Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365

The Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 reaches 60 mph in 8.33 s (100 km/h in 8.66 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.49 s, tripping the lights at 93.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s and the eighth mile in 11.16 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 7.6 V8 365

The 1961 Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,350 kg with 365 bhp, which works out at 155 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 155 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.80 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 7,176th quickest to 60 mph, and the 12th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 93.5 mph, the 4,080th 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 7.6 V8 365 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 reaches 60 mph in 8.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,176th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 quarter mile time?
16.49 s at 93.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.16 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.80 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 have?
365 bhp and 2,350 kg, which is 155 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler Concorde 3.5 V6 234 (8.23 s), Chrysler 300M (8.50 s), Chrysler 300C 3.5 V6 245 (8.44 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental 7.6 V8 365 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 7.6 V8 365 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.
