About the Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215

The 1970 Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,432 kg with 215 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 88 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.22 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 12,681st quickest to 60 mph, and the 27th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 81.2 mph, the 9,355th 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 four-door 7.5 V8 215 0-60 time?

The Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215 reaches 60 mph in 11.84 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 12,681st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215 quarter mile time?

19.29 s at 81.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 13.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.22 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215 have?

215 bhp and 2,432 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 3 gears and a quoted top speed of 185 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215?

Closest here on pace: Proton Waja/Impian 1.8 116 (11.95 s), Saab 9-3 2.0 130 (11.96 s), Suzuki Swift Sedan 1.3 68 (12.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 215 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 four-door 7.5 V8 215 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.
