About the Defender 110 2.5 TD 122

The 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,055 kg with 121 bhp, which works out at 59 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.94 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 14,580th quickest to 60 mph, and the 76th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. Its 66.2 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 Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 reaches 60 mph in 15.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,580th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 quarter mile time?
20.12 s at 66.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.74 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.94 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 have?
121 bhp and 2,055 kg, which is 59 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 130 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122?
Closest here on pace: Land Rover Defender 90 2.5 TDi 122 (15.62 s), Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD 120 (15.30 s), Dacia Logan MCV 1.5 dCi 70 (2006) (16.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 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 Land Rover Defender 110 2.5 TD 122 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
