About the Continental 7.0 V8 300

The 1961 Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,235 kg with 300 bhp, which works out at 134 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 134 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.03 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,505th quickest to 60 mph, and the 22nd quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 85.7 mph, the 6,966th 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.

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 Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 0-60 time?

The Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 reaches 60 mph in 10.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,505th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 quarter mile time?

18.08 s at 85.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.25 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.03 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 have?

300 bhp and 2,235 kg, which is 134 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 190 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300?

Closest here on pace: Samsung SM5 2.5 V6 173 (10.19 s), Chrysler 300C 2.7 V6 190 (10.22 s), Daewoo Nubira Sedan 2.0 133 (10.09 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 300 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 7.0 V8 300 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.
