Ford Escape 3.0i 203

The Ford Escape 3.0i 203 reaches 60 mph in 7.98 s (100 km/h in 8.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.45 s, tripping the lights at 86.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s and the eighth mile in 10.75 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 Escape 3.0i 203

The 2000 Ford Escape 3.0i 203 is a front-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,642 kg with 200 bhp, which works out at 122 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.89 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,478th quickest to 60 mph, and the 196th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 86.2 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 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Escape 3.0i 203 0-60 time?
The Ford Escape 3.0i 203 reaches 60 mph in 7.98 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,478th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Escape 3.0i 203 quarter mile time?
16.45 s at 86.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.75 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.89 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Escape 3.0i 203 have?
200 bhp and 1,642 kg, which is 122 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 175 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Escape 3.0i 203?
Closest here on pace: Lexus RX 300 V6 220 (8.02 s), Peugeot 3008 2.0 BlueHDi 180 (8.00 s), GMC Acadia 3.6 V6 279 (7.99 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Escape 3.0i 203 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 Ford Escape 3.0i 203 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
