Gordon Keeble G.K.1

The Gordon Keeble G.K.1 reaches 60 mph in 5.92 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.59 s, tripping the lights at 96.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s and the eighth mile in 9.50 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 Keeble G.K.1

The 1964 Gordon Keeble G.K.1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,400 kg with 300 bhp, which works out at 215 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 215 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.46 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,917th quickest to 60 mph. Its 96.0 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

14.59 s at 96.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.50 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s.
How much power does the Gordon Keeble G.K.1 have?
300 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 215 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 233 km/h.
What cars are comparable to the Gordon Keeble G.K.1?
Closest here on pace: Amc AMX (5.92 s), Iso Rivolta Grifo L GL350 Series I (6.21 s), Morgan Plus 8 3.5 Mk II (6.09 s). Each one can be raced against the Gordon Keeble G.K.1 in the panel at the top of this page.
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 Gordon Keeble G.K.1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
