT is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,690 kg with 436 bhp, which works out at 258 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 258 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.30 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,333rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 75th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 104.5 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 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 456M GT 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 456M GT reaches 60 mph in 5.17 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,333rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 456M GT quarter mile time?
13.75 s at 104.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 456M GT have?
436 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 258 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 300 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 456M GT?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XKR Coupe (5.19 s), Donkervoort D8 1.8 Turbo 150 (5.33 s), Jaguar XKR (1998) (5.25 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 456M GT 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 456M GT 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.
