Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121

The Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 reaches 60 mph in 17.69 s (100 km/h in 18.95 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 21.05 s, tripping the lights at 65.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.38 s and the eighth mile in 13.51 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 Range Rover 2.5 TD 121

The 1988 Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 1,930 kg with 119 bhp, which works out at 62 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.38 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 14,806th quickest to 60 mph, and the 84th quickest of the 86 Land Rovers here. Its 65.4 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 Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 0-60 time?
The Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 reaches 60 mph in 17.69 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 14,806th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 quarter mile time?
21.05 s at 65.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.38 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 have?
119 bhp and 1,930 kg, which is 62 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 150 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121?
Closest here on pace: Land Rover Range Rover 3dr 2.5 TD 121 (17.69 s), Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara 5dr 2.0 TD 85 (17.89 s), Daihatsu Move 0.8 42 (17.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Land Rover Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 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 Range Rover 2.5 TD 121 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.
