Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350

The Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 reaches 60 mph in 8.79 s (100 km/h in 9.16 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.94 s, tripping the lights at 90.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s and the eighth mile in 11.45 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.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Continental 7.0 V8 350

The 1958 Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,347 kg with 350 bhp, which works out at 149 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 149 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.87 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 8,039th quickest to 60 mph, and the 14th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 90.7 mph, the 4,901st 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 7.0 V8 350 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 reaches 60 mph in 8.79 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 8,039th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 quarter mile time?
16.94 s at 90.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.45 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.87 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 have?
350 bhp and 2,347 kg, which is 149 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 196 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Concorde 3.2 V6 222 (8.71 s), Chrysler Sebring Sedan 2.7 V6 203 (2003) (8.71 s), Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 340 (8.80 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental 7.0 V8 350 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 350 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.
