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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.
