Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221

The Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 reaches 60 mph in 7.15 s (100 km/h in 7.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.52 s, tripping the lights at 92.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s and the eighth mile in 10.13 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 Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221

The 2006 Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,545 kg with 221 bhp, which works out at 143 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.60 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,934th quickest to 60 mph, and the 7th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. Its 92.4 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 reaches 60 mph in 7.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,934th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 quarter mile time?
15.52 s at 92.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.60 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 have?
221 bhp and 1,545 kg, which is 143 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221?
Closest here on pace: Cadillac DTS 4.6 V8 292 (7.09 s), Maserati Quattroporte I 4.1 V8 260 (7.06 s), VW Passat Sedan 2.0 TDI SCR BlueMotion 190 Auto (7.13 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 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 Zephyr 3.0i V6 24V 221 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.
