Ferrari 550 Maranello

The Ferrari 550 Maranello reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s (100 km/h in 4.36 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.51 s, tripping the lights at 115.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s and the eighth mile in 8.18 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.77 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 550 Maranello

The 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,690 kg with 479 bhp, which works out at 283 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 283 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.07 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,271st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 64th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 115.7 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 550 Maranello 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 550 Maranello reaches 60 mph in 4.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,271st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 550 Maranello quarter mile time?
12.51 s at 115.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.18 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.07 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 550 Maranello have?
479 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 283 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 320 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 550 Maranello?
Closest here on pace: TVR Chimaera 5.0 (4.17 s), Alpina B5 S (4.25 s), Dodge Viper RT/10 456 PS (4.16 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 550 Maranello 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 550 Maranello 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.
