Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260

The Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 reaches 60 mph in 7.76 s (100 km/h in 8.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.02 s, tripping the lights at 92.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s and the eighth mile in 10.69 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 Continental 4.6 V8 260

The 1995 Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,745 kg with 260 bhp, which works out at 149 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.88 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,049th quickest to 60 mph, and the 10th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 92.9 mph, the 4,273rd highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 reaches 60 mph in 7.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,049th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 quarter mile time?
16.02 s at 92.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.69 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 have?
260 bhp and 1,745 kg, which is 149 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 215 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Concorde 3.5 V6 250 (7.76 s), Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan 3.8 V6 Supercharged 243 (7.73 s), Bentley Turbo R (7.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 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 Lincoln Continental 4.6 V8 260 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.
