Ferrari 512 M

The Ferrari 512 M reaches 60 mph in 4.43 s (100 km/h in 4.61 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.77 s, tripping the lights at 113.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s and the eighth mile in 8.38 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.25 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 512 M

The 1995 Ferrari 512 M is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,482 kg with 434 bhp, which works out at 293 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 293 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.13 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,578th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 66th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 113.9 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 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ferrari 512 M 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 512 M reaches 60 mph in 4.43 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,578th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 512 M quarter mile time?
12.77 s at 113.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 512 M have?
434 bhp and 1,482 kg, which is 293 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 315 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 512 M?
Closest here on pace: Lamborghini Diablo VT (4.30 s), Lotus Esprit Sport 300 (4.42 s), TVR Griffith 500 (4.46 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 512 M 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 512 M is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
