Jaguar XJ 3.2 200

The Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 reaches 60 mph in 7.71 s (100 km/h in 8.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.21 s, tripping the lights at 87.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s and the eighth mile in 10.60 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 XJ 3.2 200

The 1986 Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,700 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 116 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.77 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 5,954th quickest to 60 mph, and the 157th quickest of the 187 Jaguars here. Its 87.6 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 Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 0-60 time?
The Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 reaches 60 mph in 7.71 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 5,954th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 quarter mile time?
16.21 s at 87.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.60 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 have?
197 bhp and 1,700 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 211 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jaguar XJ 3.2 200?
Closest here on pace: Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon 2.0 TS 150 (7.72 s), Nissan Leaf 52kWh (7.66 s), SEAT Altea 2.0 TDI 170 (7.78 s). Each one can be raced against the Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 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 Jaguar XJ 3.2 200 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.
