About the Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155

The 1990 Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,856 kg with 153 bhp, which works out at 82 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.22 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 13,209th quickest to 60 mph, and the 70th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. Its 73.2 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.

Questions

What is the Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 0-60 time?

The Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 reaches 60 mph in 12.45 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,209th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 quarter mile time?

19.16 s at 73.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.42 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.22 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 have?

153 bhp and 1,856 kg, which is 82 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 163 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155?

Closest here on pace: Subaru XV 1.6i CVT 114 (12.44 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 (12.31 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 115 (12.31 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 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 Discovery 3dr 3.5 V8 155 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.
