Lola T296 BMW

The Lola T296 BMW reaches 60 mph in 3.76 s (100 km/h in 3.89 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.29 s, tripping the lights at 132.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s and the eighth mile in 7.51 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.94 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 T296 BMW

The 1976 Lola T296 BMW is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 602 kg with 380 bhp, which works out at 630 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 630 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 860th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 2nd quickest of the 2 Lolas here. Its 132.1 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 6 of 8 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lola T296 BMW 0-60 time?
The Lola T296 BMW reaches 60 mph in 3.76 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 860th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lola T296 BMW quarter mile time?
11.29 s at 132.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.51 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lola T296 BMW have?
380 bhp and 602 kg, which is 630 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 285 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lola T296 BMW?
Closest here on pace: Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (3.48 s), 9ff Speed9 (3.64 s), Isdera Commendatore 112i Mk I facelift (3.65 s). Each one can be raced against the Lola T296 BMW 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 Lola T296 BMW is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 6 of its 8 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
