Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224

The Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 reaches 60 mph in 10.68 s (100 km/h in 11.14 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 18.42 s, tripping the lights at 84.5 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.08 s and the eighth mile in 12.51 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 four-door 7.5 V8 224

The 1970 Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,321 kg with 224 bhp, which works out at 96 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 96 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.08 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 11,218th quickest to 60 mph, and the 23rd quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.5 mph, the 7,524th 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 224 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 reaches 60 mph in 10.68 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 11,218th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 quarter mile time?
18.42 s at 84.5 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.08 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 have?
224 bhp and 2,321 kg, which is 96 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 four-door 7.5 V8 224?
Closest here on pace: Saab 9-5 2.0t 150 (10.59 s), Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 108 (10.76 s), Chevrolet Malibu 2.4i 164 (10.90 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Continental four-door 7.5 V8 224 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 224 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.
